About Us

We're as serious about coffee as we are about our haircuts.

The impossibility of having both strength & complex flavours defines Shaky Isles Coffee

In the beginning of 2008, New Zealand wasn’t as we know it now. 

Well caffeinated yes, but maybe not from coffee companies that reflected the path New Zealand was on in making exceptional coffee. Flat whites. Flat, and white – we are nothing if not literal. North Island. South Island. Bless.
By the end of 2008 it had Shaky Isles. More than literal.

Shaky Isles is about making coffee with the same kind of unhinged focus New Zealander’s have for their weekends, so we can enjoy it with the same kind of aloof concern we have for things like ballroom dancing and quilt making exhibitions.

It’s our roasting technology that produces smooth and consistent coffee blends – giving us strength and robustness, and most importantly, flavour profiles that do not get roasted away. The impossibility of having both strength and complexity is what defines Shaky Isles Coffee. Duality. Having your cake and eating it too. Both sides of the coin. Bird in the hand and two in the bush. Wolf in wolf’s clothing. 

Our roastery is in Auckland, but we know not everyone lives in Auckland and if you don't, you probably hate it - so.... we’ve made Shaky Isles coffee obtainable nationwide via our super duper caffeinated website www.shakyisles.co.nz

Shaky Isles 
We're a little land always showing the world we’re made of something bigger. We’re down-to-earth intellectuals - unfashionably stylish, chilled and fizzing at the bung.
We’re brewed different. You are too.
