Mission Statement


"To provide the best quality coffee, products and service in the New Zealand market."


Our Philosophy


There is an abundance of coffee produced in the world - some excellent, some good and much of it downright ordinary. But the one universal truth that should never be ignored ..."Life's too short to drink bad coffee"


Our Product


Altura coffee is fresh roasted daily at our Albany premises, in North Shore City, Auckland. Small controlled batches are carefully prepared and blended. (One of the companys' bean roasting machines can be viewed inside Cafe Altura, adjacent to our new purpose-built factory and distribution centre.

In the Cafe, trained Baristas (espresso coffee makers) are always on hand to make sure you get your espresso, exactly the way you want it.
