At our core,
we’re innovators,
collaborators and
dreamers

We’re pioneering new solutions centred around adding value to our industry and elevating the experiences of coffee lovers around the world.

An outpouring of passion

The coffee we know and love starts in the soil. From farming and processing through to roasting, extraction and preparation, our team has extensive experience across various stages of the production process. We’re inspired by what we’ve seen, and excited by what coffee could be.

Our benchmarks are on the rise

We’re obsessed with experimenting, researching and testing. As a result, we’re constantly raising our standards. Fixated on the fine details, we test and taste, then test again, knowing there’s always room for improvement.

Pushing the boundaries of process and product

We see opportunity in every cup. To heighten flavour profiles and elevate everyday experiences. To optimise efficiency and maximise enjoyment. Backed by scientific institutions and a world-class team, we’re pioneering new solutions that add value to our industry.

With decades of experience between us, our holistic approach is shaped by optimising what’s in the cup and the desire to discover the full potential of every bean.

Industry expertise

Our collective history includes operating four coffee farms, a world renowned roastery and some of Australia’s most innovative coffee bars, as well as introducing the carbonic maceration processing method to specialty coffee. We have since collaborated with the world leading coffee university in Switzerland to explore further industry innovation.

Success on the stage

The Nucleus Coffee Tools team has extensive competition success. Our founder, Saša Šestić won the 2015 World Barista Championship, and our Director, Sam Corra was the runner-up 2017 World Brewers Champion.

Additionally, other members of our team have been involved in coaching and competitions for a number of years – achieving both success themselves on competitive coffee stages, and helping others achieve success in national and world competitions.

Coaching and collaboration

We’ve coached multiple national and international champions, including the first ever female world barista champion, the first ever World Barista Championship finalist from Africa, and two winners of the World Brewers Cup (2021, 2024).

These achievements have evolved into greater industry change beyond the competition platform, and have enabled us to innovate and improve on technologies to help coffee professionals across the entire supply chain.
