the dirty coffee secret

Hi, I'm Toby, the guy who decided taking on billion-dollar coffee giants was a sensible life choice 👋

Back in 2011, I realised the big foreign brands were taking Aussies for a ride.

Most big brands roast overseas, stick your coffee on a cargo ship for months, and slap you with a 'Corporate Coffee Tax'. So, I went rogue and built a local roastery to take on the giants.

My mission was simple: give you a 3-step cheat code to beat the system 👇


1. Roaster-Direct: We kicked the middleman out of the group chat (he was annoying anyway) to bring you insanely fresh, plant-based pods at roaster-direct prices.

2. Volume Discounts: The more you buy, the cheaper it gets. It’s like knowing a guy, who knows a guy, who owns a roastery (spoiler: you do).

3. Subscribe & Save: Unlock up to 40% off. It’s literally the easiest way to give yourself a raise. And don't panic, you can cancel in two clicks – we aren't a gym!

HAPPY OR MONEY BACK 🤝

Most 'brand promises' are sneaky fine print and zero actual help. Ours is different.

If you aren't doing a happy dance after your first sip, here is exactly how we fix it:

The Flavour Swap: If your coffee isn’t hitting the spot, we’ll send you a different intensity to try, completely on the house.

Machine Whisperers: Machine acting up? Our team will troubleshoot your pour until you're pulling café-quality crema.

The 'No BS' Refund: If we still can't win you over, we'll refund every single cent. No interrogations, no awkward breakups.

99% of customers never need it – but it's nice to know it's there.

We’re in the business of making you happy, not holding your wallet hostage.

Your Happiness

(our obsession)

FAST DISPATCH

Usually out the door in 24 hours. We treat a low stash like an international crisis.

LOVE LETTERS

Expect a handwritten note in every box. Yes, our hands cramp. No, we won't stop.

Real humans

Question? A real human (probably high on caffeine) will reply. No scripts, just help.

A large pile of discarded aluminium coffee capsules, illustrating why Urban Brew doesn't use aluminium

WHY WE DITCHED ALUMINIUM 🙅‍♂️

“Aluminium pods are ok because they're recyclable – right?”

Yeah, and technically I’m going to the gym tomorrow 🤥


The truth is that the vast majority of those shiny pods actually get dumped straight in the bin. Once they leave your kitchen, they’ll be hanging around longer than Cher’s career (and not looking half as good).


And for the ones that do make it to recycling? It’s a total drama. We’re talking shipping, shredding, separating coffee, burning varnish and re-smelting.

Worse yet, the big guys ship most of them from Europe with more baggage than a Bachelor contestant 🌹

We decided to skip the drama. We roast locally and pack it directly into plant-based pods. No corporate baggage, just damn good coffee.

Meet The Maker, TOBY

(better at coffee than photos)

If you’ve scrolled this far down, you’re either doing a deep background check on me or you’re aggressively avoiding your inbox. Either way, welcome 👋

I'm Toby. I started this whole operation. Since I've already pitched you on coffee until we're both exhausted, I thought I'd just use this space to overshare.

My core skills include consuming irresponsible amounts of caffeine, writing weird website copy and panicking when a camera is pointed at me 📸

Case in point: That is my incredibly patient wife, Angela, sitting next to me. She looks lovely. I, on the other hand, am sweating profusely – all because the photographer said, 'Just act natural'.

Hit play to watch me attempt normal human interaction while my family silently evaluates my life choices 🍿

Got questions?

(we’ve got answers)

Good news – we play nicely with others. Our pods are compatible with:

  • Nespresso®* Original Line
  • ALDI Expressi®* / K-fee®*
  • Most Caffitaly®* machines

Nope – despite what the big corporate coffee giants might whisper in your ear to scare you into buying their overpriced capsules.

Absolutely not. We leave the dodgy, impossible-to-cancel contracts to the big gyms and telcos.

No mystery maths, no surprise fees that appear at the last second like a plot twist. Just flat rate shipping, so you know exactly what you'll pay before you check out.
