Wood Fired Coffee, a much-loved Australian coffee brand, famous for roasting its beans over real wood fire, has arrived in the UK – bringing with it a slower, more soulful way to enjoy coffee.
Founded by coffee obsessive Mark Pupo, Wood Fired Coffee does things differently. Instead of gas or fast roasting, every batch is carefully slow-roasted over flame, using a custom-built wood roaster fuelled by sustainably sourced hardwoods, resulting in a smoother, richer cup with natural sweetness, lower acidity and layers of deep, flame-kissed flavour. This old-fashioned roasting method – once common, now incredibly rare – allows the beans to develop gently over time.
It’s this dedication to craft that has seen Wood Fired Coffee grow from a small, family-run operation into a cult favourite across Australia, now stocked nationally.
Founder Mark Pupo grew up surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee – a daily ritual that brought family together.
“Good coffee should never be rushed,” says Mark. “It takes time to make and time to enjoy. When I couldn’t find the flavour, balance and quality I was looking for, I decided to create it myself.”
Rediscovering traditional wood-fired roasting changed everything. “It’s slower and more hands-on, but the reward is incredible. You can genuinely taste the care in every batch.”
