Pouring Silverskin Coffee Roasters, their coffee is smooth, consistent and bold, they also have a new Single Origin to try each week. Silverskin is a local roaster, on Macquarie Rd Cardiff you might have picked up some of their beans before from the Olive Tree or Newcastle Farmers Markets. Tony and Carolyn chose to go with Silverskin as they had been using their beans at home for years, so when they opened Door 34 there was no question which beans they would use.
