Coffee rules at Rocket. Business partners Glen Crompton and Glen Woodcock started roasting coffee in Hamilton back in 1995 and their store, tucked down an alleyway off Barton Street, is a must-visit for aficionados heading to New Zealand’s largest inland city.
Rocket gets their green beans from small, singlefarmer or farmer-owned cooperative lots in some of the world’s great growing regions and creates a roast that is essentially the coffee they like to drink.
Quality coffee that is ethically traded and traceable back to the source has been steadily growing in importance to consumers in New Zealand, and Glen says when it comes to the worldwide market there’s really no place to hide.
