Escape Coffee

Escape Coffee was born in 2011. Since then their journey has been one of discovery of the art and science throughout the whole coffee chain including sourcing all kinds of coffee which feature  different processing methods, roast profiles and brew methods.  Tom bought into the business in 2019 and is continuing to evolve the coffee business in the most sustainable way possible including ensuring coffee is delivered as efficiently as possible and wrapped using only compostable or reusable packaging.

Escape also has special booths using  a Taranaki building product made from recycled material.  This is potentially set to show up in some of the biggest businesses across the country.  saveBOARD founded by New Plymouth man Paul Charteris, turns soft plastics such as bread bags, cat food packets, courier bags, and used beverage containers into a board that can be used as a sustainable alternative to conventional plasterboard, plywood or particle board.   While tasting a great Escape Coffee, Tom will also share with you his big plans for the future.
