Behind every name is a great story and Hero doesn’t disappoint.
John and Maree Ratcliffe are the dynamic husband and wife duo behind Solid Ground Roasters. Successful careers in the corporate world, as well as more than 15 years of retail coffee experience, including their own line of cafes, has given this savvy couple the perfect blend of skills to launch their latest venture, Solid Ground Roasters.
Coffee is our specialty and while coffee will always be our hero, people and relationships are what we love the most about our journey taking coffee from farm to the cup. One of our most cherished relationships is with SunnyKids, which began after a conversation with Chappy Dave from Buderim Mountain State School on the Sunshine Coast.
Behind all great products is an inspiring story and our Hero Blend doesn’t disappoint. True to its name, Hero is an exclusive, outstanding blend. We use a combination of beans sourced directly, and at a fair price, from farms in Colombia, Brazil and Nicaragua.
As self-claimed coffee addicts, we always wake up craving that first cup of coffee in the morning. We’re also the first to admit that, after a sleepless, hot summer night, it’s usually a cold, refreshing drink we’re after, instead of the usual hot cup of coffee. If you’ve been feeling the same as the weather warms up, let us introduce you to our favourite summer drink, and no, it’s not a cocktail! Cold brew coffee is our go-to on a warm summer morning. It’s easy to prepare, keeps in the fridge, has a refreshing taste, all while giving you the coffee hit you desire.
