I am an avid coffee lover. I make it all the time at home - both filter & espresso-based. Imagine how thrilled I was when I found that there was a roaster in Tekapo area!
My wife and I popped by one morning (we were only in the region for effectively 40 hours). We were so warmly welcomed that my Asian conservativeness felt at ease.

If you're a romantic who knows how to brew your own coffee while traveling in a campervan, you should definitely visit this place. It looks like a typical New Zealand rural home, but they were very kind when I asked for help in the yard. I bought some for myself and gifts for my friends! Bless Southern...
