Excellent Fresh Coffee


Situated in Lynnwood road in close proximity to the suburbs of Brooklyn and Waterkloof as well as Tuks Pretoria University campus this gourmet coffee shop is two years in existence.

I came across the Aroma Truck at the recent ‘Coffee and Chocolate Expo’ held at Monte Casino 17 to 20 July 2014 and made a note that I must at all costs try the Aroma coffee offering in Pretoria.  Yesterday, my expectations were exceeded. 

The Aroma coffee shop and ice-cream and waffle parlour is a real gem.  Two separate businesses run side by side and are both Aroma initiatives.  The perfect place for professionals, students and residents to meet.  In addition to which my recommendation is primarily to coffee fanatics and coffee lovers.  I had two excellent cappuccinos, possibly my best ever, which will have me coming back for more when next in Pretoria.


AROMA lives up to its name as their coffee bean grinding process enables the freshest coffee experience possible
 
 
Aroma Gourmet Coffee established in 2012, is headed up by Rael Shiller who has a wonderful enthusiasm for his coffee craft and trade and definitely has his finger on the pulse of the best quality freshly roasted coffee available, giving the customer a chance to experience coffee at its finest.
The food menu offers gourmet sandwiches and cakes and satisfied clients line the pavement and upstairs comfy sitting lounge and work space tables ideal for the travelling professional with laptop in tow.  There is a relaxed and comfortable buzz where people can socialise and relax or get down to studies or work.

AROMA TRUCK


Corporate, sporting and food related events in need of a first class coffee experience should include the Aroma Truck in their event planning!
The Coffee Bean
Roasted coffee beans maintains their peak flavour for only two weeks and by the fourth week they would be stale. Ground beans on the other hand last only 24 hours and there is plenty of research that shows a substantial flavour change after the first hour.  At Aroma Gourmet Coffee Roastery, they roast and pack within 24 hours (usually the same day) and can deliver to your door within 2 to 3 days! According to Rael, if you do the calculations, Aroma are supplying in at least one tenth of the time of other traditional suppliers.

This process translates directly into FRESHNESS and more importantly, TASTE

 Aroma Coffee offers the best Guatamala Roast - "Elegant and refined with layers of unfolding flavour"

The Antigua Valley of Guatemala is treasured for its 100-year-old farms, nutrient-rich volcanic soil and its coffee, which is the touchstone of quality. Farmers take enormous pride in traditions they’ve passed on for generations. As a result, the coffee you experience is rich and multidimensional, with a flavour that’s consistent, cup after cup, notes with an elegant mouth feel unique to this region.

Aroma Coffee offers the best Roast from Uganda - "Bold, dark, slightly adventurous"
Its aroma is darker than an Ethiopian with a touch of Brazil nut that you can taste in the cup, but sweet and mild, and boasting a deep, earthy, woody mouth feel. The body of the cup is fairly light, like most African coffees, but the flavour is surprisingly rich, Bugisu coffee has more body than most other East African coffees, and somewhat lower acidity.

Aroma Coffee offers the best Ethiopian Roast - "An elegant East African coffee"


"Ethiopia Sidamo" is a type of Arabica coffee of single origin grown exclusively in the Sidamo Province of Ethiopia. Like most African coffees, Ethiopia Sidamo features a small and greyish bean, yet is valued for its deep, spice and wine or chocolate-like taste and floral aroma. The most distinctive flavour notes found in all Sidamo coffees are lemon and citrus with bright crisp acidity. Sidamo coffee includes Yirgachefe Coffee and Guji Coffee. Both coffee types are very high quality.
