Stella is here to provide high-quality, delicious, and responsibly sourced coffee to anyone who wants to discover it. Stella is led by Tim Varney, who’s been doing coffee for some time and in various capacities – as a coffee roaster, as the co-founder of the World AeroPress Championship, or as a co-founder of Melbourne’s first co-roasting space Bureaux.
