About 3Zeros
3Zeros Coffee was born on the job — built by cops, for a community that gives everything.
Our Story
We are current and former Police officers who between us and our immediate families, have given close to 160 years of service to the community. We've walked the same beat, answered the same calls, and sat in the same tearoom.
And we've watched too many good people fall through the cracks.
Mental health in the emergency services community is a crisis hiding in plain sight. The culture of toughness that makes a great first responder can also be the very thing that stops them asking for help. We saw it in colleagues. We saw it in friends. Some of us saw it closer to home than that.
We started 3Zeros Coffee because we wanted to do something about it — and because we knew that if we were going to ask people to support a cause, we'd better give them something bloody good in return.
So we did.
Why Coffee?
Coffee is the lifeblood of emergency services. It's the 3am fuel, the before and end-of-shift ritual, the thing that gets passed around when words don't come easy. It's how we look after each other in small ways when the big stuff feels too hard.
We wanted to take something that already sits at the heart of our community and give it a purpose beyond the cup. A portion from every purchase of 3Zeros Coffee goes back into organisations that support the mental health and wellbeing of first responders — people who give everything, and deserve to know someone's got their back too.
Who We Are
A friend, your colleague. One mission. Zero compromise.
We are not a charity. We are a business built on the belief that you shouldn't have to choose between great coffee and doing the right thing. When you buy from 3Zeros Coffee, you get both.
We source and roast specialty coffee through a trusted Melbourne roaster — collected fresh every week so you get the best possible cup. We pour the same care into the coffee as we do into the cause, because anything less would be embarrassing.
Mission
To support the emergency services community by providing premium coffee from which a portion of every sale is donated to organisations that align with our values — and to keep the conversation about mental health alive, loud and stigma-free.
Values
Integrity
We operate transparently and ethically in everything we do — from the coffee we source to the organisations we support.
Connected
We are bound by shared experience. We understand this community because we are this community.
Supportive
We care about the mental health and wellbeing of every person who has worn a uniform. We listen without judgement.
Safe
We communicate openly and honestly, and we respect the people we engage with — always.
