Damon Schmetzer is ready to help bridge the divide between coffee lovers and roasters by bringing quirkier flavours to town.

"The pop-up I am starting is a way to bring something new," he said.

"I want to bring a different style of cafe to Wagga. I want to strip everything back and focus on coffee.

"I want to show people coffee is not just about that caffeine hit in the morning. You can actually get different flavours and profiles out of it."

Mr Schmetzer said there is a whole new world to explore when it comes to weird, but wonderful tastes of the much-loved drink.

He said from red frogs to cheesecake-flavoured coffee and even beans that taste like mulled wine, there are so many options.

"I am trying to bring coffees at the start that will taste like banana, coconut as well as the usual caramel and chocolate," Mr Schmetzer said.

"I am going to work with a local roaster [Chris Brown] who will give me the opportunity to pick from a different variety.

"He's been open to working with me."

Mr Schmetzer said there is a demand for coffee in Wagga, which is clearly a city of caffeine lovers.

His pop up, Barista Damon at the Thirsty Crow, will open on Wednesdays from 7am to 2pm and Saturday from 7am to 12pm from October 14.

Chris Brown, the owner of Négociant Roasters, has recently started roasting locally, a development he said is partly due to the love for caffeine this city has.

He added there is one other local roaster that he knows of, and Wagga is playing catch up to other cities around the region such as Albury.

"There are a few advantages mainly for the business itself as there is the benefit of not having to worry about shipping and the coffee not arriving on time," Mr Brown said.

"That can be extremely debilitating for a coffee shop.

"Also being able to work with the roaster, being able to get that tailored experience and being able to develop what the local taste is special."

Mr Brown said he is keen to start developing some of the more quirky flavours that can be found in metropolitan areas.

"In the city, it is a lot easier to get those products as there is a lot of roasters, but out here that has been a problem," he added.

"You don't have that stable connection, but now we can do that. We can experiment, and just tasting together makes a huge difference."

Mr Brown is located at 10 Best Street and encourages anyone interested to pop in for a chat or to see how the roaster works.
