ONA Coffee
ONA Coffee is a Canberra-based specialty coffee roaster founded in 2008 by former Olympic handball player Saša Šestić, built around the values of innovation, community, and excellence.

ONA Coffee was founded in 2008 by Saša Šestić, who began roasting coffee out of his garage in Canberra, Australia, with a straightforward vision: to create great coffee and share it as widely as possible. The roastery has grown into one of Australia's most highly regarded specialty coffee operations, guided by three core values—innovation, community, and excellence. ONA has a strong record of competitive achievement, including a World Barista Championship won by Saša Šestić in 2015 and numerous Australian and international titles across disciplines such as barista, cup tasting, latte art, and coffee in good spirits. In 2019, the roastery and head office transitioned to solar power, certifying that every coffee roasted at the Canberra facility is produced using renewable energy. ONA also runs barista education courses, maintains multiple flagship café locations, operates a wholesale program, and has launched a Women in Coffee campaign to highlight the experiences of women working in the industry.
