Getroasted is an initiative of Cafe Culture International. It was brought to life thanks to a bright idea from director Sean Edwards who wanted to pay tribute to all of the talented coffee roasters that enter our annual Golden Bean Coffee Roaster Competition and Conference.

This annual guide has been designed with the coffee roaster in mind as a useful, visually inspired and interesting keepsake for the coffee roasting community. The photos that are scattered throughout this publication that have been credited to Getroasted team member Tilly Edwards were taken on work related road trips visiting roasters and cafes around Australia. ~ Enjoy ~

Welcome to our Getroasted issue of Cafe Culture Magazine. We decided that another print issue was due, to help celebrate the wonderful world of coffee roasters who we connect with from around the globe.

The CCI design team have done an amazing job this issue to highlight the production end of the coffee industry, completing the roaster story.

It’s a great feeling to be so proud of one’s companies’ achievements in the event industry over the last ten years.

We really feel we have created a world first in the coffee industry by being the pioneers of a global coffee competition, “The Golden Bean”.

Cafe Culture International has again led the way by establishing a coffee competition that puts the focus back on the coffee roaster and the skills associated with this job role.

The Golden Bean Competition gives the coffee industry the opportunity to help judge the markets leading coffee businesses and the staff behind the manufacturing side of coffee roasting production. The competition is now twelve years old and has expanded to four countries judging over 3000 coffees in total across Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada. #Getroasted | 2019

My aim, when I looked at the mechanics behind the Golden Bean was to work out how we could unite coffee roasters and reward their unique skill set. The industry at the time was very fragmented and most of the professional focus was heavily influenced by barista training and competitions.

I realized the opportunity seeing first hand how competitions brought the toughest of competitors together, and then the penny dropped in my head that the industry needed a well-run event that all coffee companies of any size could participate in. Twelve years later the Golden Bean has grown into a 4-day conference where coffee professionals learn and participate in practical educational workshops whilst also networking with like-minded people.

healthy for me as a business owner as it helps in our future direction and also keeps me on my toes as an astute business person. The coffee industry is built on trends and having been a major player in the coffee and cafe media I have seen concepts come and go. Good ideas do stick!

We know the Golden Bean Competition is growing because we have a predictable growth rate and the Golden Bean concept is getting stronger each year as more roasters see the business sense of getting involved and the added bonus of the marketing they get from their medal wins.

The Golden Bean Competition would not have grown to where it is today if it was not for the full industry support and a strong internal team working behind the scenes to make the wheels turn. This includes our staff, volunteers, sponsors, speakers and the roasters who make the effort to enter and attend the events. I still love getting feedback each year after the Golden Bean from participants and sponsors and where we can, we will evolve the format of the competition to benefit and grow the event so the consumer (coffee customer) will be the beneficiary of a lot of time and hard work.

My vision for Golden Bean is a global one! We have plans now for Asia and Europe. The event has lots of moving parts and the challenge has been to find many global sponsors that understand the full involvement that comes with this competition. In my eyes, being part of the Golden Bean as a sponsor is a simple concept as there is no other opportunity where you can support the supply chain end of the business or what I like to call the ‘money end of the business cycle’. Like all good ideas we now have some competitors in this space that are trying hard to replicate this competition. This to me is very

Please take the time with me to celebrate our amazing global coffee industry.

Joan Dibden and Joy Phelps

Many people are unaware that coffee grows commercially in Australia and fewer would know that it was a couple of retirees who pioneered the Australian coffee growing industry in New South Wales.

Following successful careers as a pathologist and nurse, the somewhat eccentric Joan Dibden and Joy Phelps, decided to do something different to occupy their time in retirement.

Little did they know then, they were destined to be famous not only for their extraordinary personal and professional achievements, but for a considerable number of ‘firsts’ in the Australian coffee industry.

Early last year, Nat Byron called to ask if I’d help write their story. Shortly afterwards however, on 20th September, Joan lost a brief battle with cancer. It came as a shock, as just prior, Joan and Joy were enjoying a trip to India. So it was with great sadness, but with much celebration of a life well lived, with a small group from the local coffee community, I attended her funeral the following week. Over a cup of coffee afterwards, we sketched out this story.

PEOPLE - Joan Dibden and Joy Phelps

[Pioneers of coffee growing in NSW]

People Coffee had arrived in Sydney with the first fleet, and since then, various individuals had experimented with growing it around the Clarence, Richmond and Tweed Rivers in the Northern Rivers region.

On Wolbin Island in the Clarence River, John Bale experienced some commercial success for a brief period of time until the 1920s. Also in 1897, plantings had began at the government-owned Wallingbah Experimental Farm near Lismore.

for a small commercial operation.

In the early years of Wombah Plantation, it was a lot of hard work and a steep learning curve. Their first crop in 1985 was so small, it could fit into a bucket!

But their dream for Wombah was more than a plantation. A processing plant, roastery and cafe were eventually added. You could also say they had the first ‘crop-to-cup’ coffee business in Australia – with Joan in charge of the farm and Joy in charge of the cafe.

Nearly 100 years later, it was Joan and Joy who were ultimately recognised as the first to experience long-lasting success in the commercial production of coffee in the Northern Rivers area of NSW – just behind Nat and Linda Jacques who started Jacques Coffee in Far North Queensland in 1979.

Settling in a tiny town called Wombah on the Clarence River, they started what’s possibly the southern-most coffee plantation with any success in the world. It’s often said that ‘what this area lacks in altitude, it makes up in latitude with its cooler climate’, busting the myth that good coffee must be high grown.

Because the soil was mostly clay and poorly drained, they lost a lot of the early trees. Learning that coffee trees like well-drained soil, with a pick and shovel, they dug a large drainage system around the property. They fed and nurtured the trees, mowed in between the rows and removed weeds by hand. The only thing they ever used for pests was white oil. They pruned the trees themselves for ease of harvesting. Processing was done with the aid of basic machinery that often broke down.

Joan and Joy started by gathering seedlings from under trees in the area, including those on Wolbin Island – chosen because they’d already adapted to the local climate, so would do well. They planted the first ones in 1982, and before long had reached maximum capacity for their property with 1,100 fruit bearing trees – a viable amount

They read everything they could access from around the world on how to grow, process and roast coffee and did courses at the local technical college in welding and metalwork to be able to make and repair their own machines.

In 1988 a grant of $44,000 from the Australian Trade Commission saw their business grow to the

that echoes ‘specialty’. Nat Byron says, ‘They were true artisans with flavour, at a time before specialty coffee was ever mentioned in Australia’.

By 1992 they were producing too much for their own cafe, so Rob Forsythe, a coffee roaster from Sydney came forward and bought any excess they had each year. They were eventually to encourage other locals to get into coffee growing, and for a small fee, they processed and roasted their harvest for them. They tried to start a cooperative, but quickly found it was a model that wasn’t going to work in Australia. Joan also taught many of the farmers in the area how to roast, including Nat Byron who now has a very successful crop-to-cup business himself.

At the same time, the local government put forward one of the biggest obstacles to their early efforts – a connection to water for the new processing plant for which they would be charged $26,000. But Joan and Joy were not only pioneers, they were innovators and problem solvers. As they’d done before with any obstacle, they also sorted this one out in their own do-it-yourself style, thereby avoiding the fee.

Priding themselves in doing the farming, processing, roasting and running the cafe themselves, even in their 80s, they did eventually get help with the harvesting. They were among the many growers in the area who employed pensioners from Sydney to help with hand harvesting.

With Joy as the first president, they started the NSW Coffee Growers Association, which was to become the Australian Sub-Tropical Coffee Association in the late 1990s. They worked tirelessly in the early years to successfully build a community around this association, writing its first newsletters and encouraging others to join a Coffee Tasting Group they’d also started.

They were known for being suspicious of any machines such as mechanical harvesters and driers. Adamant that sun drying on raised beds was preferable, for example, they believed this gave a better result than mechanical drying for the Clarence River Bourbon they initially grew.

They liked to call their coffee ‘gourmet’, a word

Joan and Joy were ahead of their time with their focus on flavour – always tasting to assess why they achieved a certain result and what they had to do to make a change. This was an important lesson they taught other local growers and one of the most significant contributions they made to the industry.

next level. Part of this was used to travel to the plantations in Kona, Hawaii, an area with a similar climate, to research growing and processing methods. The remainder went towards building and equipping a processing plant, that was ultimately used for processing berries from 50 other growers in the area as well as their own.

Jan Ford who has known Joan and Joy for nearly 30 years and was part of their Coffee Tasting Group for years, says, ‘Joan and Joy always had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve with growing coffee and this was to produce exceptional quality in their end product. In everything they took on and everything they came up against, they fought to achieve a great tasting cup of Australian coffee.’

their way. They drove developments in coffee production, ensuring the small community of Wombah and the unique coffees they produced would take their rightful place in Australian coffee history.

At a time when all the coffees entered into the Sydney Royal Easter Show were imported, they were the first to enter Australian coffees. Winning many medals in blind tastings, this gave world recognition to Australian coffees. Later they became judges on the tasting panels of the Sydney Royal Easter Show and their significant contribution to the industry over several years as judges was very much appreciated and respected.

Everything I’ve read or heard points to a couple of ladies who had an enthusiastic zest for life, an unstoppable spirit and an enormous sense of humour. In the words of Zeta Grealy, a fellow coffee grower and judge at the Royal Easter Show ‘Joy and Joan always created a warm and funny side to life. Meeting up with them was a treat, and I was never quite sure what to expect, apart from knowing I would end up laughing.’

All in all, Joan Dibden and Joy Phelps are recognised as trailblazers who were never afraid of hard work and the many obstacles that came

Oceana Coffee Roasters will be recognized in the Congressional Record of the U.S. Senate. Rubio released the following video message to congratulate Oceana Coffee Roasters as the Small Business of the Week.

“As we begin a new Congress, I’m honored to take on a new role now as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

As chairman, I’ll highlight a small business in the state of Florida that exemplifies the American entrepreneurial spirit. It is my pleasure to honor Oceana Coffee Roasters of Tequesta, Florida as this year’s first Small Business of the Week.”

“In 2009, Amy and Scott Angelo started their business with a converted popcorn maker and just thirty-five dollars. Since then, they have moved to a large roasting facility, responded to demand in the market for local, fair trade coffee, and expanded their business through e-commerce sales and direct shipments to approximately one-hundred wholesale customers. The Angelo’s and their employees are a great example of American ambition and ingenuity, and I wish them continued success.”

“We are thrilled to be chosen by Senator Rubio for this honor, it has been a long journey and we are delighted to see our hard work and initiative has paid off,” said Amy Angelo. “ When we started this business, we were just a young couple with a dream, and we have been able to see our vision for a better cup of coffee and plenty of changes in the industry since we started this journey,” stated Scott Angelo.

~100 years~ business advantage in 1955 when the business resumed with his two sons Bill and Peter.

On the 16th of June 1955, H. A. Bennett & Sons Pty Limited was incorporated. From this point things happened at great speed with Bill recalling, ‘we wrote our first contract before we even had our own letterhead written, although we did have a few of the old man’s from before the war’.

In the 5 years before HA passed away in 1960, H. A. Bennett & Sons had re-established as a profitable tea trading business, which was no doubt contributed to by smart buying decisions and a good business sense. HA was lucky enough to work alongside all of his sons (pictured right) in the business at some stage, giving true definition to a family owned and run business.

Pictured from left to right, Arthur, Reginald, Horace, Peter, Ronald, Phillip and Graham (son of Arthur). Bill was absent as he was in Ceylon working for Heath & Co (pictured over page).

By 1940 Australia purchased most of its tea from Indonesia which was unusual for a colonised country to not source most of its tea from Empire Teas. Much of this shift from Indian and Ceylon teas was due to Horace. Horace was well respected in many origins and is where he heralded the motto, ‘wherever tea is grown H.A. Bennett is known’.

On February 28th 1942, the tea industry in Australia was taken over by the government due to the war, putting the business on hold until the end of tea rationing in 1955. At the conclusion of World War II in 1945, Prime Minister of Australia Ben Chifley wrote to HA to congratulate his efforts regarding the management of tea during the war (pictured right). During HA’s time as the Tea Controller of Australia, many of his origin connections strengthened giving him a

It was a new era for the family business after HA passed away and this was when Bill and Peter focused their attention to tea from Indonesia.

By the mid 1960s Peter decided to leave the business to start up his own unbranded tea bagging business.

PEOPLE - Bennetts

1918 – 1960 H. A. Bennett Tea Coffee & Cocoa was established in 1918 by Horace Albert Bennett, near the conclusion of World War I. The business set up at 120 King Street in Melbourne at the Wool Exchange. Horace’s most important work during his early years in the tea trade was in Indonesia.

Due to the proximity of the south-east Asian country to Australia, tea arrived faster and fresher than from other tea growing nations.

1961 – 2018

Scott started in the business as the third generation in 1981. Two years later Bill decided to send Scott to Papua New Guinea, a successful tea and coffee growing nation, to learn the trade and get first hand experience. Scott’s time in PNG gave him the foundation to take over the business and move into a new era dominated by coffee. Once upon a time the business consisted of a majority of tea and and a minority of coffee, this has today made a complete reversal with the

23

business consisting mostly of coffee. Since the vast majority of Australia’s coffee is imported, Scott believes the relationships at origin have been a major reason for the longevity of the business. These relationships have been nurtured from HA and Bill’s relationships through tea.

The business was the first Australian ISO and HACCP certified coffee and tea supplier, the first organic accredited importer and Fair Trade registered.

In 2005 the title of the company was passed over from Bill to Scott who went on to continue the success in a coffee dominated market.

In 2013 H. A. Bennett & Sons Pty Limited rebranded to Bennetts to generalise the business to all Bennetts, not just HA and his sons. The business is now the exclusive importer for Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee, Ipanema Coffees, Indian Tiger Mountain and Cafe Femenino.

Today, 100 years after it’s inception, the fourth generation, Alex, Tom & Sam, now work in the business to some capacity. It is a wonder if HA ever imagined what his legacy would mean for the Australian coffee and tea industry for generations to come.

#Getroasted | 2019

PEOPLE - Bennetts

In the 1960s, Bill realised Australia’s love for coffee, fanned by American films and the London Cafe Latte craze, was becoming permanent.

This is when the company began to deepen its ties with producers in Latin America and Asia.

Many of the initial family relationships with roasters back in the 60s remain today. The Patisteas family at Oasis Coffee, the Dimattina family formerly at Mocopan, the Crivelli family at Coffex, the Cottle family at Cottles and many more. Bill was involved in starting up a tea auction in Singapore for smaller traders. Labelled TEACOF, Bill along with Alex Supit of Indonesia and Merrill J Fernando of Ceylon combined forces, but in the end it was unsuccessful due to a lack of support from larger organisations.

About Scott ~ In 1995 Scott became a director of H. A. Bennett & Sons and took over as Managing Director in 2005. Also in 1995 Jennifer & Scott had their first son Alexander. A year later in 1996 Thomas was born and finally Samuel in 2001.

During his time in the coffee and tea industries Scott has gained much respect from across the globe. Scott considers many of the people involved with the company as his closest friends.

Scott Dunne Bennett was born the second of two sons on the 21st of October 1963. Scott started as the third generation in the family business in 1981 at the tender age of 17, after being educated at Yarra Valley Grammar on the outskirts of Melbourne.

Scott arrived in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1983 to work with international coffee exporter ANGCO. At this time Scott was initially meant to stay only for 3 months, however it turned into 3 years.

Scott met many people who were to become his friends during his time in PNG, but none more than his future wife Jennifer Clements who was there on a work assignment with Coopers & Lybrand.

Scott makes special mention to his relationship with Simon Wakefield whom he met in his time in PNG back in the 1980s. Their relationship has prospered and has unlocked both to many further relationships in the coffee world. Today, Scott enjoys his time away from the industry.

Scott was instrumental in the change of focus for the business from tea to coffee as the Australian consumers changed their preferred beverage. Much of Scott’s 20s were spent either on a motorcycle, up in the mountains crosscountry skiing or water skiing. This inclination for sport was not uncommon in the family, yet Scott merely preferred land based sports.

USA - Sprudge Overview: “Being a barista is cool, sure, but it’s also an incredibly physical profession that takes a toll on your body. Being on your feet all day can lead to back problems, the potential for a slip and fall from wet floors is ever-present, and there are any number of machines (and their many surfaces) pumping out boiling-tonear-boiling water to leave all manner of fun shaped burn marks on your hands and arms.

It’s dangerous on that side of the counter.

Barista Technology Australia are leading the way for the reduction in injuries related to the activities of a barista: Barista Technology Australia one of Australia’s leading industry workflow specialists had an independant report compiled to address and assess manual tamping against automatic tamping and the report indicates some of the alarming figures outlined within a US report.

And a new report from AmTrust USA confirms just how dangerous the barista profession is. According to the report, coffee shops and cafes have the most time lost due to injury out of all restaurant types, and the leading cause of cafe-based injury? Barista Wrist.”

Industry profile The accommodation and food services industry accounted for 7 per cent of total employment in November 2017, with employment growing by 13 per cent over the five years to November 2017 (much higher than the overall employment growth of 8 per cent). Employment in the industry is projected to continue to grow at a higher rate than the average over the next five years, increasing by 11 per cent.

Aims of Assessment Program The aim of this study was to further identify and assess the factors that may increase the likelihood of developing musculoskeletal injury during manual tamping by baristas during the coffee making process.

The assessment involved the comparison between traditional manual tamping and use of the Puqpress machine by baristas. The objective was to assess the comparative musculoskeletal

Key WHS issues in the industry The leading cause of serious injuries are followed by muscular stress while lifting, carrying or putting down objects (14 per cent), and muscular stress while handling objects (11 per cent). #Getroasted | 2019

hazards and associated risk factors, and potential injury impact when using this machine during the same Barista tasks of tamping coffee.

repetitive motion injury, Barista Wrist is the result of tamping—the thing baristas do hundreds of times a day—using an unnatural, not ergonomic wrist position. According to the Restaurant Risk Report, Barista Wrist injuries are associated with an “average of 366 days to return to work,” almost three times that of the next largest class of injury, “struck or injured by” with 130.7 days.

Outcomes of Assessment Program The primary outcome of this assessment was to identify and reinforce the benefits of using the Puqpress in Barista tasks for reducing injury risks, worker fatigue and even potential for improved productivity and quality of the resultant final coffee.

To help reduce incidents of Barista Wrist, the report makes the following suggestions: work in a neutral posture, reduce excessive force, keep everything within easy reach, work at a proper counter height, reduce excessive motions, minimize pressure points, move, exercise, and stretch, and maintain an all-around comfortable environment.

Background Information The coffee industry is a rapidly growing industry with studies showing that in 50% of the population, equivalent to 150 million Americans, drink espresso, cappuccino, latte, or iced/cold coffees [2]. There is a substantial number of individuals now employed in this industry who are potentially at risk of developing lower back and upper extremity pain. A number of studies suggest that baristas are at a significant risk of injury [3].

Baristas who work preparing espresso-based coffees can make up to and in excess of 400 coffees per day, and although we may not think about the forces and stresses involved in these activities, many baristas complain of low back, shoulder and wrist pain as a result of the work they perform daily.

The particular step in the process that involves compressing the ground coffee into a porta filter (inserted into a group handle) prior to extracting the espresso shot of coffee is called tamping. This is one of the most crucial parts of the process that affects the end quality of the coffee. It is also reported by many baristas to be one of the most strenuous tasks in making an espresso-based coffee.

Conclusion The aim of this study was to assess and identify the factors that may increase the likelihood of developing musculoskeletal injury during manual tamping by baristas. This involved the comparison between manual tamping and use of the Puqpress by baristas.

The results of this study have reinforced the benefits of using the Puqpress in barista tasks for reducing worker fatigue and injury risks.

Through automating the tamping process, Puqpress replaces manual tamping. This achieves the most effective control measure by eliminating the hazardous manual handling task involved in manual tamping, and the associated risks.

Due to the scope of the activity it should not be assumed that all safety measures are covered. Additional measures may be required in particular areas or for exceptional conditions or circumstances.

Injury frequency and risks A recent risk assessment report ‘Upper Limb Injuries in Baristas’ [1] states that a number of papers over the last 5 years show some alarming statistics including: •73% of baristas experience low back pain •68% of baristas experience shoulder pain.

With an established international base, Tavalon is positioned to become the leading high-end global tea company, providing premium teas and tea-related products to tea connoisseurs and novices alike.�

Our mission at Tavalon is to create the best tea blends the world has ever known and to deliver the luxurious experience of tea drinking to suit the Australian palate. For too long, tea has played a minimal role in Australia, overshadowed by the seemingly ubiquitous coffee bean empire.

Our goal is to drive tea back into the beverage spotlight by presenting a fresh, new and exclusive tea offering, not only by creating the best tea blends the world has ever known, but also by altering these to cater specifically for the Australian palate.

OUR STORY There are few pleasures in life as simple as a cup of tea. The warmth envelops you and acts as an escape, even just for a moment, from the stresses of daily life. The humble cup of tea is not only a catalyst to relaxation; its daily consumption also has a plethora of benefits for your health, not to mention the traditions of tea and the many ways it brings people together socially - its magic is something that is hard to describe merely with words. Unfortunately, many people in Australia are not aware of the benefits of tea drinking and the simple joy it provides.

Upon this realisation, health-conscious and well-established businessperson, Matthew Youn, decided that it’s time to change this.

As an avid tea drinker, Matthew has always known and observed the benefits of drinking tea and was increasingly made aware of many people’s choices to drink coffee over tea, unaware of the benefits they were throwing away when making their beverage choice. So, Matthew decided to become an agent for change to start educating people about tea by supplying Australians with the best quality tea available. In his quest to find the world’s finest tea, there was no other comparable tea company to Tavalon Tea which is blended by an exclusive tea sommelier who travels all over the world to collect the finest ingredients from only boutique tea farms, procuring and hand-blending to elevate the everyday cup of tea to an exclusive experience.

WHOLESALE SUPPORT We will work one on one with you to understand the selection of tea and product range that is most suited for the success of your individual business.

INNOVATIVE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS.

Meeting today’s needs without compromising tomorrow’s

{

It’s safe to say that here in Australia we are completely head over heels for coffee. Lately, coffee has increased its hold over young consumers, particularly millennials.

Coffee’s increased popularity amongst this group is probably no real surprise given the pervasiveness of social media sites like Pinterest and Instagram. But what may surprise you is that new consumers are looking for unique and specialty coffee roasts – that has in turn inspired the local coffee scene to embrace new approaches. What’s more, there is a very obvious trend of consumers who are increasing their knowledge of coffee varieties, becoming more discerning and having higher expectations of their brew of choice.

The speciality coffee industry has seen significant developments in the last ten years, creating more competition, giving more importance to how coffee is sourced, served, but also how it is packaged.

The one-stop packaging shop Finding the right packaging partner like MPM Marketing Services for your branded packaging supply will free up your time to focus on coffee and make sourcing a seamless experience as your needs change in line with your business growth.

Proud of their Australian heritage, MPM Marketing Services have been at the heart of the packaging industry for nearly four decades. Challenged by a changing competitive landscape and a changing market, one of MPM key ingredients to success has been their ability to identify, understand coffee roasters’ needs, and create a complete packaging solution for them.

Learning from the best in the industry at Golden Bean, and visiting coffee roasters on-the-ground throughout Australia, it has become clear that packaging is an essential component of success within the wider ecosystem of a roasting business.

{

To help you make the right impression, we have outlined the top four forces shaping your packaging suite and the specialty coffee industry.

1. Custom branding – Coffee on your terms.

A disposable paper coffee cups seems simple enough, it’s a vessel you can use to serve customers with a delicious drink. However, when you start to examine coffee cups from a business perspective, you begin to realize their potential as a powerful promotional vehicle.

Building your brand and your story through packaging has never been easier with so many different options and printing capabilities available. Identifying a niche for your brand and maintaining consistency across all your packaging products will drive success in a competitive market.

An often-forgotten aspect of packaging is the printing process itself. The best results for brand representation can be found in the gravure and flexographic printing processes for coffee bags and coffee cups respectively. MPM has invested in a TrueColour™ print management system that utilises the latest technology to accurately match colours throughout the whole process from initial colour selection, to colour proofs, and final production. By sourcing all of your printed packaging from one supplier, you are assured of accurate printing and colour reproduction for your brand.

2. The way to your customers’ heart is through their stomach!

While coffee is your number one priority when you’re selecting the right packaging for your roastery or café, you might also 39

want to think about giving your customers the extra finger food or salad they need too. For instance, do you want your customers to be able to take their coffee away with them alongside their lunch? Will you be offering meal deals with an accompanying cold drink?

Many roasteries have invested in a combined roaster and café establishment, and this is where benefits can be gained through simplification in the supply chain. With a full product range including coffee bags, recyclable coffee cups, carry trays, and takeaway containers available for both the roastery and the café, MPM has enabled roasters to simplify their supply chain, ultimately resulting in reduced shipping and transportation costs.

3. Focus on convenience With many roasters offering a range of different blends, driven by single origin sourcing and the growing number of coffee aficionados, different coffee bags are required to suit different needs. The Castaway® coffee bag range includes these three types, below – available plain, or custom printed for greater brand exposure.

Simple side gusset coffee bags have proven to be the best seller among the wholesale market thanks to their efficient and practical design.

#Getroasted | 2019

Finally, remember that your food and beverage packaging should be as convenient for your customers as possible. This could mean: l Adding paper carry bags at the counter so it’s easy to carry l Making sure that there’s a lid available, to keep your customers’ coffee warm or so they don’t lose part of their food when they’re on the move. l Or choosing materials that don’t let the heat seep out, so your meals stay warm longer.

4. The trend in sustainability won’t slow down The foodservice industry is driving towards sustainability.

We’re living in an era where your customers aren’t just concerned with getting the tastiest products, or meals at the best price. Local roasters and consumers will continue to embrace a waste-free philosophy and make environmentally sound choices. There is a great opportunity to give your food production and distribution model an ethical overhaul.

Stand-up pouches feature resealable zippers for added convenience, they can be resealed quickly and easily (you only grind what is necessary for a cup).

But the box bottom coffee bags make a statement.

Sitting neatly on the shelves, they square up like boxes.

Made from sustainably sourced birchwood, Envirocutlery® is a great alternative to plastic disposables.

To satisfy this increasing demand, MPM is leading the way by adding the brand new Envirocutlery® (a range of compostable wooden cutlery), to their existing range of recyclable coffee cups, takeaway boxes, paper straws and sugarcane plates and bowls.

Sustainability talking points l Promote recycling by having recycling bins or designated plastic, cardboard and glass bins

Perfect for any occasion Camping

l Encourage reusable packaging when ordering stock for deliveries

Picnics

l Prepare what you anticipate you’ll need only

BBQs

l Control and limit drink and food ware wastage l Allow customers to bring their own containers

Parties

l Compliment these actions with signage letting customers know about what you’re doing

More and more businesses are doing their bit for a greener future and have already made the switch by ditching plastic disposables. The local specialty coffee scene is constantly evolving and it’s an exciting time to be in the food and beverage industry.

ditch cash, the better off they’ll be. Here are three reasons why this makes sense.

Starting a cafe in 2019?

Here’s why you should ditch cash...

Consumers don’t like cash A 2018 report released by Square highlights that 81 per cent of Australians now prefer cashless forms of payment, and one in three are actually card-only shoppers who no longer carry any cash at all. This consumer preference for card payments does not come as a surprise when you consider that the average Aussie is only carrying around $50 in their wallet at any moment.

So you’ve decided to venture out on your own and start a cafe this year. Congratulations on taking the plunge! Along with any monetary success you might achieve, being in business for yourself comes with great personal rewards.

Whether this is something you’ve been dreaming about for years or a recent idea that’s struck, you need to make a plan before you fully dive in. When you’re just starting out there are many steps to take and decisions to be made. For a hospitality business, a good place to start is doing your homework on the trends in your industry and ensuring you have everything in place to build a loyal customer base from the outset.

Even the recent removal of ATM fees by our big banks hasn’t seemed to sway consumers back towards cash, with the same research revealing 2.5 million Australians reported they hadn’t withdrawn money in at least four weeks, and a further 2.3 million stating they couldn’t remember the last time they even visited an ATM. Cash has a cost too One of the biggest myths that needs to be debunked in the business world is the very real cost of accepting cash payments. The time it takes business owners and staff to have cash ready for trading, prepare daily tills, handle cash transactions, reconcile books and deposit cash each day, can quickly add up.

Square recently released its annual Australian Coffee Report, for example, which revealed that for the first the time majority of Australians are now opting to pay for their coffees with card over cash, despite the low price tag. This makes choosing a point-of-sale system, and the types of payments you are going to accept, one of the most important business decisions you will make.

Australia is rapidly heading towards being a cashless society and the sooner businesses

For example, cash is anonymous, which is useful in some contexts but not when it comes to capturing all valuable customer data, such as spending habits or preferences that enable business owners to provide an improved or personalised purchase experience. Sure, if you’re using a decent point-of-sale system you can still record cash spending and hope that it’s manually entered correctly by your employees, but what about the customer profile? If gathering customer insights is important for your business, as it is many, then accepting cash becomes useless to you because it doesn’t generate this type of information without you manually chasing it.

This is a cost that SMB owners could instead be using to hire more staff, serve their customers better, diversify their product and service offering, or even invest in an integrated digital payments system that will refine their business processes and boost their bottom line.

Just like renting a business space or hiring employees, payments are a normal operational cost that should be accounted for — and that includes cash too. Many people think of cash as being cheaper and easier because there’s effectively no direct charge to them to accept it, therefore it must be free. This is simply not true, the fact is that cash has a very real cost to every business owner.

The fact is that digital payments are now a simpler, faster, safer and more intelligent way to pay and get paid. It won’t be long until we are saying farewell to cash for good. My advice is to make sure you’re ahead of the curve when that happens.

By Ben Pfisterer Ben Pfisterer, is the Australian Country Manager and Head of APAC for Square.

Cash is inefficient There are many benefits to gain from accepting cards or digital payments in your business, including speed of use; no double-handling; no recording errors; seamless integration to your banking and accounting software; plus a great record of customer data. These are all advantages that you lose when you’re dealing with cash.

Square, Inc. (NYSE:SQ) creates tools that help sellers start, run, and grow their businesses. Square enables sellers to accept card payments and also provides reporting and analytics, next-day settlement, and dispute management. Square’s free point-of-sale software and other business services help sellers manage inventory, locations, and employees; engage customers; and grow sales. Square was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Ireland, and the UK. 43

216 hours per year (that’s almost 29 working days) handling, counting and banking cash.

That’s a huge cost when we consider that the minimum wage for an Australian worker is just over $18, so we could say that managing cash is costing the Australian SMB sector a minimum of $8.7 billion in annual staff wages.

to the menu range. I have spent the last five years working in the almond milk sector of cafe beverages and have seen it grow globally into a 25-billion-dollar share of plant-based milks in hospitality.

When I get out of bed in the morning, I know in my mind not to plan too far ahead as the day’s outcome will always be different to what I imagined first thing.

This is so typical of how fast-moving trends and fashions develop.

I was asked five years ago to assist in launching Almond Breeze Barista Blend into the global coffee market. Almond Breeze Barista is part of the Blue Diamond family, based out of Northern California. Blue Diamond is a co-operative of 3,000 almond farmers that grow eighty percent of the world’s almonds - so they know the almond business and could see the strength of aligning with this strong growing coffee sector in cafes.

Blue Diamond contacted our consulting business via their co-packer in Australia - Freedom Foods, so we set out together to spread the almond milk benefits to every cafe in Australia and New Zealand. The success was amazing in the take up, and many people who were not happy with the choice of other plant-based milks in the cafe marketplace quickly chose Almond Breeze Barista Blend as their new dairy free cafe milk.

As a business consultant, I have learned to tackle my work processes differently from how I used to approach my job roles ten years earlier.

I have been very lucky to be at the forefront of the global coffee and cafe industry as a media producer and magazine owner. I have intently watched trends come and go. Some concepts stick, but many fade out as quickly as they appear. One trend that is not going away is health and lifestyle choices in the cafe and coffee industry. Consumers have accepted the cafe model and made room for it in their daily routine.

As part of this commitment, the consumer is now asking the cafe industry to provide more and more healthy choices. We are now seeing cafes catering for different lifestyles and offering new menu choices like vegan, low carb, gluten free and numerous dairy free choices, especially in the beverage range.

Since the start of the consulting project we have visited thousands of cafes around the world and have had the same reaction from people who are loving the taste of almond milk in their coffee.

I first thought when we started the project that the target would be the lactose free market and we would only get people with dairy intolerance taking up this alternative milk. I was very wrong.

Many people drink almond milk for the health benefits - it is both low fat and low sugar.

In the hospitality market we have seen a big push away from sugar, as consumers became more health conscious and better educated as to what excessive amounts of sugar and over-indulging can do to your body. In the last five years we have

all seen two very concerning anti-sugar documentaries, one called “That Sugar Film” by Australian actor Damon Gameau, and the other called “Food Inc”, an American film looking at the effects of processed foods and highlighting high fructose corn syrup as a contributing factor to American health issues like heart disease and obesity. We have also seen the success of the health book “I Quit Sugar”, written by Australian Sarah Wilson, becoming one of the biggest selling diet books in 2013.

Most people are not sugar haters, they are simply being smarter about when and how they have their sugar intake. Cutting out sugar in coffee has become a social norm and people tend to save up their sugar fix for certain occasions, making them feel that it is a more special, indulgent event. Blue Diamond Almond Growers recognised these trends and set out with their food technologist to create the perfect almond milk that would taste great in coffee and be low in sugar, as well as steam well so baristas could still perform latte art, giving them pride in what they were serving.

Many plant-based milks split when heated, therefore they need stabilising additives so baristas can use them and replicate dairy milk. One of the major marketing tools Blue Diamond used to promote the cafe almond milk to baristas was hosting latte art competitions using Almond Breeze Barista Blend. The event grew over three years and is now named the Breezey Masters, which is the largest plant-based latte art competition in the world, with entries from the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and South Africa.

Almond Breeze Barista Blend continue to carry out cafe visits in 2019 throughout Australia and New Zealand, spreading the truth about the benefits of almond milk as a cafe beverage and the use of it in both hot and cold beverages. Almond Breeze Barista Blend will continue to focus on the low sugar levels that the base product has to offer, promoting that they are the lowest sugar alternative barista almond milk. I always tell the customer that you can easily add a sweetener to a beverage to suit the individual taste.

We hear every story around about almond milk service in cafes, as we have first handedly spoken to thousands of cafe owners and baristas. It’s great to have an opinion as it gives you some buy in and a back story to share with your customer. Please don’t think alternate beverages are a fad, this trend is growing and is here to stay.

The twelfth annual Golden Bean Australia/ New Zealand competition was held in its customary location, the scenic town of Port Macquarie in November 2018. Dozens of roasters from across the country descended on the town, with hundreds more submitting their beans for review in hopes of winning a category medal, or being named an overall champion of the conference.

We would like to extend our congratulations to everyone who won an award, and in particular to our overall winners!

Naturals coffee. The panel found it to be a stunning combination of wild and fruity flavours with sensational aromatics off the grinder.

A spokesperson for the company said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have been the overall winners at this year’s Golden Bean Awards. We were up against some very tough competition and feel truly humbled that our coffee was so highly esteemed amongst the experts.”

It was up to expert coffee roaster Andy Freeman to accept the award on behalf of Coffee Snobs, an accolade that will help consecrate the company as one of the best coffee roasters in Australia.

Indeed, the Golden Bean is one of the largest coffee roaster competitions in the world and runs events in Australia and the USA every year.

“Overall, our Golden Bean experience has been a real blast and we hope that it encourages people to try out some of the Coffee Snobs range. Our highly commended Ethiopian Sidamo Ardi coffee is a great place to start!”

The idea behind the awards is to discover and champion the best-tasting coffees in the country across a number of different categories. This year, the Australian arm of the competition was judged by 80 knowledgeable industry experts in Port Macquarie New South Wales between Wednesday 21 November and Saturday 24 November.

Andy Freeman - Coffee Snobs

The decision-making process was clearly a tough one, with around 1,400 entries for the judges to try. Fortunately for Coffee Snobs, ten of their coffees were awarded medals and points across the categories, which included espresso, milk based and filter coffees. This meant that they had the highest combined score in the competition, beating some formidable rivals to triumph as the overall winner.

One of the judges’ stand-out offerings from Coffee Snobs was its Ethiopian Sidamo Ardi 51

iconic coffee brands like Stumptown, Boyd’s and Groundworks Coffee. This year over two hundred coffee roasters attended the four day conference/competition assisting the judging of the massive line up of submitted roasted coffees.

The Puqpress Golden Bean North America had close to 900 coffees entered in ten different categories. Black Oak Coffee of California took the winning stage again with Bonlife Coffee from Tennessee who both tied with equal scores. Two winners was a first for this event!

The Large Chain Overall category was taken out by Canterbury Coffee from Canada and the Small Chain Overall category was won for the third year by Klatch Coffee from Los Angeles. The USA chains and franchises make up 50% of the total cafe market, so winning in this part of the Puqpress Golden Bean is a huge achievement and a great marketing opportunity for winning franchises through this unique avenue to showcase quality coffees.

It was exciting to see Brett Bolwell from Barista Technology teaming up with Puqpress in Holland and setting up the North American distribution, using the prime position of Golden Bean sponsorship to get in front of 3000 national coffee roasters. Brett also spent several months visiting key coffee players in the USA to establish contacts and set up national distribution. The campaign was very successful with USA coffee tastes pushing towards better and higher quality espresso beverages. More espresso systems are springing up replacing drip coffee in many independent cafes.

Cafe Culture Magazine Research Director, David Parnham made his first debut in North America with the first event Pulse Roaster Survey and Report. He had a good result getting hundreds of surveys back in the first year.

Daniel White

Ask Daniel White, barista and roaster behind the Artisan’s Blend brand, where his love affair with coffee began and he starts by saying “Seven years ago”.

But on reflection, his passion for coffee started much earlier in life.

“I remember when I was about 8 years old my nonna and nonno would have a macchinetta every morning,” he recalls. “As soon as I heard the grinder – and that smell – I was hooked.

“They told me I couldn’t drink coffee until I was 13 but as soon as I did, I loved it from the very first sip!”

At age 20, Daniel started working at Coffee Craft and soon learned how to roast, picking up a few medals along the way. However, he says it was when he started working with well-known Adelaide chef Salvatore Pepe that he felt the confidence to invest in a roaster of his own. With Pepe’s encouragement and his restaurant as a regular customer, Daniel created Artisan’s Blend, a hand-crafted product that won him five medals at the Australia/New Zealand Golden Bean competition recently.

Daniel expanded his customers, taking on cafes at Hahndorf and Glenelg as well as a major project for Beaumont Tiles in their new Norwood studio.

He created a signature blend for the discerning owner of the company, trained all floor staff to be able to make coffee to a high standard and is looking to help the company expand the concept into other stores.

“It shows how much things have changed now,” says Daniel. “Companies understand that a good coffee can make a difference to how customers feel about an experience in their store and they are willing to invest in getting the best”.

Daniel is most proud of his Silver in the Espresso category, but due to a failure of the live stream of the judging, he didn’t discover he had won until two days after the event.

“I was in shock,” he says.

All Artisan’s Blend beans are sourced from Bennetts who have been in the business for a century.

“I’m super happy with both the quality of their beans and the service they offer,” says Daniel. “I mostly use beans from Central and South America and Africa and focus on micro lots because they have the characteristics I like, being grown at high altitude which develops unique flavours.”

Happily, Scott Bennett was inducted into the Golden Bean Hall of Fame on the same night Daniel took out his awards.

The judges awarded the Silver Medal for Daniel’s Nicaragua Jinotega Carlos Ferrey Natural, noting “Aromatics of boozy tropical fruit … notes of strawberries and peach, juicy blueberry acidity and dark chocolate with a long syrupy almond praline finish”.

Daniel is currently roasting about 56 to 70 kilograms per week and hopes to open his own shopfront some time in 2019 to make his blends available to a wider public.

coffee van. We purchased our Vintage Citroen H van in France before it was sent to England for a full restoration and then to Australia for complete fit out. Our LaMarzocco machine was beautifully customised by Specht Design and through a collaboration with Coopers Brewery a full beer system installed. Our van does large events, serves from the roastery and can be used as promotion and marketing for our trading partners.

We really do live in the lucky country and the fact we have arguably the best coffee in the world is a great bonus. Like Australian winemakers, our coffee industry took a great product and propelled it forward through innovation and without the constraints of deep seated traditions. Boutique and specialty roasters have played a huge role in the research and development of coffee.

At Underground Coffee we want to share this journey with our cafes and partners, bringing their customers along the way. From offering a great flat white to filter, pour over, cold brew, nitro and with every coffee making contraption on the market. While coffee roasting can be a highly complex chain of chemical reactions and our methods of extraction can look like Pythagoras, we must remember coffee should be fun and we are here to give our customers a fantastic experience.

While we are a small but energetic team, Underground Coffee has a full range of services, equipment and training for our comrades. With a number of blends and single origin coffees our spy range is broad enough to satisfy any palate.

We look forward to working with other passionate coffee lovers.

To get a brief glimpse of what we do have a look at the video on our website.

There are different brewing methods in making black coffee, such as V60, chemex, aeropress, and siphon to name a few.

These techniques involve water, filter, ground coffee and some equipment. It is easy to make, but takes time to master the brew.

None is as convenient and mess proof as the drip coffee bag, where you can literally take your coffee with you and brew whilst mid-air on a plane, camping, working late in the office, or entertaining at home (yes, we’ve tested all these scenarios).

Gordon Lam, Founder of Maven’s Brew

All you need is hot water The process is simple. Tear open the top of the drip coffee filter bag, slip the handles over the edge of your cup, and pour hot water into the bag. Wait for the coffee to drip through the filter, then remove the bag and enjoy your brew.

Put simply, it’s almost like a mini version of a V60.

Not settling for so-so coffee Most drip coffee bags on the market are using dark roasted commercial grade coffee. They are either too burnt, bitter or unpleasantly sour.

barista. He then gained experience as a green bean broker, and eventually moved into R&D and Quality Assurance for a coffee manufacturer.

The Maven’s Brew drip coffee bags use only specialty grade coffee, and only Arabica beans.

Each bag contains 12 grams of ground coffee, with the grind size determined by a total dissolved solids (TDS) meter for the best flavour extraction.

Each batch of coffee we roast here at Crema is performed completely hands-on. Coupled with Cropster’s Roasting Intelligence software for logging, we run only the essential temperature probes and rely on the skills and senses of our craftsmen to produce the product that Perth and beyond knows and loves.

It is paramount to us to pursue ethically sourced, environmentally sustainable coffee. Going to origin and investing in long-term relationships with farmers adds value and insight by providing as much traceability as possible, as well as giving us access to the highest quality green beans available.

#Getroasted | 2019

For Crema to continually deliver award winning coffees, we need to work together with our contacts at origin to help them produce an outstanding green bean.

Since our inception, it has been a priority for us to improve our craft and supply the best available coffee to both cafes and the general public. A little bit of healthy rivalry, such as the Golden Bean Competition has enabled us to not only showcase our product, but also get an insight into how our product stacks up against the rest. Four medals in a variety of categories in the 2018 competition was encouraging to say the least. Our first entry was 2002 and we look forward to having another crack year after year.

It is our goal to educate and share our knowledge of the coffee industry with anyone that will listen. From barista training, to equipment sourcing, blend design and café consulting, we’ve got your back!

After all, it’s coffee chemistry.

Tucked away at the end of a side street, in an industrial precinct of the coast, houses one of Sunshine Coast’s oldest coffee roasters. Vincenza Coffee was established back in 1994 and developed its name around the coast, originally as a coffee distributer. With the ever-increasing trend of all things coffee, both locally and around the world, it was not long until we moved forward and threw our hands into creating blends of our own, through a contract roaster.

Over the years we managed to expand our range to eight different blends, ensuring that each coffee had its own identity and the highest quality. This gave the prospect of variety to our customers as well as the opportunity to appeal to a wider consumer base. It was not until 2017, where a long-time dream turned into reality for our managing director. This opportunity arose after the building next door came up for sale and the idea of expanding from a small crammed, shared workshop, into an open 700 sqm warehouse, was a chance that could not be passed up.

A modern yet uber-relaxed décor, eye-catching mural spanning the length of the car park and a cafe, polished concrete floors and warm timbers are all at home in what we call “The Concept”.

This one-stop destination displays the love for all things coffee, and more importantly good coffee. It consists of a boardroom space, a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, a purpose built barista training room, a soon to be barber and the master piece of the puzzle, Vincenza Coffee.

Along with a warehouse and retail space, we have

#Getroasted | 2019

also purchased ourselves a Diedrich roaster. With floor to ceiling glass doors, the cafe partakers’ view of this bad boy in action, is clear as day.

The grand opening of this “Coffee destination” was July 2nd and since then, our in-house roasting has been on the up. Using beans from all over the world, ensuring only the best quality, we have been creating new blends, perfecting our single origins and so far, our consumer base has loved them. Whipping up blends that are medal worthy in only 6 months, is more than we could have wished for. The basis of us entering this competition was to make sure we are on the right track. We have found our feet in our new home and now, we plan to knuckle down and make some of the best coffee you have ever tasted.

Beck and Call Coffee roasts in Albany. If you’ve never visited, it’s a small regional town on the south coast of Western Australia. We reckon the coastal conditions and cool climate makes it the perfect place to roast and drink plenty of coffee.

Being isolated - over 400km from the Perth coffee scene, we entered the 2018 Golden Bean to get some feedback on our roasts from industry experts.

We only roast specialty grade coffee and thought we may be lucky enough to pick up a medal but to actually win the gold in the Espresso – single origin category, blew our mind. On learning the result, the joy from our normally quiet head roaster, Kade, could be heard some blocks away!

That said, we thought the winning coffee from the Wolichu Wachu washing station in the Guji region of Ethiopia was pretty special. Its intense floral aromatics, sparkling acidity and stone fruit sweetness were outstanding.

Whilst we put on the polish, credit must really go to the many small hold growers in Ethiopia for producing a flawless coffee. We love the fact that all the specialty coffee we source can be traced back to where it was grown and is ethically traded. Our only regret of course is that we didn’t purchase more of the winning lot!

Credit and thanks also to the Golden Bean judges who somehow managed to separate our coffee from the pack and select it as the best single origin in the competition. A bronze medal in the Espresso category for our Red Letter blend was also a great surprise.

Premiere coffee experts, Paradox Coffee Roasters have won 14 medals, including a gold medal for their Organic Purple Rain Espresso, at the 2018 Golden Bean Awards in late 2018. The awards were held in Port Macquarie and recognised coffee roasting businesses across Australia who roast coffee of superior quality and demonstrate a strong commitment to the coffee industry.

acidity, sweetness and uniqueness, we are honoured to have taken out the win,” says Nic.

With around 1,400 entries from all over Australia and New Zealand, National Sales Manager, Nic Naso says the Paradox Roasting team were beyond excited to learn their Purple Rain Organic Blend had won a gold medal.

“Our roastery in Sydney allows us to work even more closely with our wholesale customers in this market, providing branded coffee solutions and contract roasting. We have created a great space with our cupping lab, education and training facility and roastery for our wholesale customers to collaborate with our team and learn and grow in their coffee knowledge. Our plans are to build on this part of the business in 2019.”

In 2018, Paradox Coffee Roasters expanded their wholesale offering, establishing a state of the art roastery and cupping lab in Sydney in addition to their roastery, cupping lab and cafe on the Gold Coast.

“Our gold medal winner is a particular favourite with both our team and our customers for its tangy apricot and sweet chocolate almond profile. It’s sourced from international farms and cooperatives that contribute to the education, health and well-being of the farming communities in Tanzania, Nicaragua and Honduras from which it originates,” Nic says.

The Golden Bean Awards top off an already great year for Paradox Coffee Roasters, with their cafe located in Surfers Paradise voted by locals as Best Coffee on The Gold Coast .

Each of the 14 blends Paradox Coffee Roasters entered into the Golden Bean Awards underwent a vigorous judging panel who chose the winners based off a strict criteria and eligibility requirements.

LatitudeCoffee For just over 10 years Tiger Coffee has been operating as a coffee machine supplier and service provider for brands such as Thermoplan and Eversys. Tiger Coffee operates nationally in Australia and uses no sub-contractors.

Latitude Coffee has been formed in a bid to turn the Tiger Coffee Group into Australia’s leading total coffee solution as well as branch out into the specialty coffee world.

Latitude Coffee opened its founding roastery in May 2018 and, after only a month in production, the first bag of coffee was sold in June 2018. The following 5 months moved much faster than expected and after entering only 6 coffees into the Golden Bean competition, the company was awarded a gold - almost 5 months, to the day, after the first roast. Those 6 entries received either a gold, silver or bronze. These awards really validate Latitude as a positive addition to the Tiger Coffee Group.

A key goal for the Tiger Coffee Group is to target multi-site coffee operators and organisations with a specialty-coffee attention to detail but on a commercial scale. This creates a platform for Latitude to source and roast the best coffee available, in turn supplying cafes with a high end product at a more competitive price.

Following the award announcement, they were presented with a custom-made 22ct gold-plated bud logo, which is a large life-like replica of the logo that all consumers should look for on packs when choosing Organic products and merchandise.

Castle adds that the bud logo is a simple device that consumers must look for when seeking out organic product, “The bud is an assurance to consumers that when they’re picking up our green pack of coffee on a supermarket shelf, it’s not only freshly roasted, but it has the integrity of being properly certified.”

The dawn of a new era, commencing February 1st, the Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group is leveraging an established relationship and is joining forces with The Bean Alliance team in Melbourne. Since 2014, The Bean Alliance has proudly roasted in Melbourne the Goliath red brand Segafredo because the discerning Aussie market called for Australian expertise.

Bean Ground & Drunk is the first certified organic coffee in Australia, served in hipster cafes since 2003 (pre-dating trend by a decade), is on supermarket shelves across Australia, is quality roasted and packaged by established coffee roasters, The Bean Alliance. Located in the heart of Melbourne, they have also claimed back to back ‘Finalist’ titles in the Organic Awards for ‘Business of the Year.’ Furthermore, honouring the master roasters at the Golden Bean Awards, The Bean Alliance cleaned up on the day, taking home a staggering 24 roasting medals!

Ange Augello, Managing Director of The Bean Alliance says, “A merger of ideas, expertise and history, can only mean one thing – a great cup of coffee, and myself and the team will be leading the Asia-Pacific region from right here in Melbourne.”

The team will continue to deliver leadership in the ethical space, in marketing and roasting and to achieve the excellence in product and service that they are trusted and known for in Australia since 1981. The Bean Alliance will become Bean Alliance Group. A blend of two great companies is exciting for the whole coffee industry.

Established in 1981, they’ve made their mark in the coffee industry as the first ever Australian coffee roaster to roast certified organic coffee.

With almost 40 years of experience, they’ve continued to roast and package Bean Ground & Drunk certified organic and Fairtrade coffee as 85

Head Coffee Guy, David Mulé (pictured on pg 93) has been roasting coffee for over ten years after starting as a barista in the group’s first cafe in 1996. He cups every batch of coffee every day in order to highlight each bean’s unique characteristics, while striving to avoid any kind of roast defect that might possibly arrive from over roasting or under development.

After starting on a Diedrich IR24, he now roasts daily on a Giesen W60 from the company’s roasting facility near Fremantle, Western Australia.

David also heads the coffee training department, which ensures all baristas in all stores are extracting each of these coffees to their fullest potential.

The champion coffee at the Golden Bean Awards was the Ethiopia Mormora Natural, an ethically sourced, single origin heirloom coffee with flavour notes of toffee, strawberry jam, blood plum, raspberry candy and pink marshmallow.

Mormora is owned and managed by Haider Abamecha and his family. The farm is located just outside the town of Shakisso and sits at an elevation of 1,800–2,100m above sea level.

Coffee has been growing wild in this area for centuries.

collectively known as ‘Ethiopian Heirloom’.

All of these varieties are Arabica and most originate from a Typica predecessor, but with wild mutations that result in some exceptional and unique flavour profiles.

The champion title adds to Aroma Cafe’s extensive list of accolades, having won gold medals in past Golden Bean and RASV Australian International Coffee Award competitions.

Coffee is grown organically on the farm in beautiful, wild forest conditions where the loamy soil is fertile. The trees benefit from a mixture of natural shade plants, which—as well as protection from the sun—provide a rich source of leaves and debris which decompose on the forest floor.

The Golden Bean is the world’s largest coffee roaster’s competition and conference, running for 12 years with 10 award categories. Over 100 coffee roasters competed this year for the title of Golden Bean Champion.

This coffee is a mix of local varieties, including native coffees from forest origin that are #Getroasted | 2019

My first Golden Bean was in 2012 where I attended as a barista in the engine room.

Suffice to say, I learned more in that week than in 6 months back at the cafe. In 2018, when I was asked to captain the engine room, I saw it as an opportunity to provide the same learning experiences. I cannot speak highly enough of this year’s crew. We were given a very ambitious target to produce close to 1400 coffees for judging. The team dedicated themselves to perfection and speed, usually mutually exclusive concepts.

They did it with enthusiasm, professionalism and unparalleled attention to detail.

I hope that I have done the engine room legacy proud, as proud as I am of the team that occupied it this year.’’

“

[Peak Coffee Australia]

Having worked the engine room previously I thought I’d have a fair idea what to expect. This year, although much was familiar, it still had a fresh and exciting feel to it. As a roaster myself, it was especially comforting to see the respect and professionalism this team of baristas displayed as they brewed.”

Sarah Jin [Extraction Artisan Coffee]

“

The engine room is wild; it has the power to infect whoever comes in.

My blood rose to boiling point every time we started preparing coffee.

The teamwork, the responsibility, the professionalism, the intense aroma of coffee, the loud music, the laughter.

Being a part of the engine room was a truly unforgettable experience.”

I remember my first impression of the engine room!! It was like the inside of a watch: all the little parts working together to create the perfect end product. Although an intimidating responsibility at first, the support and energy of the whole team made it easier. It was an experience like no other!! Thanks to all the Cafe Culture crew for making me a part of that.”

With my focus now directed to Golden Bean Europe in 2019, this year’s team has set the bar high. They will be a tough act to follow.”

[Peak Coffee Australia]

For me every year in the Engine Room is getting better. It’s great having the chance to use cutting edge equipment and have the Sanremo team at hand to explain the ins and outs of their machines. We had a lot of interesting coffees come through and each one was a chance to learn and grow as a barista. I can’t wait to see what next year brings.”

TILLY. How excited are you about coming to the Pentair/ Everpure Golden Bean in Port Macquarie? Are you coming for our amazing coffee culture or to see our dangerous animals?

GREG. Words cannot express my excitement! I’m ready to dive into the Aussie specialty coffee scene and get my fill of flat whites, and given I’m absolutely petrified of spiders!

TILLY. How did you prep yourself for this event?

GREG. I’ve been doing sit-ups, push-ups and hitting the cross fit gyms daily. I use the theme song from ‘Rocky’ to get myself fired up in the mornings. I’ve also watched Crocodile Dundee twice in the past month, so feeling good to go!

TILLY. What do you want to do personally when you are in Australia?

GREG. I’d like to go surfing, avoid snakes, pet a koala and do the ‘Safety Dance’ TILLY. Who is your favourite Aussie band? Name two songs.

GREG. This is an unfair question, I have three. I got to work with Xavier Rudd and John Butler Trio, and those are two of my favs. Then, it goes to Angus and Julia Stone, love their sound. Power of Love and Paint It Black - I don’t think any of these Aussie artists perform them, but you said name two songs.

TILLY. How will your contribution help to make the Golden Bean another great event?

GREG. It’s a fantastic event, that every coffee roaster should take part in.

I’ll just try to not mess it up too much, and bring some funky dance moves to keep Steve entertained in the engine room. That’s my contribution.

Espresso Company Australia CC. How does your company directly benefit or contribute to the coffee roasting community?

ECA. Much like coffee roasters, we obsess over the details, so our customers don’t have to.

We know that roasters will put a lot of thought into the equipment they recommend to their customers. They can rest assured that Espresso Company Australia (ECA) is dedicated to making those choices easier by scouring the world to bring them the very best equipment solutions so they can confidently suggest great equipment to their many different accounts.

CC. What would you say are the major benefits of The Golden Bean Competition for the coffee roaster?

ECA. Entering a roasting competition is a great opportunity to test oneself against the best. However, the real gold is in turning up to participate in the judging (and, of course, the social events) at the Golden Bean. Over the course of the week you can slurp and spit with the best palates in the business and take the learnings back with you to apply to your business.

CC. How would you sum up your successes as a business for 2018, and what are your goals for 2019?

ECA. 2018 was an interesting year for ECA! We evaluated and restructured every aspect of the business. It was quite an intense 12 months of doing so and keeping up with ‘business as usual’.

The very encouraging success story that stands out was the market enthusiasm and uptake for the ANFIM SPII! Now, with a local ECA presence in Melbourne, we are looking to make 2019 a forward charge with ANFIM south of the border… if you don’t know Michael or ANFIM yet, you will soon. #Getroasted | 2019

CC. What advice would you give to the coffee roasting community for a prosperous 2019?

Talking to our customers we all know it’s a very competitive marketplace and like any competitive market you need to take any advantage you have. Sometimes that advantage comes in the simplest form of sincere personal relationships and communication with your customers to offer genuine helpful solutions. Make it hard for them to say yes to someone else.

CC. What are your thoughts on the advancements in coffee roasting from past practises to where the industry sits today and what you believe the future may hold?

ECA. Roasters will continue sourcing smaller and smaller lots; technology will continue its unstoppable charge forward, removing some of the human touch from the actual job of roasting; but the real story will be the connection to origin and doing justice to the hard work of the producer. Traceability initiatives will continue to be hot topics as will sustainability, and sourcing amazing flavours. That is where we come in.

Anfim for flavour. If you buy beautiful beans and roast them perfectly to highlight the flavours, then you need to back it up with the best equipment.

ICT. Many roasters are starting to experiment with new roasting techniques, and also new and unique coffees. The quality and range of coffees available now is so wide that it allows for greater experimentation, however we should still bear in mind what the customer wants. Satisfying market demands for how they want to drink their coffee will ultimately prove to be the most successful strategy.

specific resources to our roasters and cafe partners. Coupled with a renewed focus on our cafe partners to support them and the roasting partners in growing their collective successes, our goal is to continue to take away some of the pain points of the ups and downs of business.

SC Continue to innovate and shrug off the shackles of coffee pretention and elitism. We can be coffee professionals without dismissing the efforts of the new products and channels in market. An easy example is alternative milks – the first roaster to create and promote a specific roast profile/blend for plant based milks, lined up with a milk and black specific roast, will have a huge early adopter advantage into the fastest growing market segment globally.

CC What are your thoughts on the advancements in coffee roasting from past practises to where the industry sits today and what you believe the future may hold?

SC The diversification of business revenue streams for roasters – wholesale, retail (offsite and onsite), cold brew, RTD and alternative milk roast specific products will continue to be the defining factor of future success.

How was that experience?

Coming 2nd in the UK last year was probably the best moment I’ve had in coffee. My boss is pretty aggressive with his training methods, and never really showed any compassion until that moment.

When I won, he picked me up and carried me around, which was a bit of an experience for me, as I’m six foot tall. That was pretty amazing! I’ve always wanted to push what I can do in latte art, making patterns a little bit more complicated and better and better until it’s perfect.

Across BaristasforBaristas.com we’re speaking to the people who are leading the charge, and this month we spoke to Ben from Coffee Lab UK, who won a spot in last year’s Breezey Masters Grand Final.

Any tips for those starting out with latte art?

My favourite thing about being a latte artist is being able to produce something that interests people, especially if they wouldn’t normally be interested in it. For example, I used to work in a really small cafe in a remote area and the customers didn’t really care about specialist coffee or about latte art, but they were extremely interested in what I was doing. As I did more competitions they would come up to me and ask me how I was getting on. It’s quite a strange thing, the sort of connections you can make with people over coffee. Latte art is the closest way to connect with customers because it’s the first thing they see.

Start with Youtube and Instagram. I had a bit of a running start with who I was working with, but everyone taught me to look on Instagram and study the way people were doing things, how they pour, and how they try to be creative. For people starting out I would definitely say to look at what other people are doing. It can be terrifying at first, but it’s really helpful.

If your cafe had a sound, what would it be?

Noisy, with either old 80’s music or acoustic covers in the background. Basically, anything from George Ezra reminds me of the cafe.

How did you get involved in latte art to begin with?

Want to tell us what it is that gets you frothing? Drop us a line at @baristablendaus or BaristasforBaristas.com.

I wasn’t looking for a job, but I found myself at a job interview with the United Kingdom (UK) latte art champion, Dhan Tamang. He hired me and showed me how to do the art, and I found it quite entertaining. As I got into latte art, I started to become obsessed with it and wanted to be the best at it (which is hard when you’re working for the UK champion)! So far I’ve made 2nd place in the UK Latte Art Championships.

with Tilly Edwards During Golden Bean Australia/NZ, Tilly Edwards interviewed David King from Pentair Everpure, the official sponsor, about the importance of good quality water in the coffee industry. David explained that water not only affects the taste of coffee, but there is a need for each business to understand the chemistry of water, as dangers can be involved.

As water makes up 98% of espresso coffee, the quality of the water must be 100% accurate.

Because the coffee industry is starting to develop more of an understanding of high quality water, they are beginning to experiment with their own water recipes and this is where the industry needs to be aware of the dangers, as they are playing with chemistry. By changing the water components or quality yourself, you run the risk of not keeping the proper balance, and therefore unknowingly causing bigger problems, including taste.

The industry has been discussing the dangers of water for many years now but there still isn’t a full understanding of how important it really is, and as coffee is evolving each day, the water chemistry needs to evolve with it.

How can you improve your water quality?

Contact Pentair Everpure to find out which actions you can take to get the highest quality of water for your cafe or coffee business.

(02) 6658 5615 www.thehilltopstore.com.au A cafe situated in the coastal country town of Sawtell NSW. The Hilltop Store was originally a general store that was built in 1924 for the country coastal town and has now been turned into a high end cafe.

The cafe serves Single O coffee and has a wide range of locally sourced dishes. Cafe Culture International discovered this find as they were travelling along the coast and were delighted to be welcomed with great hospitality, food and coffee.

Image Source. www.instagram.com/thehilltopstore

The Hilltop Store chefs Carla and Richie were originally working side by side in multiple fine dining restaurants in Sydney when they decided to move back to Carla’s hometown Sawtell. Carla reconnected with old primary school friend Matt, ending in a late night conversation of opening a dream hospitality driven business. As the dream began to unfold Carla and Richie fell in love with the fresh local produce and were bringing their dream alive by creating a food destination with the Mid North Coast offerings of fresh food. As dishes were created with seasonal menus, it connected the community through the taste of locally sourced food.

As the Hilltop Store is driven by passion and friendship, every dish and cup of coffee feels like a welcoming present from the community and land. As the coastal country town grows, we see the Hilltop Store being a destination to visit while travelling up or down the coast of NSW.
