Big Friday Roast!


Grata Espresso Roast Floor
About 1/3 through....


Part of todays roast...nearly 1000 kg's of it!! Phew!!. Public holiday Wednesday (Bendigo Cup Day) threw a spanner in the works! We normally roast two to three times a week getting through 1.4 - 1.6t a week, bout the same again to do on Monday!!  ARRGGHHHH!!!

Fortunately, beautiful industrial equipment to work with makes it relatively easy.
Incredibly consistent results from our 40kg Vittoria Inter Commercial Industrial Hot Air Roaster, it gets through a lot of roasting quickly. Love it.

New Custom Coffees Retail Area

Grata Espresso HQ
Set to go. CCHQ in Mayfair Park Bendigo.

After a lot of planning and work over the past 12 months or so, finally our new Custom Coffees / Grata Espresso  / Nuova Caffe larger retail area is up and running. 

The domestic retail sector has always  formed a small but growing part of Custom Coffees overall customer base over the years, so together with the increasing demand online for our products, this expansion allows us to better cater for those growing markets and also importantly frees up valuable floor space in the factory area that we are fast running out of.  

Nine very dedicated CC staff work tirelessly to bring all our coffee partners around Australia the very best in Artisan Gourmet coffees, together with everything else our wholesale customers have come to expect and deliver  the superlative level of service they deserve.  

All at Custom Coffees look forward to seeing our domestic customers in our sparkling new retail area.  

Some teaser pictures below...
