Commercial Philosophy

Are you serious and passionate about preparing the best possible coffee?

In the past, having a coffee company’s logo plastered around your café, on barriers and umbrellas may have been beneficial. But now as Australian coffee consumers become more savvy, coffee company logos and merchandise are often turning customers away.

Why?

Because a bad coffee experience from another café, that uses the same coffee as yours, can mean a potential customer bypasses you and never discovers that you have the best food, customer service and baristas in your suburb, street or town!

As a result of this trend towards boutique specialty coffee we custom roast and label your coffee with your business name or logo. We also roast on demand. This means we don’t just dispatch any old coffee from our warehouse to you, we custom roast when you order, we vent, bag and dispatch your order so that you get the coffee at the optimum point. You don’t pre prepare coffee for your customers days, weeks or months in advance - so either do we.

Apart from the freshness of our coffee and the individuality of the packaging, what sets us apart is our background as professional full time baristas and trainers. We understand that the person making the coffee affects 50% of the end result so we can help ensure your staff achieve the best in grinder adjustment, consistent extraction as well as free pour milk and latte art techniques. Working with you we will set your café apart from others in your area.

When customers ask you where you get your coffee from you can tell them that you have your coffee custom roasted by an Australian owned and operated independent roaster especially for you!!

Oh, and we will save you money on training and on your price of coffee so you can buy barriers, umbrellas and other merchandise that advertises your business - not someone elses!

Welcome to Ideal Coffee

Ideal Coffee is an award winning business specialising in Coffee Roasting and Barista Training.  Ideal Coffee was established by two professional baristas with over 12 years collective experience who were tired of mass produced coffee.   

At Ideal Coffee we believe that any business that sells coffee can really benefit from a direct relationship with the coffee roaster.  It is this unique relationship that improves the quality of coffee produced and is setting cafe’s and restaurants apart from others that use the mass produced variety.

We have a number of specialty coffee blends for Wholesale and Retail customers to use.  We also have a Custom Roasting service for the Wholesale market.  We provide Training for both Wholesale and Retail customers. 

We are passionate about coffee - from the bean to the cup.  We took our passion for preparing consistently great cups of coffee and applied it to roasting great coffee.  The result is exciting, flavoursome coffee blends that are ready for you to enjoy.
