Cirelli Coffee Roasting Co roasts and sells specialty coffee in-store and online.  Many of the cafes feature their own designer roasts, a unique feature rarely seen in many cafes’ delivering a point of difference in an ever competitive cafe market. Cirelli Coffee has a history of award winning coffee. 

Since starting-up in 2011, we have competed in three coffee Awards. The Golden Bean Awards the Australian International Coffee Awards and the Royal Adelaide Show Coffee Competition. All are highly regarded Australian Coffee Roasting Awards.

“It was never my intention to roast for awards but after a while I wondered how the coffee compared with Australia’s best. It’s always very nerve racking to be judged by our industry peers, including some of the most experienced coffee talent in the country.” Says Gianni

Golden Bean Awards

The Golden Bean Awards is possibly the biggest coffee roasting competition in Australia, and even the world. The competition itself features many of Australia’s well-known, specialty and boutique roasters all vying for medals in 12 or more different categories.

Cirelli Coffee won two awards in the Golden Bean Roaster Competition for Don Decaffienato (2014 and 2015).

 

 

Australian International Coffee Awards (AICA) organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria.

This was possibly one of the hardest competitions coming to Australia. The Australian International Coffee Awards (AICA) was organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria.

The AICA is the first and only international coffee roasting competition in Australia.  It receives 658 entries from 143 local and international coffee roasters in 2016. Award categories include Espresso, Milk Based Coffee, Filter Coffee and Syphon Coffee. The awards celebrate and promote coffee roasting excellence.

This was a unique opportunity to benchmark ourselves and to have our coffee assessed by a panel of 34 industry expert judges.
Cirelli Coffee entered only one blend and received a Bronze medal for its ‘El Presidente’ Blend.

‘El Presidente’ blend was a newly formulated blend designed for Café’s wanting a high quality coffee that was strong enough to cut through milk but also smooth enough to have as an espresso.
Uniquely roasted medium-dark in comparison to current movements Cirelli Coffee bucked the trends creating a clean, balanced cup of coffee.
