About

Over a shared obsession for smart coffee, mission for quality and passion for premium products we founded Coffee Lab.

Our Story

Through decades of experience servicing hospitality outlets, we identified the opportunity to collaborate more closely with brand partners to deliver a customised and demystified service offering.


A global leader based in Melbourne Coffee Lab is unique. Driven by a next-gen approach to coffee roasting, Coffee Lab balances personalised service, the production of consistent high-quality coffee with a first-to-market innovative analytics platform.

It’s this strategy that allows our Coffee Lab clients to have access to tailored information about their order by batch.


Our customer promise is to deliver your branded coffee from conceptualisation to commercialisation with confidence.

 

We guarantee it’s your blend, your way, every time!
