MELBOURNE – Coffee Hit, a roaster and retailer of specialty grade coffee based in Melbourne, was awarded six medals across two categories for its coffee blends in the weekend’s Golden Bean Coffee Roaster Competition, recently held in Caloundra on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.. Coffee Hit was also bestowed the title of ‘Winner – Best Coffee Franchise/Chain Store Overall Golden Bean’.
“We are really thrilled at receiving these awards, particularly as we’re competing against the who’s who of Australian coffee roasting companies. And, it’s judged by our industry peers, including some of the most experienced coffee talent in the country”, said Coffee Hit general manager, Wayne Stoll.
An expanding chain of coffee stores, Coffee Hit roasts and sells specialty coffee in-store and online with many of the cafes featuring their own roastery, a unique feature not seen in other chains.
“Coffee Hit is all about emulating that specialty coffee experience, usually enjoyed in Melbourne’s inner city laneways or some obscure urban setting, meaning coffee lovers can appreciate it closer to home due to our growing number of locations”, he explains.
“Awards such as Golden Bean recognise our conscientious efforts to prepare and deliver some of the world’s best coffee available to our customers and at a very fair price”, says Wayne. Coffee Hit has won a number of roasting awards over the years including Golden Bean and Sydney Royal Fine Food Show.
