Fiori Coffee wins Gold at the The CSR Golden Bean

Posted on December 10, 2009

Last year we managed to win the competition outright. This year we have won the only gold medal in WA, plus a silver and two bronze.

Out of over 700 entries from 330 coffee roasteries Australia wide our Kenyan Dorman AA topped the list in the ‘Filter’ category for the gold.  We received the silver medal for our Ethiopian Natural Harrar in the ‘Retail Filter’, Bronze for our Fiori Blend in the ‘Milk Based’ category and Bronze for our Organic Blend in the ‘Organic’ category.

We are very proud to have trained two young roasters to championship winning level using traditional equipment and artisan methods. It takes massive dedication and skill to roast on fully manual equipment but in turn they are now true craftsmen.

The medals this year were won by Dan Ainslie who has been with us for only one year. Dan has come from a hospitality background and has proven himself a natural roaster. Congratulations to him!

Fiori wins the 2008 Golden Bean

Posted on November 24, 2008

We are proud to announce that we have won the Equal Golden Bean Award. This year 120 coffee roasters from around Australia entered with over 500 submissions. We were fortunate enough to get a medal in all of the five categories we entered.

The main award goes to the roaster that has the highest combined point score in the two main categories of “Milk Based” and “Espresso”. This year that was us. Our “Espresso Blend” took a silver medal in the “Milk Based” category and our “Fiori Blend” took a bronze in the “Espresso” category. Incidentally, the South Australian Barista championships were also won this year using our “Fiori Blend”. These blends are our standard quality, off the shelf blends and not something made especially for a competition. We only have one quality.

All our winning submissions were roasted by Justin who made a choice to leave his career as a chef two years ago to come and work with us.  He has taken to roasting like a fish to water and made us particularly proud with his energy and passion.
