Nomad Coffee Group and its private label roasting division Black Bag Roasters have taken home top honours at the prestigious Golden Bean World Series, cementing their position among the world’s best coffee roasters.
Competing against leading roasters from across Australasia, The Americas and East Asia, Nomad Coffee Group was recognised in the highly competitive Large Chain/Retail/Franchise categories, a division that tests the ability to roast at significant scale while maintaining exceptional quality, consistency and flavour integrity.
The group was awarded a gold medal in the Large Chain/Retail/Franchise Espresso category for ALDI Luxe and a silver medal in the Large Chain/Retail/Franchise Milk category for ALDI Lazzio Medium.
The Golden Bean World Series represents the grand final of global coffee roasting competitions, bringing together previous gold, silver and bronze medallists from regional Golden Bean events across both hemispheres. It is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous and respected coffee competitions in the world.
“To be recognised at a world level in the Large Chain/Retail/Franchise categories is something we are incredibly proud of,” said Ben Romeril, Chief Commercial Officer Nomad Coffee Group.
“Roasting at scale while maintaining flavour integrity and consistency is no small feat. This recognition proves it can be done.”
The awards are a testament to the expertise and dedication of Nomad Coffee Group’s roasting, quality control and production teams, who work meticulously to ensure every batch meets exacting standards.
Nomad Coffee Group also acknowledged its long-standing partnership with ALDI Stores Australia, for whom Black Bag Roasters produces the award-winning ALDI Luxe and ALDI Lazzio Medium blends enjoyed by millions of Australians.
“Our partnership with ALDI Stores Australia is built on shared standards around quality, accessibility and consistency,” said Nomad Coffee Group CEP Craig Dickson.
“To see ALDI Luxe and ALDI Lazzio Medium recognised on a global stage is incredibly rewarding. It reinforces what is possible when strong retail partnerships are backed by world-class roasting expertise.”
