Cafe2U has become the first mobile coffee franchise in Australia to be recognised in the CSP Golden Bean Roasting Competition, taking out a bronze medal.

The Competition is the largest coffee roasting competition in the southern hemisphere and winners receive industry accolades as well as the right to brand their coffee retail packaging with the award logo.

Derek Black, managing director of Cafe2U, said the franchise’s success at the competition came as a pleasant surprise.

“Being a mobile business, Cafe2U needs to stand out in the eyes of the customer, this is why we have always been extremely passionate about the quality of our coffee blend. This is the first time that the Cafe2u Blend has been entered into a roasting competition, so it was fantastic to receive such high recognition from industry experts,” he said.
