We are also the franchisor and intellectual property owner of Coffee Hit franchise systems, with 11 restaurants collectively operating throughout Australia. We operate Black Bag Roasters, a contract roaster focused on scalable coffee solutions for businesses with the utmost discretion and transparent pricing. Most recently, we extended our reach internationally, partnering with Flight Coffee who roast and supply sustainably traded coffee throughout New Zealand.
OUR BRANDS
VENEZIANO COFFEE ROASTERS
The Veneziano story started with two guys that knew there was a better way to do business in coffee. After 25 years experience in the industry, our founders, Rocky Veneziano and Craig Dickson blazed their own trail to find and share specialty coffee – and Veneziano Coffee Roasters was born.
Since setting up shop in 2000, our humble operation has grown into a team of coffee lovers who bring a wealth of experience (and a tonne of awards) to the table. But we’re so much more than just a bunch of fancy trophies and accreditations. From the way we meticulously source, roast and supply our coffee, to the care we take in teaching our courses – we’re driven by a burning desire to learn and grow… and share our experience with you. Simply put: we know the coffee business and we’re dedicated to growing yours.
COFFEE HIT
Founded by a group of Melbourne coffee enthusiasts, Coffee Hit began as an purely online offering. The idea at the time was to source the freshest, specialty grade coffee direct from farmers and make it accessible to coffee lovers all over Australia. And that mission remains today. Following our online success, we opened our first store in Melbourne in 2008, and we’ve since grown our network throughout Victoria and Queensland.
We’ve taken our vision of specialty coffee to suburbs far from Melbourne’s laneways and inner urban areas, creating warm and welcoming environments that people return to time and again, for the best specialty coffee experience. We’re community focused, a place where the barista knows your order and loves nothing more than sharing their coffee knowledge with you. We’re anything but pretentious – we’re the friendliest coffee snobs you’ll ever meet.
BLACK BAG ROASTERS
At Black Bag Roasters, we understand the value of offering speciality coffee solutions that can scale easily with your business needs. As a globally-respected commercial coffee specialist, we use our depth of experience to provide you with full service solutions – from speciality and large-scale commercial options, to packaging, warehousing and logistics consultation.
No matter the size of your order, the quality of our coffee is never compromised. We are the only contract roaster to utilise post-blending techniques, roasting each single origin individually before creating the final blend for you. Your business will have the support of our consultants throughout the entire process. Collaborating with Black Bag Roasters allows you to focus on running your business while we create your custom-made coffee. The palatal skills of our green bean buyers, roasters and farmers are utilised to produce the best product for your business. With decade of experience at your disposal and consistent operations all year round, we offer a fully managed product that you can trust.
FLIGHT COFFEE
Flight Coffee is a family of driven people that work together to produce amazing coffee whilst aiming to have the best possible impact on the industry and the lives it connects. Conceived in the most classic of Kiwi beds (a garage in a small town), former NZ barista champion and World Barista Championship finalist, Nick Clark, alongside mates Richard Corney, Matt Graylee, Trevor Bradley, and Ronak Patel are the team and brains behind Flight Coffee.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are committed to making consistent and continual changes about how we do business to improve everyday lives – whether that be direct impact at origin through our Sustainable Coffee Program (SCP) or implementing sustainable initiatives across the business, it is these decisions that are just as important as economic viability.
“We’ve been a leader in the coffee industry for over two decades now and recognise the opportunity to make a meaningful positive impact on the local communities with which we work with. It’s only by implementing these sustainable and socially responsible practices today, that future generations will be able to enjoy coffee tomorrow” – Craig Dickson, CEO Nomad Coffee Group
