A proud moment for the Nomad Coffee Group and our private label roasting brand, Black Bag Roasters taking home medals at the recent Golden Bean World Series held in Newcastle in February 2026.
What Is the Golden Bean World Series?
The Golden Bean World Series is one of the most prestigious roasting competitions and pits together previous gold, silver and bronze medallists from regional Golden Bean events across Australasia, The Americas and East Asia.
Our Results
We were entered in the Large Franchise categories and our team delivered two World Series medals:
• Gold Medal – Large Franchise Espresso: ALDI Luxe
• Silver Medal – Large Franchise Milk: ALDI Lazzio Medium
Roasting at scale while maintaining quality, consistency and flavour integrity is no small feat. These medals are proof that it can be done.
The People Behind the Medals
Results like these don’t happen without the people who obsess over the details every single day. Massive credit to our roasting, quality control and production teams. Their commitment to craft is what turns great green coffee into award-winning cups, time after time.
And to our partners at ALDI Stores Australia: thank you for trusting us to deliver for millions of cups across the country. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
Why It Matters
Putting a Gold and Silver medal winning coffee into the hands of everyday Australians accessible to everyone is something we're genuinely proud of. This is what we set out to do. And the Golden Bean World Series just told us we’re doing it right.
