50 years of Coffee Excellence

Humble Beginnings

Coffex was founded in the late 1950s, in response to the shortage of quality espresso coffee beans in Melbourne at that time. The first Coffex beans were roasted in the first Coffex shop in Coburg, Victoria, using equipment which had to be especially imported from Europe. From these humble beginnings Coffex has grown to become one of Australia’s largest suppliers of premium ground coffee and beans.

A Reputation for Quality

As Coffex’s reputation for quality spread, the public demanded the same great taste in their homes as at their local Coffex cafe; Coffex was happy to oblige and today Coffex is sold at leading retailers all around the Asia-Pacific region.

La Cimbali Machinery

As a natural addition, Coffex has become the regional distributor for the world famous La Cimbali range of coffee machines and associated appliances for commercial and domestic use. To ensure that these machines are used to produce the perfect cup, Coffex provides training facilities in each state, where cafe staff can become baristas.

Tradition meets Technology

Today Coffex Coffee is owned and run by second-generation immigrants, with the same tradition and heritage of past years. With the new generation developing and embracing the latest technologies ensuring our customers the quality and consistency we are known for.

Internationally Recognised

With approximately 2,500 cafe customers being supported by over 90 staff members and 10 locations around the world, Coffex Coffee is now an internationally recognised company.

Remembering our roots

We believe our historical roots in shaping the coffee industry for Australians over 50 years ago are the key to understanding our future direction as innovators in product, and mavericks in business.
