Wholesale
Collection: Wholesale Coffee Beans for New Zealand Cafés
Serious coffee. Real support. 30 years of getting it right.
Running a great café is hard. The coffee should be the easy part.
You need espresso that arrives fresh, tastes consistent week after week, and holds up under pressure: different baristas, different machines, back-to-back flat whites on a Friday morning rush.
You also need people behind the coffee who actually know what they're doing. Not just a courier drop. Not a faceless supply chain. People who understand roasting, dialling in, equipment, training and the reality of running a hospitality business.
That's where Chiasso comes in.
We've been roasting coffee in New Zealand since 1997. We supply cafés, restaurants, workplaces and hospitality businesses across New Zealand with freshly roasted espresso blends, certified organic options, barista training, equipment and hands-on support that makes a genuine difference day to day.
We're independent, family-led and not chasing volume. We care about the coffee, the service and the long-term relationships behind it, and our customers can tell.

Fresh coffee, roasted properly
We've been refining our roasting since 1997.
That experience matters. It means understanding how different origins behave, how blends perform through milk, how roast profiles affect flavour and consistency, and how to produce coffee that tastes great day after day.
Every bag is roasted with care, packed fresh and supplied with a simple goal: to help your café serve coffee customers can trust.
Not just once, but every time.
Great coffee that works in your café
A wholesale blend has to do more than taste good in ideal conditions.
It has to perform all week, across different baristas, in flat whites, long blacks, takeaway cups and peak service. It needs to be forgiving enough for busy shifts, but still good enough to keep customers coming back.
Our core wholesale blends are built with that in mind:
Milano — Our award-winning all-rounder. Smooth, balanced and reliable, with enough body to work beautifully through milk. The blend most of our café customers build their menu around.
Metro — Bolder and punchier, built for cafés that want a stronger coffee presence in milk drinks.
Dolce — Fully BioGro certified organic. Rich and sweet, with excellent milk performance.
Pascolo — BioGro certified organic, with a lighter, more nuanced flavour profile.
Custom roasting — Want something built around your café, your brand or your flavour profile? We offer custom roasting for wholesale customers who want to own their coffee identity.
Certified organic options
For cafés wanting to offer organic coffee, we supply fully BioGro certified organic blends, and that certification matters.
It means the coffee is independently audited, tracked and handled properly from sourcing through to roasting and packing.
Dolce and Pascolo carry genuine BioGro certification, giving your customers confidence that the coffee is the real deal, not just loosely described as organic.
Training and support
Wholesale coffee doesn't stop at the bag.
We offer practical barista training for Chiasso wholesale customers, helping your team get the best from the coffee, grinder and machine.
That can include dialling in your recipe, improving extraction consistency, milk texturing, workflow, cleaning routines and quality control.
For new cafés, new staff or teams that need a reset, this makes a real difference. Great coffee needs the right beans, but it also needs the right setup and habits behind the machine.
Equipment and setup
Need help with machines, grinders or barista tools?
We can help you choose the right commercial espresso equipment for your space, volume and budget, then support you with setup, training and ongoing care.
The goal is simple: fresh coffee, served consistently, without unnecessary headaches.
What our customers say
"Our 2 cafes have been customers of Chiasso Coffee for 6 years plus and 5 years respectively, using very high volumes of coffee per week over 2 blends, Milano and Dolce. Over this period the Chiasso team have without exception provided consistently great coffee, equipment, service, training, support, maintenance and delivery. Nothing is a problem.
We value this consistency as it gives us confidence and certainty in one element, probably the most crucial element, of our café business. Our customers also value the consistency, as that is what they expect from a great coffee and café partnership.
The values and attitudes that Chiasso bring to their business ensure that you know from the outset that they are a family-run business, they care and will not let you down. Seriously good people, seriously good coffee!"
