Award Winning Coffee

We're award-winning coffee roasters.

We're proud to say Chiasso has been picking up medals on the international coffee circuit for years — and we're not done yet.

Our popular espresso café blend Milano has built up a trophy cabinet of its own, and we've had strong results across filter and immersion categories too. When the NZ Coffee Awards wound up, we turned our attention to major international competitions — and hit the ground running.

Our biggest moment came in 2018, when our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere won Gold Medal and the Champion Filter Coffee Trophy at the Australian International Coffee Awards, standing out among hundreds of entries from roasters around the world.

That same year, Milano and our Ethiopian Kochere both picked up Bronze medals at the Golden Bean Awards. Not a bad year.

We kept the momentum going in 2019, with our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere and Chelchele both medalling at AICA — Silver and Bronze respectively in the Immersion category. Another Bronze followed for Ethiopian Yirgacheffe at AICA in 2022, and most recently, a Bronze at the 2025 Golden Bean Awards for our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Gedeb Banko Taratu in the Pour Over Filter category.

Ethiopia keeps delivering the goods for us — and we're always on the hunt for the next great lot.
