Aldi Australia wins coveted award for 30c daily staple: 'Can't get enough'

Aldi has won a major award for a kitchen staple that most of us rely on every day – coffee! Aldi Australia’s Lazzio beans, which are roasted by Melbourne-based Black Bag Roasters, have won the Overall Large Chain Champion category at the 2024 Golden Bean Australiasia Awards.

Lazzio coffee beans are the heroes we all need during this cost-of-living crisis, with a cup of coffee coming in at just $0.30, offering a little luxury for much less. The full range consists of 10 coffee blends and Lazzio won another 14 Golden Bean medals in various categories.

Black Bag Roasters have been supplying the award-winning coffee to Aldi exclusively, and over the past decade, they have increased coffee production from four tonnes a week in 2014 to 65 tonnes a week now.

What do Aldi shoppers say about Lazzio coffee?

So, what do Aldi shoppers have to say? As it turns out, many of them have raved about the coffee beans online, with one Facebook user and self-professed 'coffee snob' writing, "We buy the medium, the dark or the medium dark, rotate around.....I am a huge coffee snob and used to spend an absolute fortune on beans but we both love the Aldi ones."

"I use the medium roast love it people comment about the aroma when I make coffee," another said.

"I started buying the Aldi beans just lately, thought I’d give them a try for the great price," a third said. "Bought the dark beans. LOVE them, as good as the other expensive brands."

"I like the medium roast Lazzio. Once bought the dark one and found it bitter. Ended up mixing the 2 and the coffee was perfect," someone else suggested, with another agreeing, "Do half and half. The mix of the two beans is great."

"Massive coffee snob here, and the Lazzio medium and dark is a damn fine drop for the price," yet another said. "It ain’t Pablo and Rusty - but for a general purpose coffee it’ll save you a fortune. Better than most of the stuff I buy out."

"I’m a barista and I buy the dark roast beans. Such a great coffee and often better than I can buy out at a coffee shop," one connoisseur added.

"I am a total coffee snob have gone from St Ali and All Press beans both $60 per 1kg bag to the Aldi beans but the dark roast in the black bag," someone else shared. "They are the best!!"

Under 30c a cup

Daniel Quinlan, Buying Director at ALDI Australia, said of the major win: "Australia holds a reputation for having one of the world’s best coffees and we’re proud to deliver exquisite coffee to our customers in partnership with Black Bag Roasters.
