ALDI Australia’s exclusive range of Lazzio coffee has been crowned Overall Champion of the Large Chain category at the 2025 Golden Bean Australasia Awards.

This is the second consecutive year that ALDI has claimed the top spot in the category, and sixth time overall in the past seven years. From $0.18 per cup, ALDI’s award-winning Lazzio coffee beans – brewed by Black Bag Roasters – are promoted as offering “luxury for less”.  

The coffee range also scored eight other Golden Bean medals in the Large Chain-Store Espresso and Large Chain-Store Milk categories for 2025.

ALDI Australia Buying Director Daniel Quinlan says this win is a proud reflection of the consistent quality and value the retailer delivers to customers across their grocery shop.

“Roasted in Melbourne, our Lazzio coffee range brings a premium cafe experience home,” he says.

“It’s clear Aussies appreciate great coffee at a great price – and we’re proud to deliver exactly that.”

Black Bag Roasters Director of Sales Lance Brown says this is an amazing achievement to win this award for the sixth time.

“A huge thank you to ALDI for allowing us to do what we do best over our decade-long partnership,” he says.

“We truly believe ‘life’s way too short for bad coffee’ and we’re proud to create great-tasting coffee that Aussies can enjoy.”
