Welcome to Nadine's Coffee Beans

The birthplace of the perfect cup!

Nadine’s Ebony Mist emerged in 2006 to display herself to the judges at the Sydney Royal Fine Foods Show.

The chairman of the Fine Food Show judges, Mr Grahame Latham said:

“This entry succeeded where some of the most significant master roasters in the industry haven’t been able to succeed.”

He goes on to describe Bill’s Gold medal win as historic, being the first ever gold medal award in the espresso class – all the more significant due to the judges making the points system even tougher this year.

Since 2004, master roaster, Bill Erickson, co-owner of Nadine’s Coffee Beans has been supplying customers with passionately roasted coffee beans, using only the finest quality beans from around the world.

The key to his achievement is quite simply the passion that he has in delivering proven perfection to our customers.

This is evident by the 18 medals he has won since 2004.

To maintain our commitment, Nadine’s Coffee Beans focuses on the basic principles which we believe are critical to our customers – Guaranteed Quality & Service.

Nadine’s Roasts & Blends

Nadine’s Coffee Beans is part of Loftus Pies in Kirrawee. A winner of several awards at The Royal Easter Show, Nadine’s is also known for the low prices it offers across its range of delicious blends.

Nadine’s roasts and blends coffee on the premises. Fresh from the roaster and starting from just $33 per kilo is the award-winning blend Ivory Coast (the most popular single-origin coffee) or the wickedly strong brew, Voodoo.

Other coffees include gold medal winner Ebony Mist and El Olivio, a single-origin bean with a smooth chocolate aftertaste.

To help you decide what’s to your liking, free coffee tastings are held every Saturday between 8am and 11am and you can snack on Loftus pies and cakes at the adjoining coffee shop.

With blends starting at just $33 per kilo available in your choice of grind, this is extremely good buying for such good quality and variety.

Judges applaud Australian coffee producers

12 March 2007 | by Rosemary Ryan
The judges at the Sydney Royal Coffee Competition have praised the standard of Australian coffee entered in this year’s competition, particularly in the espresso class.

Organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS), the 2007 received more than 207 entries from 57 producers across Australia.

The judges said that Australia now has some fierce contenders in the global coffee industry.

“The judges were extremely impressed with the espresso class in 2007,” said chairman of judges, Grahame Latham. “The standard improved greatly from previous years, with many espresso entrants paying closer attention to roasting detail and flavour profiles.”

Fine Food committee chair Lyndey Milan said the Sydney Royal Coffee Competition produced one champion, two gold, 19 silver and 45 bronze medals. “Which is a fantastic result,” Milan said. “Australian coffee producers have put in a tremendous effort, and the results are testament to this. We always aim to encourage and reward Australian coffee producers. The Sydney Royal Coffee Competition allows exhibitors to benchmark Australian grown coffee against imported beans, recognising Australia’s coffee producers as amongst the best in the world.”

Nadine’s Premium Coffee (Kirrawee NSW) the only gold medal winner in 2006, won one silver and four bronze medals.

Rainforest Alliance – Est 1987

The Rainforest Alliance is a system endowed with a rigorous set of international standards, focusing ecological management practices. It requires: a minimum number of native forest trees per hectare; no depletion of virgin forests for coffee plantations; protection of wildlife and of natural resources; preservation of watersheds and soil; and gradual phasing-out of agro-chemicals for the implementation of biological controls. The program also emphasizes fair working conditions, adequate pay, access to proper housing and sanitation, and respect for workers.

It is the human factor that makes Daterra one of a kind. The company seeks to improve its employee’s life quality, to hone their talents and to promote the welfare of their families. Daterra’s workforce is of course free from child labor.

Quality and sustainability are our passion. Technology, research and attention to the environment during coffee production have led Daterra to be known as one of the best coffee producers in the world.

Daterra was Brazil’s first sustainable coffee farm. In 1999 Daterra became ISO 14001 certified and in 2003 became Rainforest Alliance certified, another first for Brazil.

Qualified and Committed to Fair Trade

We use only A-grade coffee beans from around the world to roast and blend our quality coffees.

We choose Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified beans and we are current members of Australian Coffee Traders Association.

Nadine’s Coffee Beans was created to satisfy the most demanding coffee lovers. It has special blends, roasted by demand with direct delivery to your home or office, very fresh with all the aromas and flavours preserved.

There is no minimum order and purchases can be made through internet or by phone.

The secret of an excellent cup of coffee lies not only in the quality of the green beans, but also in the freshness of the roasted beans.

Therefore, when they are recently roasted, the coffee beans have a more intense flavour and much more complex aroma.

Daterra coffee, from the Burgundy Collection is one of our most popular beans for blending and for our single origin line.
