This week, our very own Paul Beraldo attended the launch of Melbourne Coffee Roasters: A History of Roasters by Dominic Pellegrino.
This beautifully presented hardback celebrates the rich and diverse history of Melbourne’s most respected coffee roasters, including the remarkable story of our founder, Paul Beraldo.
Paul and Shirley attended the launch on Tuesday and returned with a copy that our team has been eagerly exploring ever since.
The book tells the stories of Melbourne’s Post WWII founding roasters – their triumphs, struggles, trials and errors – as told by the roasters themselves. Managers, founders, roasters and staff from iconic brands, bringing unique perspectives to the history of coffee in Australia – particularly traditional, espresso-style coffee, as drunk traditionally by Italians.
This book honours the passion, dedication, and craftsmanship of many outstanding roasters, and we feel incredibly privileged to be included among such a distinguished group. It’s a true honour to see our history captured in something so meaningful and tangible.
