Grinders Coffee 4.49

Giancarlo Giusti and Rino Benassi founded Grinders® Coffee House discovering the secret to good coffee as well as the secret to success. Giancarlo and Rino wanted to bring the authentic taste of European coffee to Australia and the legend was born when they opened Grinders® Coffee House in Lygon Street, Carlton in 1962.

It was from this humble store that Giancarlo began developing his famous continental style coffee. After purchasing his famous large red grinder for just £1, Giancarlo started roasting, grinding and selling his own coffee beans from the back of his store.

By 1969, Giancarlo was supplying coffee to cafés throughout Melbourne – the coffee revolution had begun and was spreading fast.

Grinders® Coffee continues to grow with an ever evolving coffee market roasting in state-of-the-art facilities nearby in Fairfield.

And now, thankfully, Giancarlo and Rino’s dream has been realised due to their hard work and persistence. They started from a very humble beginning. They borrowed money from a friend to buy a roaster, and through their passion and dedication helped to make Grinders® Coffee what is it today - one of the premier coffee companies in Australia.
