Private label coffee roasting is a service where a coffee roaster (like Ublend®) produces high-quality coffee that’s packaged and branded under your own name and logo. It’s the perfect solution for cafés, restaurants, retailers, and hospitality venues who want to offer a unique, custom-branded coffee product — without needing to invest in roasting equipment or in-house expertise. With Ublend®, you get access to expert sourcing, blending, roasting, and packaging — all tailored to your brand, your style, and your customers.

We sure do - Equip Your Café for Success - Without the Upfront Cost ​ Alongside developing your custom coffee blend, we help you access the right commercial espresso equipment to match your café’s needs, pace, and personality. Setting up a café — or upgrading your current setup — comes with big decisions, especially when it comes to equipment. The right espresso machine, grinder, and milk system can make or break your coffee consistency and service flow. But premium equipment usually comes with a premium price tag. ​ At Ublend®, we believe great coffee shouldn’t come with barriers. That’s why we offer our Free-On-Loan Equipment Program — a smart, flexible solution that gives you access to the gear you need without the upfront cost. ​ Learn more

Creating your own custom coffee blend and brand isn’t just possible — it’s surprisingly cost-effective. At Ublend®, we roast fresh coffee weekly for over 100 cafés, restaurants, and hotels across Australia. We know what it takes to deliver standout quality at the right price — and regularly help cafés save between $2 and $7 per kilo compared to major brands. Just tell us your flavour preferences and your target price point — we’ll help you craft a blend and packaging solution that hits the mark without compromising on freshness, flavour, or presentation.

Let’s be honest — cutting costs the wrong way often means sacrificing quality, consistency, and support. At Ublend®, we deliver genuine value. That means high-quality green beans, precise roasting, smart automation, and real training — all at a price that makes sense for your café. Some coffee brands charge more simply because of legacy overheads, bloated marketing budgets, or retail markups — not because the coffee is better. In reality, you’re not getting more — you’re just paying more. Why our coffee costs less — without compromising on quality: You're not paying for a big brand name. We don’t charge café owners for the cost of building a national brand, celebrity endorsements, or expensive retail campaigns. You’re not subsidising our billboards or influencer partnerships — just paying for the coffee your customers love. High-quality green coffee only. We work with trusted importers and select coffees based on flavour, freshness, and consistency — not price. Every origin is cupped and approved in-house. No commercial-grade filler beans, ever. Precision Roasting = Less Waste. Our fully automated Brambati system ensures every roast is dialled in with consistency. That means fewer rejected batches, better flavour in the cup, and lower production costs that we pass on to you. Automated, Scalable Production From green bean cleaning to roasting, packing, and labelling, our facility is purpose-built for efficiency and scale. By investing in automation, we reduce reliance on large teams or manual processes — keeping costs down without ever compromising on quality. Direct-to-Café Model. You deal directly with us — the people who roast and pack your coffee — and that transparency helps us keep pricing honest. Private Label Done Right. We focus on helping you build your brand, not ours. You get expertly roasted coffee in your own custom-branded packaging, backed by real support and quality control — all without the markup of a legacy brand. When Others Say “Cheap,” We Say Smart. When competitors can’t match our value, they resort to calling us cheap. But the reality is simple: we offer a smarter, more efficient way to buy and serve great coffee. At Ublend®, we roast for over 100 cafés across Australia — providing consistent quality, fresh coffee, and genuine support. No inflated pricing. No marketing gimmicks. Just coffee that performs, batch after batch. With over 13 years of industry experience, we understand what cafés need: dependable quality, professional training, and transparent pricing. You're always welcome to visit our roastery and watch your coffee being roasted — because we believe in full transparency and stand behind every batch we produce. And if you'd like to hear directly from our customers, we’re more than happy to connect you with a café near you for firsthand feedback. Here’s what sets us apart: Consistent, high-quality coffee — roasted fresh Premium green beans — no filler, no compromise Comprehensive training and hands-on support Smarter pricing — without the brand tax We focus on quality, service, and long-term partnerships — and that’s something the big brands simply can’t replicate.

We control every step of the process — from sourcing green coffee to roasting and packing — to deliver consistent, high-quality results. Our green coffee supply is carefully selected from trusted producers, with every batch tested for bean size, weight, and colour consistency before roasting. Roasting is done using advanced, automated equipment to ensure repeatable results, and we regularly cup and quality-check every blend to maintain your flavour profile over time. Whether you’re using a ready-to-go blend or a custom roast, you can count on dependable quality in every batch.

Getting started is easy — you can place your first order from just 50kg, packed in standard 1kg bags. It’s the perfect entry point for cafés and retailers looking to launch their own brand. For custom packaging or capsules, we’ll guide you through the options and MOQs.

Blend Matching Service If you already have a coffee you love — whether it’s your current house blend or a competitor’s offering — we can closely replicate the flavour profile and create a blend that captures the same experience. How We Do It: Sample Evaluation: You send us a sample of your current blend (whole bean or ground). Flavour Profiling: Our roasting team cups and analyses the coffee to understand its body, aroma, acidity, and finish. Blend Recreation: Using our broad range of origins and roast profiles, we craft one or more blends that align with the taste and feel of your original. Feedback Loop: We send you samples to test, tweak if needed, and finalise the match. Why It Works: Our team roasts daily, with access to a wide range of origins and processing styles. We’ve matched blends for cafés, retailers, and even ex-franchise operators looking for continuity with a twist. We can replicate or elevate your existing blend to suit your evolving brand goals.

Nope — most of our customers don’t have any contract or commitment with us at all. We simply roast great coffee, deliver with consistency, and support our partners — and they keep coming back. We believe in earning your business with quality and service, not by locking you in. If you're taking part in our Free-On-Loan Equipment Program, there may be a few reasonable conditions around coffee volume and loan periods — just to make sure the setup works for both of us. But even then, we keep things flexible, transparent, and focused on helping your café succeed.

For cafés and restaurants: Absolutely — we're happy to provide complimentary samples so you can experience our coffee quality firsthand before committing. For other organisations, such as online startups, samples are charged — but the cost is fully credited towards your first order. For consumers, unfortunately, we don't offer samples.

Completely up to you. Many customers like having the origin of their coffee known and others want us to keep it confidential.

We source 100% Arabica coffees from a trusted network of importers, cooperatives, and producers around the world.

All incoming green coffee goes through a structured quality control process, using statistically valid random samples.

Ublend® works with a network of long-standing and trusted partners across the coffee supply chain. Our relationships include: Specialty importers in Australia and globally who provide access to traceable, ethically sourced coffees from top producing countries. Farmer cooperatives and exporters with whom we collaborate seasonally for microlots and single origin offerings. Direct trade connections in select regions, allowing us to purchase coffees with clear transparency around farm practices, pricing, and impact. Certified supply partners for organic, Rainforest Alliance, and sustainably managed coffees where required.

You’ve probably noticed it — coffee is getting more expensive. Here’s why: 1. Climate Challenges - Unpredictable weather, droughts, and frosts in key growing regions like Brazil and Colombia have affected harvests and reduced global supply. 2. Increased Demand - The world’s drinking more coffee than ever — especially premium arabica — which puts pressure on the already tight supply chain. 3. Rising Green Bean Prices - Raw (green) coffee prices have surged globally, especially for higher-quality beans. 4. Shipping Costs Are Up - Freight and logistics costs remain high, and delays in global shipping networks are pushing up overall delivery costs. 5. Currency Fluctuations - Because coffee is traded in U.S. dollars, a weaker Australian dollar means we pay more to bring it in. 6. Higher Labour Costs at Origin - Wages and production costs are rising in coffee-producing countries, especially where ethical sourcing and sustainability practices are in place. Despite these challenges, Ublend® works hard to keep your pricing fair, your coffee fresh, and your margins strong. That’s why so many cafés are making the switch.

Thinking About Selling Your Coffee Online? Whether you're a café owner expanding into e-commerce or launching a new online coffee business, it's a smart move — helping you build your brand, reach new customers, and create an additional revenue stream. At Ublend®, we make it easy to get started with custom-branded coffee, flexible pack sizes, and expert support. This guide covers the essentials, common challenges, and how we can support you from setup to sales. What Do I Need to Start an Online Coffee Brand? A brand name and logo A website or e-commerce platform Coffee supply (blend, DECAF, single origin, etc.) Packaging (bags or capsules) with your branding A grinder (if offering ground coffee) Shipping and logistics setup Basic marketing strategy (social media, SEO, paid ads) Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ): At Ublend, our MOQ is 50 kg — ideal for getting started without overcommitting stock. Blend Options: You can develop your own custom blend with our team, or choose from up to 15 proven, ready-to-go blends tailored for espresso, milk-based drinks, or filter brewing. Pricing: Purchase pricing for standard blends is driven by both the quantity ordered and the specific blend selected. We’ll work with you to find the best fit for your goals and budget. How Ublend® Helps: Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 50 kg Flexible formats: 1kg and 250g packaging Nespresso®-Compatible Capsules: 5 kg minimum = approx. 25 cartons (625 capsules) Grind Options: Whole bean or ground Packaging Options: Black or white foil bags with your logo Competitive Pricing: We offer quality coffee at pricing that supports strong retail margins Cost-Saving Tip: Most online retailers purchase in bulk and repackage into 250g bags themselves. This reduces costs and provides flexibility for different products. With a small bag sealer (under $100), you’ll be ready to go. Custom Branding: On both bags and capsule boxes Most startups use our bag printing service, where your logo and basic information are printed on the bag during packaging. Alternatively, we can supply plain bags, and you can apply your own labels or stickers. Once your brand grows, we can help you design and source pre-printed custom bags to elevate your retail presence. This is a reasonable investment of around $5,000 to $10,000, which includes design, set-up, and the supply of 2,000 to 4,000 bags depending on specifications. Grind On Demand (Recommended): We can grind for you, but in most cases, it’s best to grind fresh to suit each customer’s preferred brew method (espresso, filter, plunger, etc.). This not only keeps your coffee fresher but also reduces packaging complexity and inventory requirements. This is the norm for most small start-ups, as it gives you greater flexibility and control over each order. To do this effectively, we recommend investing in a quality commercial grinder with adjustable settings to ensure consistency across grind types. A reliable grinder suitable for small business use typically costs between $4,000 and $6,000, depending on the brand and features. Common Challenges: Managing multiple sizes/blends Predicting demand & grind types Stock & labelling Keeping coffee fresh Logistics & shipping Standing out in a competitive market Summary Launching your own online coffee brand is a fantastic opportunity to build a unique business and connect with a growing market of coffee lovers. Whether you're starting fresh or expanding your café offering, Ublend® makes the process simple with flexible options, expert support, and access to premium coffee. You can choose from up to 15 proven blends or develop your own, package it under your brand, and start selling online with confidence. From grinding guidance to custom packaging, we're here to support you at every stage. The coffees we produce typically retail between $50 and $80 per kilo, depending on the blend, format, and target audience. The market is very crowded and competitive, so it’s essential to invest wisely and build a strong, value-driven brand proposition. Make sure your business case supports this pricing — including planning for online advertising, SEO, packaging, and fulfilment.

Two drinks, one brew method—easy, smooth, and seriously popular. Cold brew coffee isn’t just a summer trend—it’s become a staple offering in cafés all year round. It’s smoother, less acidic, and naturally sweeter than hot-brewed coffee, making it a hit with customers. Want to take it a step further? Add nitrogen and you’ve got a show-stopping nitro cold brew that pours like a Guinness and drinks like silk. Best of all - With one simple brewing setup, you can offer both. The best coffee for cold brew is typically a medium to dark roast with a smooth, low-acid profile. Blends work best, offering balance and consistency, while single origins like Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala also perform well thanks to their chocolatey, nutty, or fruity notes. Flavour-wise, look for chocolate, caramel, nuts, and mild fruit — avoid high-acid coffees unless you want a brighter, niche style. Ublend® can help you choose or create the perfect cold brew blend for your café, whether you're after bold and rich or smooth and fruity. We supply custom cold brew coffee, ready-to-brew or ready-to-serve, all under your brand. Start With a Cold Brew Maker Whether you choose the iKegger Cold Brew Coffee Maker or the Toddy® system, both are perfect for café use—simple, efficient, and scalable. What you need: Coarse-ground coffee Filtered water iKegger Cold Brew Bucket or Toddy system Filter bags or reusable mesh filters Brew method: Combine ground coffee and water in a 1:5 to 1:8 ratio (by weight). Stir gently and let it steep for 12–24 hours in a cool space or fridge. Strain through a filter to remove all coffee grounds. Once brewed, you’ve got a rich cold brew concentrate you can use in two ways: Option 1: Classic Cold Brew Serve your cold brew as-is—clean, refreshing, and easy. How to serve: Dilute the concentrate 1:1 or 1:2 with cold filtered water. Serve over ice. Optional: Add milk, alt-milk, or syrup if requested. This version is great for fast service and customers who want a smooth, chilled coffee without bitterness. Option 2: Nitro Cold Brew For something a little more premium, inject your cold brew with nitrogen. It transforms the drink into a creamy, cascading experience—no milk required. What you need: iKegger Mini Keg System (5L or 10L) Nitrogen regulator + N2 gas bulbs or small cylinder iKegger 2.0 Stout Tap https://www.ikegger.com/products/cold-brew-coffee-maker-nitro-coffee-keg-package?variant=43540513980571 Infusion method Pour your brewed cold brew into the mini keg. Seal it and charge with nitrogen at around 30–40 PSI. Let it sit for a few hours to absorb the gas. Serve through a stout tap for that signature creamy head. Nitro cold brew looks and drinks like a craft beer—customers love the texture, the look, and the taste. It’s a smart way to expand your drink menu with minimal equipment and no ongoing complexity. Bonus Tip Use signage and tasting notes to promote both options. Cold brew and nitro cold brew aren’t just drinks—they’re conversation starters. Get your team behind it and it will sell itself.

When it comes to coffee, roast level matters. It shapes the flavour, aroma, and how well your brew pairs with milk. In Australia’s vibrant coffee scene, we favour balance, complexity, and a smooth finish—so knowing your roast types helps you choose the right blend for your customers or home setup. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common roast profiles used by Aussie roasters: Light Roast (205°C – New England) Light brown with high acidity and bright, fruity flavours. Perfect for black coffee lovers or filter brewers chasing complexity and clarity. Medium Roast (210°C – American) Light to medium brown, with mild sweetness and a balanced profile. Great for batch brew or pour-over—still vibrant, but with a little more body. Espresso Roast / City Roast (219°C) A classic Aussie espresso roast. Medium brown with a harmonious balance of sweetness, acidity, and body. Versatile for both black and lighter milk drinks. Medium-Dark Roast (225°C – Full City) Roasted just into the second crack. Rich, smooth, and strong enough to cut through milk. The go-to choice for cafés serving traditional milk-based coffees. Dark Roast (230°C – Vienna) Dark brown with a slight oily sheen. Bold, bittersweet, and low in acidity. Best suited for rich milk coffees or those who enjoy a strong, traditional espresso. At Ublend®, we work across all these roast profiles to match your brand’s taste goals—whether it’s a bright filter roast or a bold espresso blend that punches through milk. We’re here to help you find your signature style. Want to know which roast is right for your café or coffee brand? Let’s chat.

At Ublend®, roasting is where flavour comes alive — and we don’t leave it to chance. Using multiple Brambati roasters, each equipped with advanced computer-controlled roast profiling software, we turn high-grade green beans into perfectly consistent, flavour-rich coffee that’s tailored to your brand. What Is a Roast Curve? A roast curve is a temperature-over-time graph used during the roasting process. It tracks how heat is applied to the beans, capturing key stages like: Drying Phase (0–4 min). Beans lose their natural moisture. Even drying ensures the centre and surface roast uniformly, avoiding baked or scorched flavours. Maillard Reaction (4–8 min). This is where the magic happens — sugars and amino acids react, creating caramel notes, body, and aroma. It's the base of complexity in the cup. First Crack (~8–9 min). Beans pop as internal pressure rises. From here, development is key — roast too little, and it’s sour; too long, and it becomes flat or bitter. Development Phase. Post–first crack, the profile is shaped. This is where sweetness, body, and roast intensity come together. Ublend's Roasting System: Power + Precision We roast on multiple Brambati roasting systems, each fitted with sophisticated roast management software. This professional-grade setup lets us: Design and store roast curves for every blend, single origin, or customer profile Track temperature, rate-of-rise, and airflow in real time Adjust on the fly or replicate exact curves for total consistency Scale up easily — from 10 kg test batches to large-scale production These systems are trusted by some of the world’s most respected coffee brands — and now, by Ublend private label clients. Why Roast Curves Matter to You ? Whether you're starting your own brand or running a café, the benefits of roast profiling are real: Whether you're starting your own brand or running a café, the benefits of roast profiling are real: Flavour Accuracy.

Whether you're launching your first product or scaling your range, we use our Brambati roast systems and precision profiling tools to make sure your coffee tastes just right — every time. No guesswork. No flavour drift. Just expertly developed, consistently roasted coffee designed for your brand.

Let’s be honest — cutting costs the wrong way often means sacrificing quality, consistency, and support. At Ublend®, we deliver genuine value. That means high-quality green beans, precise roasting, smart automation, and real training — all at a price that makes sense for your café. Some coffee brands charge more simply because of legacy overheads, bloated marketing budgets, or retail markups — not because the coffee is better. In reality, you’re not getting more — you’re just paying more. Why our coffee costs less — without compromising on quality: You're not paying for a big brand name. We don’t charge café owners for the cost of building a national brand, celebrity endorsements, or expensive retail campaigns. You’re not subsidising our billboards or influencer partnerships — just paying for the coffee your customers love. High-quality green coffee only. We work with trusted importers and select coffees based on flavour, freshness, and consistency — not price. Every origin is cupped and approved in-house. No commercial-grade filler beans, ever. Precision Roasting = Less Waste. Our fully automated Brambati system ensures every roast is dialled in with consistency. That means fewer rejected batches, better flavour in the cup, and lower production costs that we pass on to you. Automated, Scalable Production From green bean cleaning to roasting, packing, and labelling, our facility is purpose-built for efficiency and scale. By investing in automation, we reduce reliance on large teams or manual processes — keeping costs down without ever compromising on quality. Direct-to-Café Model. You deal directly with us — the people who roast and pack your coffee — and that transparency helps us keep pricing honest. Private Label Done Right. We focus on helping you build your brand, not ours. You get expertly roasted coffee in your own custom-branded packaging, backed by real support and quality control — all without the markup of a legacy brand. When Others Say “Cheap,” We Say Smart. When competitors can’t match our value, they resort to calling us cheap. But the reality is simple: we offer a smarter, more efficient way to buy and serve great coffee. At Ublend®, we roast for over 100 cafés across Australia — providing consistent quality, fresh coffee, and genuine support. No inflated pricing. No marketing gimmicks. Just coffee that performs, batch after batch. With over 13 years of industry experience, we understand what cafés need: dependable quality, professional training, and transparent pricing. You're always welcome to visit our roastery and watch your coffee being roasted — because we believe in full transparency and stand behind every batch we produce. And if you'd like to hear directly from our customers, we’re more than happy to connect you with a café near you for firsthand feedback. Here’s what sets us apart: Consistent, high-quality coffee — roasted fresh Premium green beans — no filler, no compromise Comprehensive training and hands-on support Smarter pricing — without the brand tax We focus on quality, service, and long-term partnerships — and that’s something the big brands simply can’t replicate.

We source 100% Arabica coffees from a trusted network of importers, cooperatives, and producers around the world. Our offering includes specialty-grade lots (80+ SCA), mid-tier commercial coffees, certified organic or Rainforest Alliance options, and decaffeinated coffees. We select based on flavour potential, consistency, traceability, and alignment with your brand’s goals and budget.

Yes. We roast a rotating selection of batch-roasted single origins, updated weekly. These coffees are sourced seasonally and chosen for their distinctive flavour, processing method, and regional character. Ideal for cafés and brands looking to offer something unique or limited edition.

All incoming green coffee goes through a structured quality control process, using statistically valid random samples. We test for: Screen size and uniformity Colour and physical defects Moisture content Flavour (via sample roasting and cupping) Production suitability (with 15–30kg test roasts) Only coffees that pass all checks move into full-scale roasting.

Ublend® works with a network of long-standing and trusted partners across the coffee supply chain. Our relationships include: Specialty importers in Australia and globally who provide access to traceable, ethically sourced coffees from top producing countries. Farmer cooperatives and exporters with whom we collaborate seasonally for microlots and single origin offerings. Direct trade connections in select regions, allowing us to purchase coffees with clear transparency around farm practices, pricing, and impact. Certified supply partners for organic, Rainforest Alliance, and sustainably managed coffees where required. These relationships ensure consistency, access to fresh harvests, and alignment with our quality, ethical, and logistical standards. Whether it’s a long-term blend component or a one-off single origin, we rely on these partnerships to deliver coffee that’s reliable, traceable, and suited to your brand.

Strong relationships are essential to delivering consistent, high-quality coffee over time. At Ublend®, our long-term partnerships with importers, cooperatives, and producers allow us to: Access fresh, reliable coffees season after season We work with trusted partners who understand our standards and can provide continuity of flavour, quality, and supply — even as harvests and availability change. Secure better lot selection and priority access Because of established trust, we’re able to pre-book or sample early from high-quality lots, giving our clients access to standout coffees before they reach the open market. Maintain consistency in blends and production Repeatability is crucial for cafés and brands. Our sourcing relationships help us ensure the same coffees — or equivalent replacements — are available for consistent roasting and flavour delivery across every batch. Support ethical and sustainable practices Relationships built on transparency help us work with suppliers who reinvest in their communities, pay fair prices to growers, and prioritise long-term environmental sustainability. In short, strong relationships create reliability — and reliability builds trust in your brand, your coffee, and your customer experience.

Yes — and in many cases, we already have exactly what you need. We regularly work with over 15 high-quality origins across a diverse range of flavour profiles, processing methods, and growing regions. These coffees are sourced seasonally and consistently, allowing us to deliver reliable options for blends, single origins, espresso, filter, or capsule formats. If you’re trying to match an existing flavour profile or create something new, we’re confident we can meet your taste expectations with what we already source. If not, we can source specifically to your requirements — including particular origins, certifications (e.g. organic, Rainforest Alliance), price tiers, or processing styles. We’ll present tailored options, guide you through tasting and development, and ensure the final result fits your brand.

We focus on roasting coffees that we source ourselves. This ensures we can maintain full control over quality, consistency, and flavour — from green intake to final roast. By sourcing through our trusted network of importers and producers, we’re able to guarantee each coffee meets our standards for moisture, screen size, processing quality, and traceability. That said, it’s always worth a conversation to see if it makes good business sense for both of us. If you're looking to do something specific, we’re happy to explore the opportunity together. We also regularly work with over 15 high-quality origins, and can help you find a coffee that suits your goals, flavour profile, and budget.

You’ve probably noticed it — coffee is getting more expensive. Here’s why: 1. Climate Challenges - Unpredictable weather, droughts, and frosts in key growing regions like Brazil and Colombia have affected harvests and reduced global supply. 2. Increased Demand - The world’s drinking more coffee than ever — especially premium arabica — which puts pressure on the already tight supply chain. 3. Rising Green Bean Prices - Raw (green) coffee prices have surged globally, especially for higher-quality beans. 4. Shipping Costs Are Up - Freight and logistics costs remain high, and delays in global shipping networks are pushing up overall delivery costs. 5. Currency Fluctuations - Because coffee is traded in U.S. dollars, a weaker Australian dollar means we pay more to bring it in. 6. Higher Labour Costs at Origin - Wages and production costs are rising in coffee-producing countries, especially where ethical sourcing and sustainability practices are in place. Despite these challenges, Ublend® works hard to keep your pricing fair, your coffee fresh, and your margins strong. That’s why so many cafés are making the switch.
