King Carlos Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster in Hurstville, NSW that supplies cafés across QLD, VIC and NSW. Carlos started roasting in 2002 after about 20 years behind the counter, so the coffee that lands at your cafe was built by someone who has run the 8am rush himself, not just sold beans to it.
King Carlos roasts in Hurstville and pours through 80+ venues across the east coast. A cafe account gets espresso and milk-friendly blends dialled in for your machine, the choice of on-loan gear or a BYO discount, real barista training, and Tuesday to Thursday delivery with same-day backup when a big day catches you short. The easiest first step is a $40 sample pack.

Why cafés switch to King Carlos
Plenty of roasters can sell you beans. Fewer were built by someone who has stood on the other side of the machine. Carlos ran cafes for around two decades before King Carlos became a roastery, which is why the support that comes with the coffee tends to matter as much as the coffee itself.
On the cup, the work is judged rather than self-declared: King Carlos has earned 15+ medals across the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, Golden Bean Australasia and the Australian International Coffee Awards. On the floor, the difference shows up in the boring, important things, like the beans being right for your machine and someone answering the phone when a grinder plays up.

Want your own house blend?
If you would rather pour something that's yours and not on every other menu in the street, you can spec it yourself with the Build Your Own Blend tool. For a fully bespoke recipe roasted to your brief, that's contract roasting, and you can ask us about it when you start your supply deal.
Café wholesale FAQ
Do you supply wholesale coffee to cafés near me?
Most likely. King Carlos delivers to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, plus regional NSW, VIC and QLD, with service techs in all three states. If you're on the east coast, it's worth a conversation.
How do we get started?
Start with the $40 sample pack so you can taste the blends on your own machine before committing to anything. From there we set up your account, sort gear or a BYO discount, and lock in your delivery days.
How often do you deliver?
Weekly, on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. On high-demand days, if a rush leaves you short, there's same-day backup so you're not pulling shots on fumes.
Do you train our baristas?
Yes. Barista training is part of a cafe account, either on-site at your venue or at the roastery in Hurstville.
Can we get a custom house blend?
Yes. You can build one with the Build Your Own Blend tool, or for a fully custom recipe roasted to your brief, ask about contract roasting when you set up your supply deal.
