Vietnamese Coffee, Roasted in Melbourne — Where Culture Meets Craft
A Journey from Vietnam’s Highlands to Melbourne’s Coffee Capital
At Best Bean Best Cup, our story begins thousands of kilometres away, in the misty highlands of Vietnam — a country that lives and breathes coffee.
From the volcanic soils of Dak Lak and Lam Dong to the cool mountain air of Son La, every coffee cherry is grown with care by local farmers whose families have cultivated coffee for generations.
Vietnam is the second-largest coffee producer in the world, and its coffee is famous for its bold, chocolatey flavours and smooth intensity. But when those same beans are roasted in Melbourne, something magical happens — the warmth of Vietnamese heritage meets the precision of Melbourne’s specialty coffee scene.
Roasted in Melbourne with Passion and Precision
Once our green beans arrive in Australia, they’re roasted locally on our Giesen W6A — a high-end 6 kg roaster that allows total control over every roast curve.
This is where tradition meets technology. We carefully fine-tune each batch to highlight the bean’s natural sweetness, nutty undertones, and smooth body while preserving that signature Vietnamese boldness.
Roasting in small batches means we can ensure freshness, consistency, and quality — because great coffee shouldn’t travel months before it reaches your cup. Each roast is monitored, logged, and cupped until it meets the Best Bean Best Cup standard.
Why Vietnamese Coffee Is Different
Most of the world’s coffee is made from Arabica beans — known for their floral and fruity notes. But Vietnamese coffee is often crafted from Robusta, a variety richer in caffeine, with lower acidity and a full-bodied texture.
Robusta beans deliver a stronger, creamier, and more intense flavour, making them ideal for espresso and milk-based drinks. They also produce a thicker crema and a deep chocolate finish that lingers on the palate.
At Best Bean Best Cup, we roast Vietnamese Robusta and Arabica blends to highlight what each does best — Arabica adds complexity and aroma, while Robusta brings depth, crema, and strength.
Whether you prefer your coffee phin-style (traditional Vietnamese drip), espresso, or iced with condensed milk, our beans deliver the authentic taste that defines Vietnamese coffee culture.
Our Signature Coffee: No.72 BOLD
Meet No.72 BOLD — our flagship Vietnamese coffee, roasted right here in Melbourne.
It’s a 100% premium Robusta sourced from Vietnam’s highlands and roasted to perfection to bring out its signature character:
-
Taste: Dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and smooth caramel finish.
-
Body: Thick and creamy, with a long, rich aftertaste.
-
Use: Perfect for espresso, moka pot, cold brew, or Vietnamese phin filter.
For cafés, it’s an espresso blend that cuts beautifully through milk.
For home brewers, it’s the ultimate pick-me-up — strong, smooth, and satisfying.
No.72 BOLD is more than just coffee. It’s the connection between Vietnam’s farms and Melbourne’s coffee lovers, brought together in one cup.
Melbourne — The Perfect City to Roast Coffee
There’s no better place to roast coffee than Melbourne, the heart of Australia’s coffee culture.
The city’s obsession with quality coffee, latte art, and café culture makes it the ideal environment for a roaster like Best Bean Best Cup.
Roasting Vietnamese coffee in Melbourne allows us to bring something truly unique to the market — a fusion of heritage and innovation.
We don’t just import beans; we translate Vietnamese coffee culture into Melbourne’s modern specialty standards.
Every roast is done locally, meaning we control quality, ensure freshness, and maintain the direct connection from farm to cup.
Our roastery also acts as our café — where you can watch the roasting process, talk to our baristas, and experience coffee that’s alive with both Vietnamese character and Melbourne craftsmanship.
The Meaning Behind Best Bean Best Cup
Our name says it all.
We believe that great coffee starts with the best bean — ethically sourced, well-processed, and roasted with intention.
But that’s only half the story. The best cup happens when that bean is brewed with care — whether by a barista behind an espresso machine in Melbourne or by someone using a phin filter at home.
Our mission is to connect cultures through coffee, bringing Vietnam’s heritage to Australia’s specialty scene and showing that robusta coffee can be just as beautiful, complex, and enjoyable as any Arabica.
Sustainability and Relationships That Matter
We work directly with trusted partners and producers who share our values — sustainability, transparency, and respect for the people behind the beans.
By paying fair prices and supporting small farms, we help build a better future for coffee-growing communities in Vietnam.
Every bag we roast carries this promise — from the farmers who nurture the crop to the baristas who serve it.
How to Enjoy Vietnamese Coffee at Home
You don’t need to be in a café to enjoy Vietnamese coffee.
Here are a few ways to brew it at home:
☕ Phin Filter (Traditional Method) – Slow, rich, and cultural. Add condensed milk for the classic cà phê sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee).
⚡ Espresso Machine – Our No.72 BOLD makes a creamy, strong espresso with beautiful crema — ideal for flat whites or cappuccinos.
❄️ Cold Brew – A smooth, chocolatey drink that’s refreshing on hot Melbourne days.
Whichever way you brew, you’ll taste the soul of Vietnam and the craft of Melbourne in every sip.
