Michel’s Patisserie recognises the importance of coffee as an accompaniment to a slice of cake, and the growing coffee loving trend in Australia. In 1999, Michel's Espresso, the in-house coffee roasting and training facility, was born.

Michel’s Espresso has set the pace not only for the coffee franchising industry, but also for the coffee industry in Australia and beyond.

The unique blend of coffee beans used by Michel’s Espresso has brought us many compliments and industry accolades. Most recently, Michel’s Espresso won The Golden Bean’s Coffee Roaster Competition for the Best Espresso 2006. The Golden Bean is a national competition organised by Café Culture Magazine, putting fresh roasted coffee to the test.

The coffee beans used at Michel’s are unique, and unlike other roasters, Michel’s do not just buy their beans from Bean Brokers. Michel’s go direct to coffee farms in places like Brazil and India. This process allows Michel’s direct access to beans not available to other coffee houses. This is one of the secrets to why Michel’s offers superior tasting and award winning espresso.

The management and training staff at Michel’s Espresso are highly experienced and are recognised in the coffee industry as being leaders in the field. Our dedicated baristas who make great coffee at Michel’s stores all around the country, are trained at the Michel’s Espresso Academy. The Michel’s Espresso Academy is an in-house training facility whereby skills are taught in accordance to the world’s best practices using sophisticated equipment like the Spectrophotometer for precise and consistent roast flavour development.
