Golden Bean Awards 2025 · Every Winner

The 2025 Golden Bean Awards judging week ran on the Gold Coast in September. Roasters from across Australia and New Zealand entered coffees in 11 categories, from Espresso and Pour Over/Filter through to Alternative Milk and Decaf. By the time the awards dinner finished, 20 Golds, 63 Silvers, and roughly 350 Bronzes had been pinned to the door.

Below is every medallist we've imported from the 2025 results. Where the roaster has a current deal, it's one click to their store.

A few names recur. O'GaBee & Co. Coffee Roastery took 4 Golds across multiple categories — the largest single-roaster haul of the year. DiBella Coffee, Coffee Mentality, and Bean Cartel each took 3 Golds. Sam Shih, head roaster at Espresso Club Australia, appears 32 times across the year — the most-named head roaster in the dataset.

Every single 2025 Gold winner had also won Gold in a previous year. No first-time Gold medallists. O'GaBee and Jasper Coffee both have three Gold-winning years on the board (2022, 2024, 2025). Bean Cartel, Jahnus, Glee Coffee Roasters, Coffee Mentality, and Espresso Club Australia all backed up their 2024 Golds with another in 2025.
