Company History & Operations
Origin: The idea began when a customer at James’s coffee truck suggested the combination.
Awards: The brand won first place in the Mr Chilli Beverage Awards shortly after launching in 2020.
Parent Brand: The company operates under the parent name Barrarister Coffee, a name that combines Sullivan’s love for barramundi fishing and being a barista.
Location: Their physical presence includes a coffee truck (https://chillicoffee.com.au/contact-chilli-coffee/) often found at festivals and a base in Burpengary, QLD.
Beyond coffee beans and grounds, they also sell chilli coffee syrups, chilli hot chocolate powder (D’Choc), and even promote recipes for using chilli coffee in savoury cooking.
We love to collaborate with local businesses and have achieved this with bars, breweries and bakeries.
