Inglewood Coffee Roasters, one of Australia’s fastest-growing specialty coffee brands, has taken a major step forward in scaling its operations with the installation of a Goglio G21 vertical form fill seal (VFFS) coffee packaging machine from Jet Technologies.
Following the installation, Inglewood Coffee Roasters said it saw fulfilment times immediately improve by 300 per cent, giving it the capacity to better support its growing wholesale and ecommerce channels.
Founded in 2017 by Julien Moussi and Cory Slater, Inglewood Coffee Roasters has expanded into one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing specialty roasters, now supplying more than 300 cafes and over 100,000 home customers across Australia.
Drawing on their years of cafe experience, Moussi and Slater set out to create a business that reflected their passion for specialty coffee and customer service, establishing Inglewood as a roaster committed to making premium coffee more accessible without compromising on quality.
According to the company, the G21 has enabled Inglewood to lower packaging costs by approximately 40 per cent through on-demand bag production, while automation has reduced labour costs by an estimated $7000 per week.
Inglewood said these efficiencies ensured production was able to keep pace with demand and positions the business for further growth.
“Our ecommerce platform was gaining really strong momentum, and we needed a way to deliver a high-quality product, while ensuring fast fulfilment,” said Cory Slater, COO, Inglewood Coffee Roasters.
“The G21 has given us that capability almost overnight. Moving away from hand-packed bags has also elevated the way customers perceive our product, allowing us to serve more customers with greater consistency.”
Jet Technologies, which has been supplying the G21 to roasters across Australia, has built its reputation on providing packaging equipment tailored to the coffee industry.
Specifically engineered for coffee, the G21 delivers precise dosing, reduced manual handling, and compatibility with recyclable packaging films.
“Inglewood’s story is a great example of how the G21 helps roasters scale quickly while maintaining quality and efficiency,” said Daniel Malki, general manager at Jet Technologies.
“By investing in the right technology, they’ve been able to meet rising demand, cut costs, and create a more resilient operation that’s ready for the future.”
As the specialty coffee market continues to evolve, Inglewood Coffee Roasters said it remains focused on sourcing exceptional coffees, strengthening its community of wholesale partners, and making premium coffee accessible to more Australians.
