Coffee Mio Pty Ltd

Company Description

In the days before 'cafe society' in Australia, Mario Berra had asimple idea. Take nature's raw product, the humble coffee bean,and transform it into something enticing, aromatic and inviting.Today Coffee Mio Pty Ltd know this product as Coffee MIO, the epitome of coffeeroasting and blending finesse.  Back in the early 1960'showever, with cafe society being little more than a raggedgathering of 'new arrivals' coming together over a game of cardsand the occasional short black, Mario Berra, and later his brotherFranco, took a gamble and using a second-hand coal-burning roasterset out to redefine the term 'coffee' in Australia.Working from the back of a shed that was cramped with all theaccoutrements of a fledging cottage industry, the two brothers soldtheir product in hand-filled hessian sacks out of the back of a nottoo reliable van to sympathetic cafe owners. They managed to builda steady band of loyal clients looking for quality products. By the late 1960's Coffee MIO was established as a brand name inits own right, and now operates successfully out of Melbourne,Australia-wide and also exporting to various countries.
