Why serve Danes in your café?
To be straight up, we’re probably not the best ones to answer that...
Our café partners are.
Built for cafes at every stage – with extra support for new owners
Whether you are opening your first café, taking over an existing business, or refining an established operation, choosing the right coffee partner can make or break your success.
Many of our café partners come to us without years of coffee experience — and that’s okay. Our role is not just to supply great coffee, but to guide you through the decisions that matter most, from day one.
Exceptional coffee, every pour
If you’re looking for a wholesale coffee bean supplier with a reputation for innovation, a long history of roasting and personal service, we could be an unstoppable team.
We’re Australia’s most awarded coffee roaster, recognised for roasting coffee that’s loved by both industry professionals and everyday coffee drinkers.
Partner with us and serve your customers Australia’s highest calibre coffee — supported by systems and expertise designed to help your café stand out locally and build a loyal community of regulars who return for consistently delicious coffee.
There are a few other things you should know about choosing Danes as your wholesale coffee partner.
Coffee Machines & Equipment — tailored to your café
Partner with us to access the latest machines, brewing tools and coffee technology. Synesso, Rocket, La Marzocco, Sanremo, Anfim and Markibar are the crema of the crop, chosen to help your café serve full-flavoured coffee your customers love. These machines are proven to perform in busy cafés, making it easier to deliver consistently excellent coffee even if you’re new to the industry.
Because vibe and aesthetic are just as important as brew quality, we can also customise your machine to complement your café’s design and create a welcoming space your customers love.
For café owners looking to own their equipment, leverage our wholesale buying power and equipment financing network, making it easier to access premium machines with reduced strain on your cash flow.
Proactive support — backed by 24/7 service
Running a café means downtime is not an option.
As a Danes wholesale partner, you receive 24/7 technical support, backed by a proactive service model designed to prevent issues before they affect trade. Through regular check-ins, scheduled servicing and hands-on advice, we help minimise breakdowns, inconsistencies and disruption during service.
A key part of this approach is water management. Poor water quality is one of the leading causes of espresso machine failure and inconsistent coffee. Our support model is closely linked with the Danes Water Management Service, helping protect equipment, stabilise extraction and significantly reduce preventable machine problems over time.
Our support team has real café ownership and management experience, so you are backed by people who understand service pressure.
First class barista training
Exceptional coffee is one thing.
Being able to deliver it consistently, quickly and under pressure is what builds repeat customers.
Our barista training is designed for real cafés — not competitions. We focus on workflow, speed, consistency and reducing waste, helping teams perform during busy service while maintaining quality in every cup.
For new café owners, this means your team gets up to speed faster, mistakes are reduced, and your coffee offer stays consistent even as staff change. For experienced operators, it means refining systems and lifting standards across the bar.
Delivered through Danes Specialty Coffee Institute, our SCA-certified training gives you and your team the skills, confidence and practical know-how to serve excellent coffee, day after day.
Personalised partnerships that go beyond coffee
Every café is different — and so is every café owner’s level of experience.
We take the time to understand your goals, your local market and where you’re at in your café journey. From there, we tailor your coffee program, equipment, training and ongoing support to suit your business — not a one-size-fits-all model.
If you are opening your first café or taking over an existing business, we provide guidance through key early decisions such as equipment selection, menu structure, cup sizing and coffee pricing — helping you avoid common pitfalls that can impact profitability.
As your café grows, our partnership evolves with you, offering ongoing check-ins, training refreshers and practical advice to help you stay competitive in your local market.
Danes Water Management Service
Better Water. Better Coffee. Longer Machine Life.
The question is: do you have a water target? Espresso is over 90% water—yet many cafés overlook this major ingredient that impacts flavour, consistency, and equipment health.
Danes Water Management Service Programme helps coffee businesses take control of their water quality, ensuring better-tasting coffee, longer-lasting machines, and reduced equipment costs.
Through an on-site audit and precision testing at critical points—from the mains supply to group heads and boiler—we analyse key parameters like mineral content, pH stability, and chlorine levels.
With your custom Certificate of Measurements in hand, we develop a tailored optimisation plan that enhances flavour and protects equipment.
Designed specifically for high-heat coffee applications, our solutions go beyond basic filtration to deliver long-term consistency and performance.
