Bootleg Coffee Trader

Welcome to Bootleg Coffee Trader, located at Gulliver, Mooney Street, 76 in Australia. We are a cafe, establishment, food point of interest, restaurant, and store all rolled into one. Our institution offers a wide range of services and products, including wholesale specialty coffee, commercial espresso machines and grinders, barista training, and repairs and maintenance.

Bootleg Coffee Trader started in 2017 as Townsville's first eco-friendly coffee trike. This trike quickly became a favorite at local markets and events, thanks to its use of solar power and LP Gas to deliver mobile, high-quality, barista-made coffee. Since then, our founder Joe has expanded the business into one of the most reliable and customer-focused coffee wholesalers in Townsville and North Queensland.

With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Joe understands the importance of partnering with a reputable coffee supplier. That's why he works hard every day to provide our wholesale customers with high-quality coffee and equipment, as well as local, hands-on, reliable, and professional services.

In 2019, Joe sold the famous eco-friendly trike and established the Bootleg Coffee Trader Espresso Bar at the Mooney St shops. Our Espresso Bar serves amazing Tim Adams Specialty Coffee, a range of Tea Drop specialty teas, take-away sandwiches and treats, and a Saturday morning breakfast menu including waffles, smashed avo, and bacon and egg rolls.

We are proud to be the Australian distributors for La Marzocco espresso equipment and genuine parts. La Marzocco is known for its careful inspection and testing of machines upon arrival from Florence. Their experienced team provides expert advice, technical training, and after-sales support. They also host local events around the country to bring the coffee community together and provide product updates.

When it comes to grinders and coffee machines, we offer high-quality options from Wega café coffee machines and Mazzer grinders. Manufactured in Italy, these products have met the strictest quality standards and offer exceptional performance. As the Australian distributors for Wega and Mazzer, you can shop online with us for machines of all sizes.

Tim Adams, our Australian barista champion, has a deep passion for coffee. He has honed his barista skills and immersed himself in all aspects of the coffee-making and growing cycle. Tim has won numerous state, national, and international barista competitions, including the prestigious AASCA 2009 Australian Barista Champion title. He is widely recognized as a leader in the specialty coffee industry.
