Home appliance manufacturer Breville is ramping up sales of beans to home baristas, in a bid to undercut supermarkets, which it accuses of stocking “stale” coffee products.
While the Sydney-headquartered company has profited from surging sales of espresso machines around the world, it told investors on Tuesday it was also recording strong interest in its bean platform, with per kilogram sales up more than 70% over the past year.
