The Aldi grocery item crowned Australia's best - as shoppers race to stock up before it sells out
Shoppers are going wild for Aldi 's Lazzio coffee after it was officially crowned the best coffee in Australia - again.
The budget supermarket's exclusive brew has taken out the prestigious Overall Champion - Large Chain category at the 2025 Golden Bean Australasia Awards, marking the sixth time in seven years that Aldi has earned the title.
Aldi's coffee aisle has become something of a battleground for loyal fans, with one shopper telling FEMAIL: 'I used to spend $6 a day at cafes, now I don't even miss them. Lazzio is genuinely that good.'
The budget supermarket chain's Buying Director Daniel Quinlan said the win reflects the supermarket's commitment to delivering quality across the board - from pantry staples to premium products.
'This win is a proud reflection of the consistent quality and value Aldi delivers to customers across their grocery shop, including the perfect beans for their morning brew,' he said.
Roasted locally in Melbourne, the popular Lazzio range offers shoppers a 'premium café experience at home' - without the café price tag.
'It's clear Aussies appreciate great coffee at a great price - and we're proud to deliver exactly that.'
Starting at just 18c per cup, the beans have become a household staple - and Aldi says they're roasting a staggering 75 tonnes of coffee each week to meet demand.
In addition to the top title, the Lazzio range scooped up eight more medals in the Large Chain-Store Espresso and Milk categories, cementing its status as the most awarded supermarket coffee in the country.
Several caffeine fans flocked online to share their love for the award-winning blend.
'Honestly, this stuff saved my bank account. It's strong, smooth, and never bitter,' a corporate worker said.
'This coffee got me through three newborns and two lockdowns - it deserves a medal!' a mum wrote.
'People always ask me where I get my beans and are shocked when I say Aldi. They think I'm joking!' one wrote.
'The dark roast is elite. If you know, you know,' an Aussie added.
The full Lazzio line-up includes everything from ground coffee to luxe blends and single origin beans from Brazil, Colombia, and soon, Guatemala and Ethiopia, with two new products landing on Wednesday, 23 July.
The new Lazzio Luxe Reserve Single Origin Guatemala and Ethiopia 500g varieties have already scooped Gold and Silver in their respective categories - before they've even hit shelves.
Here's what's currently available:
Lazzio Medium Coffee Beans 1kg - $19.99
