Archie Chiu

"Personally, I am constantly on the pursuit to learn, grow and push the boundaries within the coffee industry, however I also believe I have so much to learn from the Dalla Corte family."

Tell us something about you.

My name’s Archie. I was born in Taiwan but have lived in Melbourne for a few years now. I entered the world of coffee about 8 years ago, when I started working as barista. Nowadays, I work as Operations Manager at Code Black Coffee Roasters. Besides dealing with roasting and making the business grow, I am in charge of developing and promoting our coffee-shop, thus ensuring it is always on top.

What about your hobbies?

I love reading books, playing basketball and boxing.

A day without coffee...?

I’d have to drink tea – top quality tea, it goes without saying!

You’re good at...?

Making things happen!

What’s your favourite coffee spot?

My favourite place is my home – here, in the weekend mornings I can prepare a cup of coffee and have time to taste it.
