Case study:
Coffee Presto
Coffee, Community & Clean Energy
Award-winning coffee roastery, delivering premium coffee solutions and leading the industry in environmentally sustainable initiatives.
Founded by North Queensland locals Luke and K-L, we believe that coffee positively impacts the community and that locals are best placed to ensure that every consumers coffee experience is the way they like it.
More than a coffee wholesaler, we are purveyors of locally roasted beans, quality local condiments and state-of-the-art coffee machines, all complemented by professional service and a strong focus on sustainability.
About Coffee Presto and their Environmental and Sustainability Initiatives
Coffee Presto collaborated closely with SuperGreen Solutions and Sureline Solar and Electrical to scope and install a solar system tailored to its electricity demands.
As a high consumer of electricity during peak sunlight hours and equipped with 3-phase power, Coffee Presto was able to install the maximum 39kW of photovoltaic panels on its roof. The system was financed over four years, with the resulting electrical savings covering the finance repayments. This arrangement ensures the solar system will be fully paid off within the loan term – an impressive payback period with no immediate impact on cash flow.
Provision has also been made for the future installation of battery storage to cover the minimal overnight electricity usage, such as for running refrigeration. This will be considered as Phase 2. Additionally, with solar power generated during the day, Coffee Presto now offers free EV charging to customers while visiting the premises.
Further sustainability initiatives are planned for implementation in the coming months, partly funded through Queensland’s Manufacturing Energy Efficiency Grant.
