Australiano is a new signature coffee from McCafé designed to treat resident coffee aficionados to a flavour combination of native Australian wattleseed, chai and McCafe’s locally-roasted coffee beans.
Launching today (25 May) and for a limited time, the Australiano can be served hot or iced.
“We are excited to give Aussie coffee lovers a brew they can proudly put their name to,” says McDonald’s Australia Group Brand Manager Lancy Huynh.
“Our expert baristas looked no further than our own backyard for a defining Aussie ingredient – native wattleseed – to create a deliciously unique coffee.”
Consumers will get the chance to try the Australiano for free, as McCafé takes to the road later this month on a 2000km journey from Melbourne up the Eastern Seaboard to the Sunshine State.
“Despite being a nation of coffee connoisseurs, we don’t have a coffee to call our own,” Ms Huynh said. “As a champion for Aussie coffee culture, McCafé wanted to right this wrong and craft a blend that Aussies can proudly put their name to.”
McCafé is a true Aussie success story, having first launched in the laneways of Melbourne back in 1993. “Today McCafé serves up more than 300 million cups of barista-made coffee and hot drinks in a year and one in every four cups of coffee sold in Australia every day is from a McCafé.”
The Australiano will be available in all McCafé restaurants nationally, via the MyMacca’s App and McDelivery for a limited time only.
