- SONY Australia -
Aaron Lucas - July 2009

For SMPTE 2009 Sony needed espresso coffee for our ‘Sony Sports Lounge’ that formed part of our large trade display. The starting point for our search was simple, we wanted excellent, consistent specialty coffee and a friendly service for our clients, international guests and staff. Michael and the Cafe in a Box team was recommended to us by another specialty coffee roaster and we couldn't’t be happier with the product and service provided.

On our first meeting with Michael, he showed us around his roasting facility and made a number of coffees for us to try. It was immediately clear that we had found the right business to partner with for the 2009 SMPTE Trade Show and Michael was a great help with sourcing and offering the additional items that we required to complete the coffee service for our ‘Sony Sports Lounge’.

The feedback from our clients, and never ending flow of people ordering coffee speaks volumes for how good the coffee is. We have had espresso coffee on our stand before, but nothing as good as what Michael and the team at Cafe in a Box delived. Michael’s passion for coffee flows to the other aspects of his business and results in a great product and service that we would happily book again.

Not to be forgotten, we found the pricing to be more than reasonable. Thanks again Michael, you and the team were an integral part of our trade display at SMPTE 2009 and we very much look forward to working with you again.

Monica Chang - December 2008

Cafe in a Box is the only portable coffee supplier that Infocus Design refers to when it is needed for our clients. In our industry it is important that we maintain a high level of standards and quality at all times, and we can definitely feel confident that Michael will not only represent his company well, but Infocus Design as well.

Michael has assisted Infocus Design in many Motorshow’s over the years, and he has helped out with countless shows nation wide, big or small!! There has never been a time when Cafe in a Box has not delivered, and we definitely feel like a top priority at all times. We can always depend on a cost effective quote, and his coffee along with many other hot beverages on offer always tastes fantastic. So thank you Michael for all your great service and incredible coffee, I definitely look forward to working with you in many more events to come.

Jason Smith - December 2007

We first saw the 'Cafe in a Box' concept on the Mazda stand at the 2007 Sydney Motor Show and were immediately taken aback, by both the level of service that was offered and the quality of the coffee that was being served. After trying the coffee and watching Michael Wilcock and his team in action, we made an 'Executive decision' and decided to commission Michael there and then to provide the coffee for our own rail industry trade show AusRAILPLUS 2007.

With hindsight, we believe that it was the right decision. The feedback from the show was very positive and was evidenced by the queues of people who waited for our hospitality area to open every morning across the three days of the show. We also received a lot of personal comments about Michael himself who became a very dedicated and committed member of our own 'Exhibition' team. Comments like 'Best coffee we have ever tasted' became routine, as were the sight of empty coffee areas on other exhibition stands.

I cannot speak more highly of the 'Cafe in a Box ' concept or Michael and his team who were consummate professionals. For anybody wanting to make an impact at an exhibition, or any other event for that matter, 'Cafe in a Box' is definitely the way to go.

Stuart Dobson - October 2010

I feel compelled to write to you after a successful conference where we were fortunate to have your wonderful employee, Leanne, attend at our exhibitor booth. Leanne did a stunning job not only making a perfect cup of coffee (remarkably remembering most candidates special preferences . . . . astonishing!), but also was a vibrant, warm, and friendly personality throughout the three-day event. We had many customers complimenting us on the concept and the wonderful Leanne. Her professionalism reflects directly on our company and we could not have been more impressed.

Congratulations to Leanne and your company – an idea we shall definitely consider at future events.

Scott Bayliss - February 2010

We at SITA were having a walk around of one of our new sites by 110 people and decided to provide the attendees with afternoon tea. Due to the number of attendees we decided to look for an outside party to attend our site and provide this service for our guests.

We contacted Michael of Cafe in a Box and found his attitude and response to our request first class. We booked Michael in for the event and again the service and quality of beverages supplied to our guests was faultless. I would recommend Cafe in a Box to anyone needing a similar service.

I was most impressed at your set up this morning and people have since remarked to me how delicious your coffee was
(I will hold you fully responsible if I develop an addiction to caramel lattes!)

Thank you for contributing to the success of our official opening this morning. I will most definitely be in touch should we have another event in the future and I will have no hesitation in recommending your service to others.

Michael has been a valued partner of the Mazda Motor Show Stand since 2006, always providing a high and consistent level of service across our circuit nationally. His coffees have become a famous focal point for our stand, with customers returning each year, specifically to enjoy yet another one of Michael’s famous creations. We look forward to having Michael return to our team for many more years to come.

Kirsten Durie - August 2008

We used the services of Cafe in a Box at a trade stand in Cairns earlier this year when I could not get a local business to supply coffee. Michael Wilcock was most obliging when I contacted him and explained how he operates etc. I was still a bit hesitant as I was not going to be at the event and not having used Cafe in a Box before. It turns out I had nothing to worry about as Michael was a huge success and superseded the expected amount of coffee made over the event which we were happy to honor because it was so good. Michael is very particular about what type and blend of coffee beans he uses and made sure the coffee was fresh and ready to go at every seminar break. We have been so impressed with this service, I have booked him for further events in 2009.

Cafe in a box did an outstanding job for our Biennial Convention. Michael and his staff were on time, professional and friendly. With a full range of coffee’s and a high quality of service I would have no hesitation in using them again. Our delegates loved having a barista at our event that served real great tasting coffee!!

Cassie Churcher - July 2008

Our agency was pitching on some new business and I needed a compact barista to make some coffees and impress the client. Cafe in a Box was too easy. It made a great impression on the client and our staff and we love his coffee.

We now have Michael who has come to be known as “our coffee guy”, in every month. I would recommend his service to anyone who loves a good coffee or wants to add something to their function or event and thanks again to Michael for his constant high level of service.
