About Us
The Coffee Cure and Jamour Coffee & Catering is owned by Jamour Enterprise Technologies Pty Ltd, a family owned and run company headed by Mark Gilmour. Mark comes from a Banking and PC Background, but way back before banking or being an IT Technician Mark had a love for food, service and quality. In his earlier days he had spent many a summer doing the lunch counter in a local milk bar then on to Alexanders restaurant that used to be in Gardenvale and then to Florentino`s in Bourke St back in the 1980's.
The passion Mark had for quality food and beverages didn't die and in the late 90`s very few Melbourne Cafes knew how to make a good coffee, in fact most didn't know how to even make a fair one. too bitter, too watery, you know the sort of coffee I mean.
Then by way of local and overseas experiences, Mark looked for the perfect Coffee Startups, Starbucks (back then only in the US) Gloria Jeans and here in Oz like Hudson's and Michel's, etc. The overseas options by and large didn't meet the expectations of Melbournes mature coffee market or used 'gimmicks' to lure a younger audience, most also required $200,000 - $400,000 start up capital to participate and that's a lot of coffee's you need to make to pay back the franchise / startup costs. Add to that the Royalties / Advertising Fees and the Shopping Centre Rent and the Staff and the Power and we haven`t even got to the cost of the Coffee and Milk yet.
Mark looked into some Mobile Coffee operations as well, which were usually expensive franchises working out the back of an inflexible fitted out van which were generally not suitable for indoor or more special / formal events, the type more suited to a daily coffee run. Other existing vans tended to use 'italian roasted' coffee which could sometimes be older than 6 months since being roasted or some operations used pre-ground coffee with little or no fresh crema on top and some even used instant espreso coffee powder to which they just added milk and often that milk was long life and not fresh.
There had to be a better way and that was to bring Fresh Quality Cafe style beverages to the Public where before they settled for substandard product at inflated prices.
Melbourne's mature coffee drinker market wants quality and serious coffee drinkers know that good coffee is a combination of Quality Product, Well Maintained Equipment and a trained Barista. Here at The Coffee Cure we aim to bring you the Ultimate Coffee Experience.
