Our coffee

We care a lot about our coffee.

People who know us recognize it regularly.

Stages in the process

Selection

The selection and purchase of the coffee is taken care of by Gian Luca Venturelli. Gian Luca personally tastes all the samples that reach the company, and often travels abroad to visit plantations and producers.
Transport

We are directly responsible for every stage of the transport of the raw material to our plants. Some varieties, such as the precious Jamaica Blue Mountain, travel in small wooden barrels, to best preserve their unmistakable aroma.
Blending

The individual varieties of coffee are blended in carefully worked-out proportions. Our blends are the result of years of passionate research by Gian Luca Venturelli, and are offered in various types to satisfy a range of individual tastes. Besides our blends we also offer particularly prestigious single-origin coffees (Jamaica Blue Mountain, for example).
Roasting

In processing our coffees we follow artisan practice: a gentle roasting which caresses the coffee. We obtain a product of the highest quality which is also extremely wholesome: the essential oils and aromas are protected and the beans as a result are well-developed and fragrant, with little residual moisture and a limited caffeine content.
Grinding

Grinding is a delicate phase, and of great importance for the final result. We grind the coffee with the best mills available in the world. We grind the coffee in the absence of oxygen and at low temperature, gently and delicately.
Packaging

To preserve the aromas for as long as possible, we are particularly careful about packaging our coffees, both those in pods and our coffee beans and ground coffees. Packaging is done in a protective atmosphere, with nitrogen being blown in to eliminate the oxygen and resist oxidation. In this way the aromas are preserved and the final drink can always boast an enviable crema. In particular, the use of paper pods always ensures that a successful Italian espresso is produced to the highest standards, even if it is done by someone who is not an expert, many many miles from where the beans were roasted.

Coffee beans and ground coffee

Coffee beans are supplied in bags or small or large tins, pressurized in a modified atmosphere. These are particularly recommended for the restaurant/café trade.

Paper pods: prepacked pre-measured coffee

Paper pods are practical packs of coffee ground to a specific grain size for espresso, in a perfect portion size for a single cup (7 gram pod) or for two cups (14 gram pod). The paper we use makes them biodegradable and therefore eco-friendly, but in addition to this the paper acts as a filter which almost completely traps residues, bacteria and the majority of the waxes and fats. The result is thus a particularly wholesome coffee.
The pods are individually packed under nitrogen in a protective atmosphere so as to maintain the aroma unchanged until the moment of consumption. We offer three types of pod format: ESE type, compact format and double dose format. The compact format in our opinion ensures better extraction of the coffee.
