Our story
A family built around the bean.
It began in 1988 when Antonio Rossi traded his carpenter's tools for a five-kilogram drum roaster and a tiny shop near the Duomo. His espresso became the morning ritual of the neighbourhood, and the secret recipe has been guarded ever since.
Today his children run the roastery and his grandchildren work the bar. We still roast in small batches, still cup every lot before it ships, and still believe coffee should connect people — to the land, to each other, and to the moment.
- Direct trade with 12 family farms across Ethiopia, Colombia & Brazil
- Small-batch drum roasting, never more than 30 kg at a time
- Seasonal single-origin programme with rotating reserves
- In-house pastry kitchen baking Italian classics daily
- Weekly public cupping sessions led by our head roaster

What guides us
The values behind every cup.
Roasted Slowly
Every batch follows a written roast curve, logged by hand and tasted at three stages. When it isn't right, we don't serve it.
Community First
From live jazz on Thursdays to cupping schools for local baristas, our café is a meeting place before it is a business.
