About our coffee

At Caffè Milanese®, we aim to deliver the highest quality coffee that stands as a benchmark for safety and flavor. Our coffee undergoes a triple certification process: first, when procuring only certified green coffee beans; second, upon their importation to Italy; and finally, after roasting and blending. This ensures the complete absence of harmful substances like acrylamide and ochratoxin A—carcinogenic elements linked to severe health risks. By adhering to our Know-How standards, we ensure that every cup of coffee nurtures both the body and mind, delivering an exceptional and worry-free coffee experience.

Our coffee is crafted through a meticulous process that highlights our unique 21–28 day controlled maturation. This allows the beans to naturally release CO₂ and CO gases, enhancing flavor and reducing digestive discomfort. The process enriches the beans with essential oils like linoleic acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid, which are rich in antioxidants, supporting cardiovascular health and digestion. Each batch is roasted using artisanal methods to ensure a full-bodied flavor and aromatic profile, reflecting our unwavering dedication to quality.

  • Tradition – Honoring the artisanal methods of coffee production that prioritize quality over mass production.
  • Taste – Delivering a rich, satisfying coffee experience that celebrates diverse flavor profiles.
  • Quality – Using only the finest single-origin beans, triple-certified for safety and excellence. In addition, ensuring our products are free from harmful carcinogenic elements like acrylamide and ochratoxin A, offering a coffee experience that is as safe as it is delicious.
  • Sustainability – Employing environmentally responsible practices to reduce our ecological impact and support future generations.

Yes, every coffee bean we use undergoes a rigorous triple-certification process to guarantee its quality and safety. First, we procure only certified green coffee beans, ensuring they meet strict international standards. Next, upon importation to Italy, these beans are recertified for quality and safety. Finally, after roasting and blending, the final product undergoes a third certification to confirm the absence of harmful substances such as acrylamide and ochratoxin A before it reaches our customers. Certificates for these processes are available upon request.

Sustainability and Ethical Practices

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We generate three times the energy required for our production through sustainable methods and proudly offer fully compostable coffee capsules. From responsibly sourcing beans to minimizing our environmental impact, we are committed to supporting local farming communities and reducing our carbon footprint.

We work directly with farmers, ensuring they receive fair compensation and access to essential resources like modern farming techniques, tools, and training. By fostering long-term relationships, we support sustainable cultivation practices that benefit both farmers and the environment. For example, our collaborations have helped local communities improve yields while reducing their ecological impact.
