Sole Caffè Ltd is born from the twenty-plus years of experience possessed by our coffee roasting master Zanchelli, whose experience has helped to teach us the real secrets behind the outstanding and impassioned manufacturing of coffee.

Our final product is made by blending a mix of several types of coffee from various zones all around the world, Asia, Africa and finally South America. The meteorological conditions of these zones mean that they are conducive to cultivating the finest mixes of coffee.

The manufacturing takes place in a way that is entirely natural. The green coffee arrives with us hand-picked, washed and cleaned. There are then three processes involved in its manufacturing, the first is the roasting, or the ‘tostatura’ of the coffee, secondly is the degassing phase, and then ultimately the wrapping and packaging.

During the roasting of the coffee, the beans, whilst being stirred, are subject to temperatures of around 180-195^oC. We call this process “a tamburo rotante” (“the rotating drum”) due to the fact we use a metal drum, in which there are augers and flaps, which ensure the continuous turning over of the product; also evening out the roasting. Inside there is a gas burner which directs warm air, necessary for the process, for around 15-20 minutes depending on the type of coffee, the capacity of the roasting machine and the required taste.

Another choice made by Sole Caffè Ltd, has to do with that old legend that coffee is better if packaged just after roasting. Romantic, but wrong. At Sole Caffè Ltd we are aware of the fact that coffee continues to cook, inside each bean, for a period of around 72 hours after roasting; it develops a post-cooking gas which contributes neither to the taste nor to the wholesomeness of the product. For this reason Sole Caffè Ltd leaves its coffee to rest in degassing silos before moving them on to be packaged.

The final process of manufacture is the packaging which sees the finished coffee sealed in 1kg bags. Packs are also made containing 5x1kg bags.
