About Antico Caffè Novecento

ANTICO CAFFE' NOVECENTO - LUXURY ITALIAN ESPRESSO Antico Caffè Novecento®: it all began in the summer of 1999, when Silvio, just over eighteen, found himself behind the coffee machine in his hometown, amidst black powder, milk, teaspoons, and cups to serve... But, above all, among the hearts of the people who would follow him in this beautiful adventure. The first steps in the world of the bar with the valuable advice of his grandfather, the desire to share his mood with people, the passion for things well done, and the tenacity of someone who is determined to achieve many goals, led to the birth of the Antico Caffè Novecento® brand, a dive into a deco dream, among old furnishings, prints... The smell of coffee and childhood memories... THE ROASTERY OF ANTICO CAFFE' NOVECENTO® In Tuscany, for the Antico Caffè Novecento® brand, master roasters roast the coffee using the same machinery installed decades ago. The coffee beans are roasted over direct fire obtained from wood combustion. The wood of Robinia pseudoacacia L., which fuels the stoves, leaves very little embers at the end of combustion and preserves in the cylinder a coffee "cooked with sweetness," neither better nor worse than others, just different. The credit goes to the hand that must know how to regulate the combustion of the wood, perfectly calculating the variables of the log's thickness, the humidity, and the state of the boiler, correlated to the season and the temperature of the room.Read their story
