A Rich Heritage

Growing up, I was blessed with the rich heritage of Italian culture, surrounded by the warmth and wisdom of my grandparents. Living Next door to my maternal grandparents, each day began with a cheerful “good morning” before heading to school and ended with their loving company. Despite financial constraints, our home was always filled with the aroma of homemade Italian delicacies, a testament to our rich culinary heritage. Friends were always welcomed with open arms and an open fridge, a true reflection of Italian Hospitality.

A Legacy of Taste

With all four grandparents hailing from Italy, not only did we inherit a deep sense of pride in our roots, but we also grew up savoring and understanding the essence of quality food. Stories from the old country breathed life into our daily meals, inspiring a lifelong appreciation for exquisite flavors.

In my mid-20’s, my journey took me back to Italy, where I connected with cousins and dived deeper into our familial legacy. Each visit, enriched by stories of love for Southern Italy, further fueled my quest for quality, not just in food but in life.

A Vision for Alfonso's Coffee

At Alfonso's Coffee, we blend tradition with taste. Our journey begins with a dedication to quality and ethical sourcing. By sourcing our beans from one of the first fair trade roasters in the country, we ensure our coffee not only delivers exceptional flavor but also supports farmers and their communities globally. Each cup promises a smooth, rich taste that stands apart, inviting you to leave your usual drive-thru coffee or coffee pod for a truly delightful experience.

Our Sourcing and Roasting Process

Commitment to Quality
At Alfonso's Coffee, our dedication to quality starts with our trusted suppliers. These suppliers have built relationships with top coffee importers and farmers over the last 30+ years, ensuring we receive the highest quality beans.

Freshness at the Source
Our suppliers are committed to purchasing coffee at its peak freshness after harvest. They seal the green beans in grain pro or ecotact bags at the origin, preserving their vibrant character throughout the year.

Innovative Roasting Techniques
Our coffee is roasted by experts using the unique fluid bed roasting method. This technique, different from traditional drum roasting, involves roasting the beans on a column of hot air. This process flushes out byproducts like smoke and chaff immediately, ensuring only the pure flavors of the beans are retained. The result is a cleaner, more developed flavor profile. The method also ensures consistency and precision by roasting beans to a set temperature.
