How Gimoka Fits Into The Italian Coffee Tradition

Italian coffee culture is so deeply ingrained in the global coffee community, that these two terms are virtually synonymous. The path that Italian coffee beans have taken through time reveals strong connections to historical roots and cultural influences, while showcasing expert craftsmanship. Gimoka celebrates this heritage by delivering it to coffee lovers throughout the world. Join us as we discover the captivating history of Italian coffee beans and Gimoka's efforts to preserve this cultural legacy.

The Origins of Coffee in Italy 

In the 16th century coffee reached Italy through the busy ports of Venice. The exotic beans from the Middle East reached Italy through merchants and presented Italians with what would become a fundamental aspect of their cultural identity. Initially only the wealthy could afford coffee, which was served in the opulent cafés of Venice. Its popularity gradually extended throughout the nation and became part of daily life.

During the 18th century, coffee houses transformed into central gathering places where people came together to converse about political matters, artistic developments and everyday events. Italy's rich coffee culture developed significantly through the influence of its cafés, which remain integral to the culture today.

Why Italian Coffee Stands Out 

What unique qualities set Italian coffee beans apart from others? Italian coffee stands out because its quality comes from both the beans and the artistry that goes into making them. The art of coffee roasting has been perfected by Italians which allows them to fully extract the flavour and aroma from the coffee beans. Italian coffee stands apart because it displays a deep, robust character instead of the lighter roasts that are popular in various regions. The distinctive bold and smooth flavour profile now represents Italian espresso.

The meticulous attention to detail during every stage of the process contributes to the high regard Italian coffee commands. The entire coffee production process incorporates careful attention to detail, beginning with bean selection through to the roasting refinement. The meticulous dedication in coffee preparation results in every cup delivering a consistent and enjoyable experience.

Gimoka’s Journey in Italian Coffee Tradition 

Gimoka started out during the 1980s situated in the beautiful Valtellina region of Northern Italy. From humble beginnings, our family run business grew with a simple mission: To deliver authentic Italian coffee to homes in every corner of the world. Our company has maintained its foundation while adopting new approaches to satisfy today's coffee enthusiasts.

Gimoka obtains its coffee beans from top tier plantations across the globe.
