Visit the new, official Lavazza website: discover the entire line of coffee, espresso coffee machines and accessories. Lavazza, the coffee preferred by Italians.
Caffè Nero was founded in 1997 by Gerry Ford who had a vision to bring a continental style coffee house experience to Europe and beyond.
Our philosophy is really very simple: Premium Italian coffee. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Good food and great personal service.
Caffè Nero has continued to increase its store numbers, sales and profitability year on year and become a familiar neighbourhood meeting place in towns and cities across Europe and US. As store numbers have increased, Caffè Nero has built a strong brand identity built on premium espresso-based gourmet coffee, authentic Italian food products and a relaxing atmosphere in every store.
“Blue Bottle is coffee and people. Not necessarily in that order.”
—James Freeman, Founder
In our eyes, coffee’s main purpose is to be delicious. We go to great lengths to source, roast, taste, and prepare coffee so our guests can enjoy it at peak deliciousness.
We know that good coffee depends on strong community. We work directly with farmers around the world to source our coffees as sustainably and ethically as we can. We hire team members who are dedicated to creating beautiful experiences with coffee.
From the farm to the cafe, our coffee is handled by people who care.
