Kaffee Damast Competitors

illycaffè is an Italian family business, founded in Trieste in 1933 and committed to offering the greatest coffee to the world. illycaffè produces a unique 100% Arabica blend, combining 9 of the best varieties in the world, selected by illycaffè. Each day more than 8 million cups are consumed in over 140 countries in the finest cafés, restaurants, hotels and in offices and homes. illy has become the standard forerunner of espresso, and thanks to three critical innovations, it contributes to the coffee technology progress at global level. With the bestowing of the first “Ernesto Illy Award for quality espresso coffee” in 1991 in Brazil, illy also pioneered direct sourcing, sharing know-how and paying a premium price for the best quality. The company also founded its University of Coffee with the aim of fostering and spreading its culture, providing comprehensive academic and hands-on training for coffee growers, baristas and coffee lovers in order to cover every aspect of the product. Everything ‘made in illy’ is enhanced by beauty & art, which represent founding values of the brand, starting from its logo – designed by an artist, James Rosenquist – and including the renowned illy Art Collection, comprised of over 100 cups designed by international artists. In 2025, the company had a turnover of about €700 million.

Stumptown was started with the goal of doing things differently, with a vision that’s always been a little left-of-center, and with the focus squarely on quality. We source the best coffees in the world and strive to maintain transparent, quality-based relationships with our farmers along the way. From plant to portafilter, we pay homage to these folks through our own fervent attention to detail at every step, quality control in our cupping labs, meticulous roasting profiles and extensive barista education. We are committed to the well-being of everyone we work with, from the farmers and the communities they live in, to our employees and communities here in the States. We value our relationships with our customers, growers, and each other. With our roastery facility in Portland, multiple cafes, and fantastic wholesale partnerships around the country, we think there’s a lot to be proud of here.

Art is in our DNA, and Artigiano is again returning to the excellence we have always been known for. We don’t use automatic espresso machines. We don’t pass off low quality products to our guests in pretty displays. Artigiano takes pride in every single product we sell, and in every beverage we create. We only source local partners with the best ingredients. We take our time. We like conversation. We select our farmers around the world, by being a loyal long-term partner in their business through good times and bad. We roast our own unique blends that nobody can duplicate. We use tools like thermometers on every shot, and we deliver our loyal guests a consistent and perfect cup of coffee - every time. This is our continued commitment to our name, and to the true trade of being a craftsman in coffee. Thousands of baristas have come through our cafes over the years, and they have all contributed to what we are today. For that, we are thankful. We now hope to recreate this coffee culture for the next generation.
