Our Mission Statement is 'to create a collection of the finest coffee to sell in all the major world markets under our ESPRESSIONE brand name'. The perfect cup of espresso begins with the most important ingredient… THE COFFEE!.
We have searched the globe for the finest quality espresso coffee and have found them in Italy …. An old-world Italian coffee roasting company, based near the Amalfi Coast. This company has been in business for over 50 years, having mastered the technique of producing blends of coffee from the best varieties of Arabica and Robusta coffees. Our roasting company produces and sells various blends of coffee for professional coffee bars, domestic consumption and automatic vending machines. With their high quality products, the company enjoys an active presence in both the Italian domestic and international markets. Due to their size and flexibility, they are able to guarantee swift and efficient deliveries of our range of products.
The most important new trend in the consumer market is the use of the easy serving espresso (or pod), marketed with the label E.S.E. Why individual espresso coffee servings? These coffee servings are an innovative system designed for absolute simplicity in the preparation of Espresso coffee; seven grams of coffee compressed into a practical filter package. The E.S.E. system (Easy Serving Espresso) is ideal for guaranteeing the level of coffee quality and is now a brand name protected by the Italian 'Consortium for Development' .
At home, in the office, wherever you want, thanks to the E.S.E. standard it is possible to enjoy to the full the intense flavour of a quality Espresso, the unmistakable aroma of a cup of Espresso made to perfection. With E.S.E the coffee is perfectly proportioned and sealed in a safe filter paper; no more guessing how much ground coffee to put into the filter holder, no more mess from spilt coffee, no more poor quality drinks.
With the E.S.E the maintenance of the machine is minimal and the aroma and flavour of the coffee remains constant. A further advantage is that E.S.E portioning is also ecological because the filter paper used in our process is environmentally friendly. We believe so strongly that E.S.E is the ONLY way to package coffee that we do not offer any other methods of packaging!.
How does the serving system work? The individual portions of coffee that is the - COFFEE SERVING SYSTEM - offers an extremely practical, efficient, fast and clean way of obtaining an authentic Espresso. The SERVINGS (coffee pods) are individual compressed portions of fresh ground coffee packed between two sheets of food-grade filter paper. In this way you are assured of receiving the perfect quantity of coffee (7gr.), ground and compressed to just the right point for producing an Espresso.

Espresso Machines
Traditional coffee machines or Pump Machines
Most coffee machines use a vibrating pump to force the water from the water tank through a thermo block (aka Heat exchanger), which heats the water to 96 degrees centigrade quickly then forces it through the coffee. Usually, they generate 10 to 19 bars of pressure. When the operator wants steam the thermo block heats up so the water turns to steam. It will then have to cool down again the produce an espresso; this delay can be frustrating if making more than one drink.
Some machines have 2 independent thermo blocks or boilers which stay at 110 degrees for steam and 96 degrees for Coffee production
Bean-to-cup coffee machines
If you want the freshest coffee possible, a bean-to-cup coffee machine may be the right choice for you.
Bean-to-cup coffee machines are automatic: you simply add coffee beans and the machine will grind them and dispense and tamp the correct amount by the touch of a button. There’s no need to use a porta filter – the coffee machine does all the work for you. They will very often foam the milk automatically as well. Although steaming milk manually will, if done correctly, produce creamer denser foam than a Bean- to- cup machine.
Bean-to-cup coffee machines tend to be pricier than traditional models and they can be noisy. But they’re easy to use, and can make great coffee if the beans are fresh. It does not however follow that spending more on a machine will produce you a better tasting coffee, that’s more about freshness than anything else
Capsule coffee machines
Capsule coffee or Pod machines are increasingly popular.
These coffee machines offer espresso for the microwave ready-meal generation – and those of us who lead very busy lives.
Instead of faffing around with loose coffee, you simply add a pre-packaged pot of coffee to your machine, press a button, and wait for espresso to drip out of the spout.
Capsule coffee machines are easy to use and clean, extremely convenient and there are plenty of options. The main downside is that most capsule machines only take one type of capsule (e.g. Nespresso, Dolce Gusto) and, though most ranges offer several varieties, you’re limited to the options they supply.
A lot of traditional pump machines will however accept E.S.E. pods as well as ground coffee giving the owner a much wider choice of blends and most important of all kept fresh until the time of brewing.
