Our identity
Since 1937 Caffè Milani, is focused on seven elements that represent its approach to producing and delivering an excellent coffee every day.
Our history begins in 1937 in Como, facing the famous lake.
The magnificent coffee aroma was spread from the door of our first coffee roastery where Celestino Milani, the founder, used to roast the coffee with a small roasting machine. In the years our coffee became in Como a “must” destination for a good italian-style coffee and Celestino Milani became a true “Master Roaster“, one of the most capable of his time.
This endless passion involved his youngest son, Pierluigi Milani. He taught him the secrets of roasting and the recipes of the blends: a precious treasure that has been kept and updated jealously to the present days. Pierluigi, in the following years, continued to transfer into the headquarter in Lipomo the attention to the production process that his father had taught him.
And now in our modern and technological factory, where past and future are integrated to obtain the finest quality products, the story continues with the third generation, Elisabetta and Mattia Milani.
History
History means family, and culture of a profession that over the years and through lived experiences, had evolved and developed. Better that any school, better then any other learning methodology, the years spent during the generation transition from father to son, had created such a unique and special roasting style.
Heart
The heart is pure love. Having the product at the heart, following it, pampering it, being passionate by seeing it grow. A passion that arises spontaneously in people and that is not for sale: either you have it or you don’t. The heart that Milani has always had for coffee.
Power
We believe that our strength and our determination can be felt in our coffee. It’s the energy used in more than 80 years by Milani to achieve high target goals and it’s the one that will be needed to continue on this path in the coming years. The courage to go ahead.
Soul
The soul of the coffee is the essence, omething that goes beyond the bean. It’s the evokedemotion, it’s aroma, it’s the element which transforms the coffee cup in a magical experience. We have always wanted to respect the soul of coffee.
Ideas
We have never been afraid of new ideas. We have welcome them and often search for them. Ideas can change the world and are essential to follow and anticipateour customers’ taste, to ride new technologies respecting the past and choosing the best for the future.
Personality
A coffee with a strong personality stands out from the other. Each of our blends has its own different character and is appreciated for this. A coffee is like a friend, unique and irreplaceable and a coffee knows how to give you the right thing at the right time.
Balance
Harmony is everything in a coffee blend: it’s the perfect combination of strength and softness. The balance is a difficult art that Milani was able to learn in order to be always in harmony with its customers.
