ABOUT CAFFÈ BORBONE

ITALY’S #1 COFFEE POD BRAND

Authentic Neapolitan Coffee, Crafted in Italy

From a beloved local coffee roaster to one of Italy's leading coffee brands, Caffè Borbone delivers authentic Neapolitan coffee rooted in Italian tradition and made for modern coffee lovers. From bold espresso blends to smooth everyday brews, we carefully select premium beans and expertly roast them using time-honored tradition to create coffee for every taste and coffee routine.

Our History: A Neapolitan Heritage

Founded in Naples in 1997 by Massimo Renda, Caffè Borbone began under the name L'Aromatika. After gaining experience through his family's small roasting business, Massimo recognized the potential of espresso pods and single-serve coffee and set out to make Italian coffee more accessible. Driven by this vision, he traveled door-to-door across Italy selling ESE pod machines and espresso pods. His passion for coffee helped lay the foundation for what would become one of Italy's most recognized coffee brands.

As demand grew across Italy, Massimo brought production in-house, purchasing the company's first roasting and pod-production machines in Naples. It was here that the name Caffè Borbone was born. Today, Caffè Borbone is Italy's leading brand for coffee pods by sales volume.

After becoming a favorite in Italy, Caffè Borbone expanded to the United States through Caffè Borbone America. While our roots remain firmly planted in Naples, we now bring authentic Italian coffee to coffee lovers throughout North America. From traditional espresso drinkers to modern home brewers, we continue to create products that fit the way people enjoy coffee today. With time, and a lot of passion, Caffè Borbone has become a trusted name in specialty shops and homes across the globe.

OUR COFFEE: Authentic Italian Tradition

Coffee is a daily part of life. It wakes us up, helps us connect with loved ones, and grounds us in the moment. At Caffè Borbone, we take pride in making coffee for those everyday moments and for the people who make them happen.

We carefully select and roast premium, ethically sourced beans to create blends full of character and fulfill our mission to make great coffee.

Roasted to Perfection

For decades, we've upheld the Neapolitan roasting tradition with passion and precision. Our coffee is roasted using a traditional method that combines temperatures of approximately 650°C with a rotating metal drum. This process allows the beans to roast evenly while maximizing their aromatic expression and distinctive flavor.

We source coffee from some of the world's most respected growing regions, selecting beans that meet our standards for quality, consistency, and character.

The result is a rich, signature taste recognized by both coffee lovers and industry experts, earning awards and recognition throughout our history.
