Founded in 2000 as an equipment supplier, we entered the retail coffee market in 2002 by opening Laveggio Espresso Bar, and followed in 2007 with Laveggio Roasteria, a European design espresso bar in downtown Binghamton that also houses our artisan roasting operation.
As professional Barista's we have been behind the bar every day for 8 years hand-crafting espresso drinks and brewing Specialty Coffee to SCAA standards.
We roast coffee by-hand on a drum roaster in the artisan tradition.
Wholesale roasting is done to order. We do not roast for inventory, this means that your order is roasted and shipped within 24 hours. Each bag carries the roast date, and we unconditionally guarantee the freshness of every bag. We cup our production twice a day to maintain quality and consistency.
Coffee origins are like wine grape origins. Each tastes different because of the micro-climate, the soil where it is grown, and how it is processed. At Laveggio Roasteria we roast to preserve the ?terroir? and complexity inherent in each origin with a lighter roasting style.
We are very concerned with sustainability of the worlds coffee supply and to that end, the majority of our offerings are Organic & Ethically Traded. In 2008, we ventured into a partnership with Liga Masiva and Los Ramirez to launch a Direct Trade project and ?Cafe Liga Masiva? was born. By purchasing Cafe Liga Masiva, you can be assured that the farm families that work so hard to produce this great coffee are compensated fairly.
