Artisan Coffee Roaster

SMALL BATCH ROASTER & SPECIALTY COFFEE SHOP

Laveggio Roasteria is a true artisan coffee roaster and retail coffee house selling Specialty Grade coffee and tea. We roast only the highest grade of coffee available -“Specialty Grade” – on a drum roaster, by-hand, in the artisan tradition – without the aid of computerized controllers, laptops and roasting software.

Our focus in on sourcing and roasting Ethically Traded coffees. We have roasted over 12,400 loads of coffee by-hand at the Roasteria since 2007.  We roast, sample roast and cup our production every day. In order to provide a diverse spectrum of flavors we rotate our coffees frequently by buying seasonally. Coffees are sourced from every growing region and roasted to highlight their “terroir”, which is their inherent flavors, aromas, and intricacies, based on where they are grown. Laveggio Roasteria is dedicated to offering coffees we’re excited about.  We are driven by our intent to provide the highest quality coffees possible.

A Passion for Coffee

THE COFFEE PROFESSIONALS BEHIND LAVEGGIO

Laveggio Espresso Bar was born 17 years ago from our passion for good coffee. Since then, as working owners, we have been behind the bar every day, hand-crafting espresso drinks and brewing specialty Coffee to SCAA standards. We felt from the very beginning that with the exception of a few small artisan shops  – buying a cup of single origin drip coffee, a cappuccino or beans to brew at home, leaves a lot to be desired. We knew we could do a much better job. Instead of the usual “fast food” coffee experience – we set out to offer a professional coffee experience.  What we created 17 years ago and continue to refine is a culture where the Barista can engage the customer and make knowledgeable suggestions from the standpoint of a trained palate, not reciting tasting notes verbatim. Every aspect of your experience is important to us. With the launch of our small batch artisan roasting operation – Laveggio Roasteria – in 2007, we now control the sourcing and roasting of our coffee as well as continuing to brew to the highest SCAA standards.

How It Started

Timing is everything in life. A chance meeting with a Master Roaster in 2000, led to sample roasting and cupping an amazing “M.A.O Horse” Harrar on a magical Saturday afternoon. A long and interesting learning process began, cupping and spitting, sample roasting Huehue and Harrar on a Sivitz air gun (which I got from Mike Sivetz – and still use almost every day) learning the SCAA brew chart, pulling shots with J.G. on an ancient manual 3 group Faema, and many long conversations with Don Schoenholdt, Wilem Boot and Carl Staub have led us here. 

Teamwork

We are a small group of talented and focused coffee professionals, each with our own strengths. We work together to make your coffee experience the best it can be. Every employee at Laveggio Roasteria must pass a palate test as a condition of employment. That means that every Barista can discuss the tasting notes for each coffee we offer, as well as the brewing parameters for whatever method you use. Each one of us is driven to show you the difference between our experience and expertise -vs- the standard coffee chain experience.
