Since 2003

From obsession to perfection

Our story

A taste of home, roasted fresh

Aldo Cozzi missed the taste of home. Importing coffee from Italy did not fix it, because by the time it arrived it was stale. So he took the long way round: find the beans, get the blend right, learn the roast. In 2003 it worked.

Named after his wife

The coffee is called Di Lorenzo after Mina Di Lorenzo, Aldo's wife. The red cup came next, and it is now known well enough to have turned up on Home and Away as the coffee on set.

How it is made

Eight origins, one roastery

Beans come from Brazil, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Ethiopia, the Arabian Peninsula, India and Papua New Guinea. They are shipped green and blended before the roast, never after it.
