The Origins of Di Lorenzo Coffee

How Did Everything Start

Di Lorenzo Coffee is a tale of love and passion for the perfect cup. Founded in 2003 by Aldo Cozzi, who was driven by his obsession for perfection and love for Italian coffee, this specialty blend was created to bring the authentic taste of home to coffee lovers in Australia. Aldo soon realized that simply importing coffee from Italy was not the solution to bring authentic taste. The freshness and sustainability of the coffee were just as important. This led him on a journey of research and experimentation, determined to find the perfect balance of Italian flavor and Australian style. After much effort, Aldo's hard work paid off and Di Lorenzo Coffee, with its iconic red logo featuring a little cup, quickly became a popular choice in exclusive cafes and restaurants across Sydney. The unique blend, crafted with love and passion, provided a taste of Italy like no other and satisfied even the most discerning coffee connoisseurs.

The Lifelong Love Story Behind Di Lorenzo Coffee

Uncovering the Inspiration Behind the Brand Name

The love story behind Di Lorenzo Coffee doesn't end there. Aldo was inspired by his wife, Mina Di Lorenzo, and named his creation after her as a tribute to their love. Aldo wanted to share his family's recipe for espresso with Australians, but he wanted it to be more than just another coffee brand. He wanted to create an experience that was inspired by the Italian coffee culture and lifestyle, but still felt distinctly Australian. So he created a brand that was both unique and approachable, fun and sophisticated. With the red cup and bag now being easily recognizable to coffee enthusiasts in Sydney, it has become so popular that it is even featured on social media and the iconic Australian TV show "Home and Away" as the go-to coffee brand in Sydney. The red cup is a symbol of Italian passion and love. We have worked hard to create a brand and an experience that feels like an invitation into the world of Italian coffee. The red cup is the first thing you see when you walk in our stores; it's inviting, friendly and warm. It brings people together to celebrate life's simple pleasures.
