Our story
We're passionate about what we do. It's why we buy only the best quality harvests from small artisan farms and private estates around the world. Why we work directly with our growers to ensure exclusivity. And why we go beyond the plantation with programs that benefit local growers and their communities. We select the top 1% Arabica beans from Latin America, Asia Pacific and East Africa. Then each batch of espresso and coffee is hand blended and hand-roasted to ensure it's done to perfection. Cultivated in the world's most exclusive growing regions, our whole-leaf tea is hand-plucked using only the top two leaves and a bud. It's then hand-blended and hand-flavored to ensure the highest quality and consistency.
The Kaldi
Sleek design meets vibrant color. With its smooth curves and gleaming metallics, the Kaldi's streamlined looks match its ease of use, and its innovative one touch technology delivers perfection in every cup. The Kaldi has automatic proportioning, ensuring consistency in taste and aroma. The twin pressure system provides high pressure (15 bar) for espresso or low pressure (3.5 bar) for coffee and tea. Additionally, it accommodates a variety of cup sizes. The Kaldi is available in a number of color options so you can match it perfectly with your decor.
