4. Journey & Roasting

   First each individual variety of coffee bean is separately slow roasted for 11 to 13 minutes, which exalts and protects its unique natural characteristics. All roasting takes place in Naples, the mythical land of the espresso, where our two vintage roasting machines from 1967 and 1969 are still used. A third generation master-roaster attentively oversees the whole process. After the roasting is finished, the beans are air-cooled (never with water) causing internal aromatic substances present in the coffee beans to condense. Caffè Barbera does not store or package the coffee beans immediately after cooling, but rather gives them time to mature in controlled temperatures, so as to balance the natural layers of oils and fats that form the rich aroma and flavour of coffee.

5. Journey to Caffè Barbera customers

   This step in the product development process of Caffè Barbera involves the global distribution of their products to over 70 countries worldwide. Importance is placed on ensuring the quality control during transportation, to maintain the integrity and taste of their coffee. To achieve this, significant data is monitored throughout the journey.
