Artisan coffee supplier Casa Espresso has invested in new roasting facilities as it seeks to capitalise on a gap in the local market.
The Yorkshire-based company has invested in a 5kg roaster that enables it to offer high-quality coffees in small batches, including Kenyan Ther’i, Nicaraguan Samaria, Rwandan Karengera and Ethiopian Kaffe Forest Organic. The expansion means that Casa Espresso’s roasters can assume full control of the roast, allowing them to extract and refine fantastic flavours to the customers’ taste or requirement.
The investment builds on the firm’s business connections and strong sales and falls in line with its ambition to become the first coffee roaster in the Bradford area, it said.
Casa Espresso owner Nino di Rienzo said: “We’ve noticed more and more micro-roasteries opening up and wanted to be part of this exciting new trend. Our own brand of coffees sits perfectly alongside our existing range, and are available in both whole beans and pre-ground 1000g wholesale bags, and 250g retail packs.
“The reaction has been great and we are already supplying the new coffees to cafés and coffee shops across North and West Yorkshire.”
