ANTICO CAFFE' NOVECENTO - LUXURY ITALIAN ESPRESSO Antico Caffè Novecento®: it all started in the summer of 1999, when Silvio, just over eighteen, found himself behind the coffee machine of his native country, among black powder, milk, teaspoons and cups serve... But, above all, among the hearts of the people who would follow him on this beautiful adventure. The first steps in the world of bars with the precious advice of his grandfather, the desire to share one's state of mind with people, the passion for things well done and the tenacity of those who have the will to cut many goals, have meant that the Antico Caffè Novecento® brand could be born, a dive into a Decò dream, among old furnishings, prints... The smell of coffee and the memories of a child... THE ROASTING OF ANTICO CAFFE' NOVECENTO® In Tuscany, for the Antico Caffè Novecento® brand, the master roasters roast coffee using the same machines installed for decades. The coffee beans are roasted on a direct fire obtained by burning wood. The Robinia pseudoacacia L. wood, which feeds the stoves, leaves very little embers at the end of combustion and keeps in the cylinder a coffee “cooked with sweetness”, nor better or worse than others, simply different. The merit is of the hand that must be able to regulate the combustion of wood, perfectly calculating the variables of log thickness, humidity and the state of the boiler, related to the season and the room temperature.
