Collection: Gardelli Roastery

The history of Gardelli Specialty Coffees has its roots in the 1980s when the Gardelli family ran a bar between 1982 and 1985. For Rubens, the brand's founder, his earliest memories behind a counter date back to that period, profoundly influencing his future career.
In 1996, Rubens' mother, Cinzia, opened a new bar, Santa Fè, in the industrial area of Forlì. In 2002, Rubens joined the management, making the café his first true training ground as a barista. It was during this period that the idea of roasting coffee was born, although information on the process was still hard to find online.
A decisive moment came during a stay in California, when Rubens noticed a visible coffee roaster inside a local bar. This episode strengthened his conviction to pursue coffee roasting. Upon returning to Italy in October 2008, he began experimenting with roasting using a small copper tool on his home stove.
This marked the beginning of Gardelli Specialty Coffees.
