Son of a Barista produces artisanal coffee. That means produced by artisans using traditional methods. Flavor, texture, and crema are Italian—in spirit, in production, in perfection. We choose organic coffee beans from around the world, roast and grind them in Italy, and create blends that delight any coffee drinker’s palate. With our curated selection of coffee pods, you can make any espresso-based drink conveniently at home or in the office.
THE BUSINESS MODEL
We believe so strongly in the quality of our coffee that we give you the coffee machine for free. After you fall in love with our coffee, our subscription service delivers coffee to your doorstep. Our D2C model, elevated by our user-friendly interface, allows customers to choose and edit their personalized coffee subscription at the click of a button.
THE ORIGIN STORY
Son of a Barista was founded by an Italian immigrant who wanted to enjoy great coffee the way he had done growing up in Italy. He went back to his roots to recreate what was missing on the American coffee market. Trained as an engineer, he understood that precise steam pressure and the exact amount of coffee are needed to create the perfect cup of coffee.
THE CUSTOMERS
We were conceived in the digital age where people’s shopping habits have been revolutionized. The days of trotting around massive flagship stores for coffee no longer suits the modern consumer’s busy schedule. Our customers demand high quality and convenience. And that’s what Son of a Barista gives them.
THE B2B EXPERIENCE
Son of a Barista also offers industrial coffee machines and provides our full range of coffees to meet the specific needs of hotels, restaurants, and business customers. Our B2B solutions enable your company to offer the perfect cup of coffee to your guests, customers, and clients, every time.
Son of a Barista will give you the taste experience of a professional barista brewing and serving your coffee, just like in Italy.
