Caffè Borbone

Caffè Borbone was founded in 1996. The name pays tribute to the House of Bourbon, an old European noble family that still exists today and includes the heads of state of Luxembourg and Spain. Caffè Borbone now holds the title of official supplier to the family's descendants. The company sees itself as more than just another coffee producer. It aims to be a lasting source of inspiration and renewal by embracing new technologies, while staying deeply committed to the region's Neapolitan traditions in every product. Combining heritage with a clear vision for the future, the brand consistently delivers outstanding Neapolitan coffee, now enjoyed around the world. The beans come exclusively from the Finca Los Diegos, grown at 1,300 meters on fertile volcanic soil, ideal conditions for exceptional specialty coffee. The farm is run by father and son: Diego Sr., an agronomist focused on regenerative farming, and Diego Jr., a certified Q-Grader who oversees quality and processing. Coffee cherries are hand-picked and gently processed using methods such as anaerobic fermentation, natural drying, and washing, developing complex aromas that range from floral and fruity to chocolatey and spicy. Close collaboration with experienced roasters and regular cupping sessions ensure that every batch reaches its full potential.

Enjoying a great cup of coffee in Naples is about more than relaxation. It is also a sensory experience with real social meaning. Coffee is part of almost every social interaction in the city, and you will rarely meet anyone there who says no to a cup. Naples gave rise to the tradition of "Caffè Sospeso," a beautiful ritual and a moment of joy. Since the early twentieth century, visitors to the bars and cafés of the city have paid for an extra coffee alongside their own, a custom that continues today. The barista notes down the paid-for coffee and later serves it to anyone in need who asks for it. The idea behind this tradition is simple. No one, however little they have, should have to go without a cup of coffee. Sharing coffee together creates the chance for social connection, good conversation, and a sense of belonging. Caffè Borbone was founded very much in the spirit of this wonderful custom. If you want to complete your Italian coffee experience the way Italians do, try pairing your coffee with delicious Cantuccini. A bold espresso or cappuccino with these almond biscuits is a truly heavenly combination.
