Reggio Calabria, Italy
Southern Italian tradition, roasted slowly
Heritage
Caffè Mauro is one of Italy's best-known traditional roasters, founded in Reggio Calabria in 1949.
Its method is slow and patient: every variety in a blend is roasted separately, so each origin keeps its own character.
Since 2021 Mauro has been part of Gruppo Gimoka, and since 2023 Platinum has represented it exclusively in Greece, with its classic blends, from the all-Arabica Centopercento to the intense Maestoso, its single-origin Perù and its Deca.
