The Story

Espresso di Manfredi by Piazza d'Oro, is the collaboration between Piazza d'Oro and Stefano Manfredi, and has set a new standard for coffee in the Australian market since 2000.
"Working with Wayne Archer, Piazza d'Oro master roaster, has been a rewarding experience for me. Developing Espresso di Manfredi has been akin to creating a great wine. An enormous amount of time and effort has been invested to get the middle palate right. Espresso di Manfredi by Piazza d'Oro is a complete coffee - it satisfies on all counts," said Stefano - chef, writer and celebrated food authority.

The Coffee

1kg Beans & 200g tin Ground
The result is a blend of high quality Arabicas from South America and a touch of fine Robustas from Asia. The Arabicas selected provide a combination of elegant acidity and chocolate sweetness with the Robustas adding the body, underlying strength and complexity of character.
The packaging for Espresso di Manfredi by Piazza d'Oro reflects its Italian heritage. The imagery of two men "shooting the breeze" is inherent in coffee culture worldwide. As the ultimate gesture of Australian/Italian authenticity, the photo that features on the slick silver packaging is Stefano's father and a family friend. The picture was taken in the Argyle Cut in Sydney's historic Rocks area.

The Cups

The cup suite was created from a desire to combine the aesthetic and the practical. Each piece looks and feels right, presenting as a simple and uncluttered form. Both the proportions and the volumes have been carefully considered so they feel good to hold and drink from.
