Caffe Appassionato is a globally enjoyed heritage roastery specializing in premium craft coffee. Utilizing traditional, manual techniques instead of automation, their master roasters hand-blend specialty beans to produce exceptionally smooth, low-acid brews with deep, rich flavor profiles.
"To refuse or neglect to give coffee to their wives was a legitimate cause for divorce among Turks. The men made [a] promise when marrying never to let their wives be without coffee. "That," says Fulbert de Monteith, “is perhaps more prudent than to swear fidelity.” from All About Coffee (1922) by William H. Ukers.
Founded in 1990 by the late Tucker McHugh, Caffe Appassionato remains one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier roasting companies of fine gourmet coffee. Continuing his legacy of excellence, they offer benchmark coffee roasts and blends which are produced, packaged, labeled, and served to reflect the superior image and quality of the products.
Their products distinguish themselves by being superior in quality, full-bodied in flavor, and exceptionally low in acids. Stepping back in time to roast the artisan way, their roasters manually blend and roast the raw coffees by hand using sight, smell, and time to ensure the perfect roast. No computer can replace a coffee-roasting enthusiast trained as a roaster extraordinaire. While their success originated in the Pacific Northwest, today Caffe Appassionato coffee is enjoyed in coffee shops around the world.
Caffe Appassionato has partnered with Made In Washington for over 20 years.
