A Story of passion for good coffee

portioli-family

In 1958 Giorgio Portioli bought a tasting-bar in Via Eustachi in Milan, where he started using a roasting machine to produce and sell high-quality coffee blends.

The success achieved lead Portioli to sell his blends to others bars and cafeterias in Italy.

In 1989 the company moved to a larger headquarter and started exporting worldwide.

Portioli is still a family company, now in its fourth generation, offering top quality and dedication.
