Caffè Agust

Caffè Agust has run as a family business in Brescia for three generations, a lineage the roastery describes directly: "da 3 generazioni viaggiamo nelle piantagioni di caffè per conoscere i produttori" — three generations traveling to coffee plantations to know the producers personally. That direct-sourcing habit, sustained across three generations rather than a single founder's tenure, underpins the roastery's claim to fair labor practices and environmental responsibility throughout its supply chain.

The recognition backs up the pedigree: Gambero Rosso, Italy's authoritative food and drink guide publisher, named Caffè Agust "Migliore Torrefazione dell'Anno" — Best Roastery of the Year — in its 2026 Italian Coffee and Roastery Guide, a credentialed honor rather than a self-awarded title. The roastery's product range spans single-origin coffees, house blends, moka grounds and pods, giving both café operators and home brewers a way into the same beans.

Beyond roasting, Agust runs its own Coffee Academy, offering professional training courses and workshops for baristas and restaurant staff aimed at getting the preparation side right — treating good coffee as something that has to be both sourced well and brewed well to actually reach the cup as intended.
