What Fuego Tostadores is known for
Fernando Lozano and María Conte opened Fuego Tostadores in Buenos Aires's Colegiales neighborhood in 2019, reviving a family coffee-supply business that traced back to the 1940s rather than starting from nothing.
Fernando Lozano and María Conte opened Fuego Tostadores in Buenos Aires's Colegiales neighborhood in 2019, reviving a family coffee-supply business that traced back to the 1940s rather than starting from nothing. The roastery works exclusively with micro-lots scoring above 80 SCA points sourced from Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, keeping the sourcing bar as high as the family history behind the name is long.
Beyond retail, Fuego runs a barista training school and a subscription club, extending the business from a roastery into an education and repeat-customer program built around the same high-scoring lots.
It's a rare case of a decades-old family supply business finding new life as a specialty roastery, rather than a specialty roastery inventing its own origin story from scratch.
