Quarta Caffè

The birth of an espresso empire

More than sixty years ago, Gaetano Quarta had the desire to open his own coffee company and put his plan into action. This is how, in the 1950s, Quarta Caffè came to life in a bar with a small coffee roastery in the historic center of Lecce.

From the beginning, Quarta Caffè stood out for its excellent quality and soon achieved a certain fame in its home region of Salento.

Founded by the father, Quarta is still owned by the family after four generations and is continued by the son Antonio and his sons Edoardo and Gaetano Quarta. All the family members share the passion for coffee that helped Gaetano Quarta to make his roastery one of the best in Italy.

The dedication to coffee is the reason why Quarta Caffè, then as now, is one of the most sought-after espresso coffees in Italy.

The Quarta family's main focus is on maintaining high quality standards and absolute continuity in product quality. The mix of tradition and high tech guarantees that Quarta's espresso coffees are among the top products in the international espresso market.

Commitment to the preservation of the environment

Quarta Caffè attaches great importance to the sustainability of its products, which is why environmental issues are an important component and start at the production stage. The company has created the so-called "Progetto Natura" activities to ensure harmony with nature. This includes, among other things, the integration of a wind turbine as well as a photovoltaic system, which provide for the majority of the energy needs. 

Quarta Espresso for every taste

The selection of green coffees as well as the roasting profiles of the individual bean varieties are decisive when it comes to achieving the highest product quality.

Tradition and experience allow Quarta Caffè to offer a wide range of tasty espressos that stand out above all for their original blends. A wide range of Quarta espresso allows fragrant lovers to choose between intense or mild varieties. Whether strong blends, especially suitable for cappuccino and latte macchiato, or full, round blends for a delicious espresso.
