Arcaffè history.
In 1893, the brothers Antonio and Luigi Meschini arrived in Livorno, Italy from Switzerland. Livorno was a bustling city full of business activities and flourishing with tourism. They started a drugstore in 1895 offering colonial goods, and coffee was one of the products.
Following the invention of the espresso machine in 1901, the coffee culture in Italy boomed, and the Meschini brothers decided on focusing and the development of their speciality coffee. Their introduction was a big success, and their coffee was used in many cafe bars around the region. Some of Arcaffè coffee remains the same recipe since 1926.
New Beginning
The Emergence of Coffee Legend Enrico Meschini
In 1986, Enrico Meschini entered the company and became the fourth-generation owner. He has a master’s degree in Natural Science, and he visits coffee farms across the globe extensively. He adamantly believes that the only way to produce good coffee starts is by cultivating good coffee using science. He saw the inconsistency between roasters, rampant misuse and false advertisement of counterfeit coffee, which is still happening today.
He founded the prestigious CSC certification in 1996, which has the most stringent standards to ensure that the certified coffee is made right from the production, transport, roasting and packaging. Every manufacturer is only given a specific number of certificate stickers depending on the amount of certified coffee they own. Coffee must be examined by independent examinators right to the finished product. With the certificate, one can trace back to the farm and confirm that the coffee is of certified quality and consistency.
Enrico Meschini eventually became a recognised legend in the coffee scene and was one of the jurors in the Cup of Excellence dubbed as the ‘Oscars of the coffee world’. This is the most magnificent coffee grading competition, where the most expensive and high-quality coffees are auctioned off.
Through Enrico Meschini’s relationship and complete understanding of good coffee. He could negotiate with the farmers directly and obtain premium coffee lots that are as close to the competition grade at fair value that benefits both his clients and the farmers.
New Heights
Premium coffee recognition
Prunella Meschini, the fifth-generation owner, has since taken over with Enrico in the backseat. Prunella is no amateur in the coffee scene and has brought the companies to new heights. Since she was young, she has accompanied his father, Enrico Meschini, around the world to hunt and monitor the process of making good coffee. She developed her expertise and was focused on the R&D. This led to the development of many new coffees, especially the newer Le Piantagioni branding, which has a sharper focus on high-quality speciality coffee.
A solid testament to her achievement was Le Piantagioni was featured by Forbes Magazine as the only receiver in the Specialty Coffee category in the top 100 Italian produces.
