Torrefazione Caffè New York dal 1930

In the early 1930s Mr. Ugo Incerpi, owner of the Bar New York, bought a coffee roasting machine, in order to be able to offer a special product to the sophisticated clientele visiting the spa town to rest and “take the waters”.

The result? His coffee was so good that, within a short time, word spread and on Sundays people even came from Florence to enjoy “Sor Ugo’s” excellent coffee. The classic “Caffè New York” brand, with its logo represented by a black woman holding a handful of coffee beans, appeared in the mid 1930s. A redesigned version of this symbol is still used today.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the artisanal activity was transformed thanks to Mr. Oscar Onori, Mr. Incerpi’s son-in-law.

Caffè New York began to be distributed in Tuscany cafés and bars. “Primeros”, a particularly mild coffee blend that has the strength of real Italian espresso was created in that period. The packaging of this blend is characterised by a man enjoying a hot cup of “Caffè New York”.
Thus our story continues until today; when at any time of the day thousands of people all over the world drink our coffee.

Not only in Tuscany, but also in Japan, France, Canada, South Africa, and Germany, where we received a special recognition beating much better known competitors.
