We Believe Coffee Connects People
As a proponent of the third wave coffee movement, Chiasso Coffee Company delivers a complete café experience whether you're craving an expertly made latte, or feeding the rumble in your tummy for lunch. One of the best attributes of the Chiasso experience is our attention to detail — from ethically and fair-traded coffee beans, and an exceptional team of baristas devoted to excellence in every cup, to our amazing food menu, and a commitment to the vitality of the communities we reside in. Our cafés are designed with guest's comfort, warmth and hospitality in mind. Everything down to the latte art that floats on our textured milk and espresso creations reflects our passion. From the moment a guest steps through our doors we know they feel at home.
What is "Third Wave Coffee"
The first wave of North American coffee culture occurred when we all started drinking Maxwell House in our homes. The second wave began in the 1960's and included everything from Double-Doubles at Tim Horton's and Starbucks' Grande Lattes to the rise of regionally labeled coffee being offered at our grocers.
The third wave is all about the quality of the coffee and sourcing beans from specific farms, not countries, and meticulously roasting each bean in small batches to bring out its unique flavor. The third wave movement doesn't just end at selecting and roasting a great coffee bean. Chiasso's teams of baristas go through a rigorous training program to ensure each drink is executed perfectly. This training covers everything from achieving the optimal temperature of the milk to extract the perfect amount of sweetness, to perfecting the art of pouring the perfect Rosetta for your latte.
