Chiasso Coffee Roasters
Established:1997
Location: Auckland
Website: chiasso.co.nz
Business mission: “To consistently produce exceptional coffee in a sustainable way.“
At the same time we had outgrown our premises in Devonport and were setting up a new roastery in Hillcrest to allow the business to continue to grow. It was a busy time!
“Our 2 cafes have been customers of Chiasso Coffee for 6 years plus and 5 years respectively, using very high volumes of coffee per week over 2 blends – Milano and Dolce. Over this period the Chiasso team have without exception provided consistently great coffee, equipment, service, training, support, maintenance and delivery – nothing is a problem. We value this consistency as it gives us confidence and certainty in one element, probably the most crucial element, of our café business to the extent that we have a no questions asked replacement policy for our coffees (which is rarely ever invoked). Our customers also value the consistency as that is what they expect from a great coffee and café partnership. The values and attitudes that Chiasso bring to their business ensure that you know from the outset that they are a family-run business, they care and will not let you down. Seriously good people, seriously good coffee!”
Narly K reviewed Chiasso Coffee Roasters Devonport — 5 star October 29, 2014 · Chiasso’s Milano beans are so awesome, they improve my marriage: When my wife is grumpy, 99% of the time I know what the problem is – we’re out of Milano beans. Kids screaming, dog eating household objects, missing mortgage payments – these all pale in comparison to the look I get when my wife spots that the grinder is woefully beanless.
When I get one of *those* looks, I back towards the front door slowly, hop on my (very unmanly red 50cc) scooter, and pray like hell to the coffee gods that Chiasso is still open (if it’s not open, then it’s usually safer for me to sleep on the street – coming home without beans simply isn’t an option, and it actually smells rather nice when sleeping on the pavement outside Devonport Chocolates…) When I’m within 200m of the store, Amy’s spidey senses kick in and somehow she knows I’m on the way in. I’m barely through the Chiasso front door when I hear Amy saying “250g Milano beans – ready for you!”
As I clutch the beans on the way home, I know that my marriage is safe (at least for another week or so…) (Bonus points – the awesome young dude who works on the weekend always gives my kids a marshmallow when I’m picking up marriage-enhancing-coffee-beans. So not only does Chiasso make me a better husband, it makes me a better dad.)
That’s admittedly one of the better stories but there are some other great ones too… too many to list here. Check out our FB page!
