Capsule producer and distributor for large-scale retail

BestEspresso S.p.a.

Capsule producer and distributor for large-scale retail

Best Espresso, between tradition and dynamism. The art of coffee at its best, thanks to two Veneto companies working in perfect synergy.

Best Espresso Spa was founded in 2010 by partners with many years of experience as producers of coffee capsules and in the trade of compatible coffee and soluble capsules for Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, A Modo Mio, Caffitaly, Bialetti, Espresso Point, Fap 14 grams and Uno System.

In a short time Best Espresso established itself on the Italian and international markets thanks to new patents and brands, and to new ideas in compatible capsules, developing high-quality products and seeking perfect compatibility with the systems on the market.

Producer of compatible and soluble coffee capsules: a leader on national and international markets for large-scale retail.

«The quality of our products is very high, and our commitment over time has always been to reach that goal», says company President Renato Rossini. «We succeeded above all because we control the entire production chain.»

CEO Maurizio Arcolin adds: «You need to know the machines well and invest in modernising them in order to produce capsules at their best, and you also need to know how to assemble them so that the quality of the product stands out. Experimenting on the machines, as well as on the blends and the raw materials, is just as useful for productions of a high quality level.»

Today Best Espresso holds very important national and international contracts and is present in several countries besides Italy. «We are present», says Rossini, «in Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Israel, Poland, Serbia and Macedonia.»

The company has 65 people and produces 2,150 coffee capsules a minute, still growing with new patents and flexible market strategies, for a coffee throughput of 85,000 kg a month. Besides its own brands, it also manufactures products and private labels for retail and commercial chains, as a distributor of compatible capsules for large-scale retail.

Close work with engineering studios supports the continuous search for ever more reliable materials. FDA certifications for the plastics and the colours used allow the products to be sold worldwide. The Bios certification, obtained for coffee and barley, widens the range for the most demanding customers, as does the Kosher certificate. The company is also ISO 9001 certified.

What sets Best Espresso apart

High product quality, obtained by following every stage of the production chain and by investing in modern machinery, is the strength of the Veneto company. Best Espresso Spa and Marzotto Srl: forty years of company history meet the initiative of a young business. A team that reaches excellence with passion.

The company is proud of Made in Italy: the partners it works with for raw materials (coffee and solubles), machinery, capsules, boxes and packaging are Italian. The main aim is quality at the right price for the end consumer: valid alternatives without taking anything away from the quality of the product sold.

In 2016, President Rossini continues, precisely in order to keep an ever firmer hold on the whole production chain, Best Espresso acquired the roaster Marzotto Srl. It is an old company, born in the 1970s as a coffee roaster, which in the 1980s also began to work with barley by acquiring Portorico Caffè, a historic Vicenza company active in the sector since 1933.

Over the years Marzotto Srl became an industrial producer able to guarantee a selected product of high and consistent quality, with historic brands including Orzo Buono, Bondi, Portorico, L’Arte del Caffè, Udinese Caffè, Marzotto and Dott. Mozzi. The blends are selected and studied with great care by specialists who constantly follow the harvests in the growing countries.

For barley, the process starts from cultivation of the product itself; for coffee, from direct import. It then continues through every stage of the chain, until the finished product is ready to be packed and distributed. Besides contract manufacturing, the company offers a complete service for private labels. Production starts from excellent raw materials: green coffee imported directly from countries such as Brazil, Ethiopia, Jamaica, Angola and others, and pearl barley grown exclusively in Italy. All products are roasted and prepared in the company’s own plant.

Maurizio Arcolin: «To obtain quality products you have to work with passion. That enthusiasm is reflected in the result, and in a finished product you fall for because of its excellent qualities. The partnership between Best and Marzotto strengthens the final product: Marzotto’s tradition meets the freshness and dynamism of Best. It is a winning meeting, and its voice keeps growing on the markets. Today communication moves towards emotion and experience: people buy what “transmits something”, a product with an added value, one that binds emotionally to the consumer. In the coffee cup all of this is filtered very well: the enthusiasm, the care in choosing the raw material, the attention and the passion of the people involved. A positive experience that reaches both the cup and the capsule.»

President Rossini concludes: «For the future we aim at further certifications and at renewing those we already hold, recognitions that confirm the excellent quality of our productions. Above all we aim to convey the right emotions to the customer, to confirm the effective communication that leads to certificates and to results such as the official Nielsen 2018 figures, which place us among the leading producers in sales of compatible capsules in traditional and large-scale retail.»
