Nowhere else in Italy people drink so much coffee as in the northern Italian port city.

The "nero" is the most popular drink in the countless bars, coffee houses and confectioneries - allegedly 1500 cups per capita and year are passed over the counters! Of course, Trieste is also home to many small and large roasting companies, such as the family-owned Illy, which has been roasting the beans of the coffee bush since 1933 and has even founded its own coffee university. In the port of Trieste, after Genoa the largest trans-shipment point for green coffee in Italy, 40,000 square meters alone are dedicated to the coffee trade. Those who drink more than 10 cups of the stimulating beverage are also experts in taste and value high quality. This is ensured by the analytical control of the green coffee as well as the roasted beans. Under no circumstances should enjoyment be diminished by pesticide residues, mycotoxins, heavy metals or acrylamide and furan caused by faulty roasting.

AGROLAB Italia is therefore an important partner for coffee importers, small and large roasters in Italy, and helps with analytical expertise to ensure that baristas can put a perfectly brewed "nero" or "capo" on the counter for fragrant coffee lovers, not only in Trieste.

YOUR PLUS: The analysis of coffee is an important part of the analytical service package of our laboratory site AGROLAB Italia S.r.l. in Vincenza.
