Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)

  „Traditional Italian is what Torrefazione is (and always has been) about. Walk into any Torrefazione Italia location and order a cappuccino served in the company’s fine Italian Deruta ceramic cups and you’ll be transported. The company’s Pioneer Square location is wonderful because of the neighborhood’s history and its proximity to several of Seattle’s best sights for tourists. Torrefazione also has locations in Seattle’s financial district (downtown on 1310 4th Ave., between Union and University), the quirky, ever-changing Fremont neighborhood on 701 N.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „With the recent acquisition of Seattle Coffee Co., which includes the Seattle’s Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia brands, Starbucks seems to think there is no such thing as too big. In fact, the deal, which gives Starbucks 150 more cafés and wholesale distribution to airports, hotels and grocery stores, is just the tip of the latte for the international chain. According to a recent report from Reuters, Starbucks says it will continue to spread across the country and eventually boost its number of overseas shops to as many as 15,000. “We don’t know a market we’ve ever saturated,” CEO Orin Smith told shareholders at the company’s annual meeting in Seattle a few months ago.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Questions and Answers, What is Italian espresso like?

  „They told me that a typical Italian espresso tastes like a good double espresso from the Torrefazione coffee house chain in the USA. To me that means that Italian espressos are not good because the best espresso from Torrefazione is bad compared to the best of Barefoot, Stumptown, Vivace, Zoka, Hines, Vita etc. (Note: these folks were taking about the 2004 Torrefazione).“
