Heritage

Pioneers of the great Australian coffee industry. We have remained a family owned business since 1958.

The Beginning

It was in 1947, the Italian brothers Orazio and Carmelo first spotted an opportunity to introduce a taste of their Italian heritage to their new home, Australia. Beginning as a small family business importing products including mineral water, parmesan cheese and pasta to their adoptive country, they were longing for the much-loved Italian ritual of a daily espresso.

Vittoria Coffee Brand

They began supplying small batches of the finest quality Arabica coffee to Sydney's first Italian cafés and restaurants, with each blend personally created by the family. Today, thanks to owner and entrepreneurial CEO, Les Schirato AM, Vittoria Coffee has grown to become a household name and continues to set the standard for Australia's iconic café culture and obsession with coffee.

The caffettiera (or moka pot) is an excellent option for making coffee at home. It brews coffee by passing hot water pressurised by steam through ground coffee. . It consists of three chambers: the bottom one for water, middle chamber for ground coffee and top one for the final brew. . When the caffettiera is placed on the stove, the water heats up and generates steam in the bottom chamber. This increases the pressure in the chamber which forces the hot water up through the basket containing the ground coffee and into the top chamber where it is ready to be poured. . While some regard the coffee taste similar to espresso, the caffettiera only generates around 1.5 bars, nowhere near the nine bars achieved in traditional espresso machines. . But it’s a simple design that dates back to the 1930s. It’s also a lot more portable and the coffee taste is strong. It’s about as close as you can get to espresso without owning an actual espresso machine.
