Caffè Roen is an artisan coffee roasting company founded in 1979 in Pacengo di Lazise by Sergio Bendinelli, specializing in the supply of high quality espresso coffee for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector. Having moved to Affi in 1997, the company offers fresh coffee thanks to production on demand and the grinding of beans at the time of use. With a wide range of award-winning blends, Caffè Roen guarantees a rich and aromatic espresso, satisfying the needs of the most demanding customers and also offering workshops and tastings.
Who are we?
Caffè Roen was founded in 1979 in Pacengo di Lazise, in the province of Verona, on the beautiful shores of Lake Garda. Founded by Sergio Bendinelli, our artisanal roasting company has always been dedicated to the production of superior quality espresso coffee.
Our mission is to turn coffee into an art, combining passion, dedication and innovation to offer our customers an exceptional product. Over the years, our roasting company has grown and evolved. Initially, Sergio used a small roasting machine to perfect the blends and start production mainly for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector.
The quality of our coffees and our reliability have won over a growing number of customers, we have become their trusted coffee supplier, and this has prompted us to invest more and more in research and development. In 1997, the relocation of the roasting plant to Affi marked a major change.
The new premises housed state-of-the-art production facilities, such as our low-temperature roaster, and saw the introduction of a tasting and training room. This step allowed us to broaden our horizon and open up to foreign markets, thanks also to the entry of Enrico, Sergio’s son, who has a degree in languages and specialises in exports.
Today, Caffè Roen is a reference point for coffee lovers. In our shop with tasting room, we offer the opportunity to taste our fine blends and to participate in workshops, courses and guided tastings. Our passion for coffee is visible in every cup we serve and in the service we provide.
Our coffee supply service
Our founder, Sergio Bendinelli, started his adventure in the world of coffee in 1979 with a clear and ambitious vision: to become a high quality coffee producer and supplier to the Ho.Re.Ca. sector.
Sergio has dedicated his career to selecting the best coffee varieties from the world’s most renowned regions. Thanks to his passion and expertise, he has created unique and sought-after blends to satisfy the most discerning palates. We continue to offer superior quality espresso coffee, carefully roasted at our site in the province of Verona by our experienced master roaster.
Our mission is to keep alive the tradition of excellence and innovation that Sergio established, providing our customers with coffee that represents the best of the coffee world, from the selection of raw materials to the final preparation.
Why choose Caffè Roen?
The advantages of choosing Caffè Roen as your trusted coffee supplier lie in the freshness of our product and the quality and variety of blends available.
The freshness of our coffee
When it comes to coffee, freshness is one of the most important aspects to guarantee a high quality product. Caffè Roen stands out for its commitment to producing each batch of coffee on demand, a process that ensures that every packet of coffee that reaches our customers is fresh.
This is a production method defined as Just in Time, which allows us to offer our customers maximum freshness and at the same time to avoid having large stocks of unsold roasted coffee, which would gradually lose its freshness and would no longer have the taste and aroma preservation characteristics that set us apart.
Freshly roasted coffee offers a richer and more complex flavour as the coffee beans continue to develop their aromas and flavours in the days following roasting.
Preserving this freshness is crucial to ensure that every cup of espresso you prepare is an extraordinary sensory experience. With Caffè Roen, you can be sure that your coffee is roasted at the right time and packed and delivered in the shortest possible time, to offer you an espresso that expresses all the richness and quality of our award-winning blends.
Whole beans
Another reason to choose Caffè Roen is our commitment to quality coffee beans. We offer our coffees in whole beans, rather than ground, to ensure that every customer gets the most out of their coffee experience.
Whole beans retain all the organoleptic properties of coffee, such as taste, aroma and freshness, much longer than ground coffee. Grinding only takes place at the time of use, preventing oxidation that can compromise the taste and aroma of the coffee.
Grinding the beans immediately before coffee preparation preserves the quality of the blend, keeping intact the essential oils and aromatic compounds that contribute to the creaminess and richness of espresso coffee.
This approach ensures that every cup of coffee you brew is characterised by a thick, velvety crema and a complex, balanced flavour that reflects our commitment to excellence.
Our award-winning blends
Caffè Roen is proud of its award-winning blends, which masterfully combine Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from different regions of the world.
Our blends are the result of years of experience and a rigorous selection of the best coffee varieties, created to offer an espresso that stands out for its rich aroma and full flavour.
Discover our 100% Arabica: Espresso Bendinelli’s 100% Arabica Gourmet Coffee and Caffè Roen’s 100% Arabica Coffee. Our Extra Bar the flagship blend of Roen coffee, specially designed for professional use, composed of 80% Arabica and 20% robusta.
Perfect not only for espresso but also for cappuccino. Extra Bar produces a smooth and creamy espresso with a strong and balanced taste. Thanks to the skilful blending of high-quality natural American Arabicas and Asian robustas, Extra Bar is characterised by a pronounced note of dried fruit and cocoa and a moderate acidity, which make it especially appreciated by those seeking espresso with a classic Italian taste.
Our blends are carefully balanced to offer superior quality that results in espresso coffee that not only meets the expectations of the most discerning customers, but can also surprise and delight those seeking a unique and memorable coffee experience.
The selection of the origins of the beans and the roasting techniques we use have been rewarded for their excellence and ability to create coffee that meets the needs of true coffee lovers. In conclusion, choosing Caffè Roen as your coffee supplier means opting for a coffee that offers freshness, quality and a superior sensory experience.
