About Caffe Doge
“We perform the alchemy of roasting and mixing different varieties of coffee according to time honored tradition in order to obtain something fleeting, ephemeral, just for the pleasure, for the taste of the perfect cup of Venetian espresso.” - Bernardo Della Mea
It was the Venetians who first introduced Europe to coffee in 1615. By 1761, Venice had become the coffee capital of Italy with one coffee shop for every 500 inhabitants. It is this of deep-rooted history that Caffè del Doge was born.
Welcome to Caffe Doge
Ermengildo Rizzardini opened the Torrefazione Artigiano ExtraDoge in 1952, cold blending and light roasting his coffee “Venetian style.”
Today, a stone’s throw away from the historic Rialto Bridge, the celebrated artisan coffee roasters of Caffè del Doge passionately carry on the traditions of Signóre Rizzardini, While the secrets of the antique art of Venetian coffee roasting are fiercely protected, it is known that the beans are roasted separately and removed from the flame for the last 4 minutes of the process. This “light roasting” is one reason Caffè del Doge’s traditional Venetian flavor is one of simplicity, grand aromas and low acidity.
