A DROP OF HISTORY IN EVERY CUP
Costa coffee was first poured on our shores in 1971 at 9 Newport Street, London, by Sergio and Bruno Costa. Today, just a few metres away from where they first set up, the Costa Roastery produces the same unique Mocha Italia blend that the Costa brothers worked so hard to create. THE PERFECT COMBINATION
When you walk into a Costa store you'll notice it's different to other coffee shops. First of all, there's the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Then the great range of authentic coffee drinks. Next the Ferrari of coffee machines. And finally, the most passionate and well trained baristas around. It's this unique combination that makes us stand out from the others, and we're incredibly proud of it. THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IN A CUP OF COFFEE
Hand-making a cup of coffee is an art. It takes time and skill to perfect. That's why every single barista, in every single Costa store is professionally trained in the art of coffee by our experts. It's a little thing, but it makes a big difference, because it means you'll get a perfect cup of Costa coffee every time. A LITTLE TASTE OF ITALY Mocha Italia is the name Sergio and Bruno Costa gave to their own special blend of coffee beans 40 years ago. It's a unique blend as it manages to combine the sweetness, bitterness and body needed to make the perfect cup of coffee. As for the blend itself, that's a closely guarded secret, but you can enjoy a cup of its distinctive flavor and a warm Italian welcome at any of our Costa coffee shops. WORTH WAITING FOR
There are some things in life that should never be rushed, coffee being one of them. That's why we only ever slow-roast our coffee beans - to bring out a fuller flavour and stronger aroma. It's a traditional process that takes a little longer, but it's well worth the wait.
