About Mr. Espresso

Established in 1978 by Carlo Di Ruocco, Mr. Espresso is a specialty coffee roasting company that has stayed true to their Italian roots and culture as the first and only U.S. coffee company to use a traditional wood-roasting method. This technique results in high moisture content and an increased retention of natural oils, producing a complex and full-bodied espresso with less acidity. Mr. Espresso features a lineup of single origin coffees, espresso blends, and house blends with organic and fair trade options, as well as several decaffeinated blends. In addition to its premium coffees, Mr. Espresso also hosts a large variety of imported espresso equipment for sale from top Italian manufacturers such as Mazzer and Macap, and as the exclusive distributor of Faema espresso machines in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Hawaii. All machines are UL and NSF standard approved. Offering wholesale beans, high-quality espresso equipment, and service and training support, Mr. Espresso made its mark as one of the first full-service coffee roasting retailers in the market and has since become a Bay Area institution, serving a sizable share of coffeehouses and restaurants in San Francisco Bay area and beyond. Mr. Espresso continues to be family-owned and operated with two generations of Di Ruoccos working together in the Oakland showroom and roasting facility to ensure that what Carlo Di Ruocco began over 30 years ago continues striking that wonderful balance between time-honored traditional methods and the emerging trends of the marketplace.
