He didn’t like coffee and he now owns a coffee roastery: the story of Francesco Anastasi and Santaromero.

We all drink it, but its journey is as clear as the beverage itself: Coffee.How can we make its chain shorter? What does it look like when you start a small scale coffee roastery? How does the origin of the coffee impact its taste? How is the price of coffee regulated on an international level? Today we will talk about coffee. In particular we will have a nice conversation with Francesco Anastasi. Francesco graduated at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo Italy in 2014, where we also got to know each other (I studied at UNISG myself). After working for 7 years at Slow Food International, he has founded together with his partner Gabriella, Santaromero, single origin Colombian coffee roastery based in Turin. So pour yourself your favourite brew and let’s get over to Francesco!
