The Rosso Difference
Award-Winning Quality
Rosso Coffee Roasters has an award-winning legacy that speaks volumes about our commitment to quality and excellence. Our team has achieved remarkable success on the global stage, with multiple national and world championships. From the 2024 World Barista Champion, Mikael Jasin from Indonesia, to the 2023 World Barista Champion, Boram Um from Brazil, our champions exemplify our passion for coffee. We take pride in training, coaching, and roasting the coffee that has helped these champions reach the pinnacle of success.
Meticulous Sorting Process
We are one of the only roasters in North America that meticulously sorts both our green and roasted beans. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, we take a picture of every single bean and remove any that do not meet our high standards. This process ensures that every cup of Rosso coffee is free from flaws, defects, and quakers, delivering unparalleled quality and an extraordinary coffee experience.
Building Strong Partnerships
Lasting Partnerships with Producers
At Rosso, we value long-term relationships with coffee producers who prioritize quality. We make annual trips to our partner farms to personally select the beans we offer and work together on innovative techniques to elevate the coffee experience. Our collaborative approach ensures that we consistently deliver the best coffee to our partners.
Sustainable Sourcing Practices
We are committed to sustainable sourcing practices that benefit both the environment and the communities we work with. By visiting our partner farms annually, we ensure they follow fair and organic practices. We also allow our farm partners to dictate their prices and be part of the negotiation process, committing to purchasing their coffee for a minimum of five years. This approach guarantees a stable future for our producers and high-quality coffee for our partners.
Comprehensive Training and Support
World-Class Training Program
Our coffee training program is designed to ensure your team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide the best cup of coffee to all your visitors and staff. Whether you are just starting out or looking to enhance your existing coffee program, we offer initial training visits, supported over the first two days (four hours per day), and bi-monthly training visits to support both new and current staff. Our training covers everything from barista skills to operational efficiencies.
Operational Support
We provide extensive support to help you run your café smoothly and efficiently. Our team will assist with waste management to ensure profitability and sustainability, and offer operational training to troubleshoot and understand the functionality of your coffee machines. This support ensures your equipment delivers consistently great coffee every day.
Eco-Sustainability and Community Support
Eco-Sustainability Initiatives
At Rosso, we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact. We track and measure all CO2 emissions annually and use plant-based materials for our whole bean packaging. Our cafés follow the best waste management standards created by the City of Calgary’s waste management team, ensuring we operate sustainably within the given infrastructure limits. Additionally, Rosso Coffee is a certified BCorp, demonstrating our commitment to meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
