About Specialty Cafètiere
Specialty Cafetiere was founded by Paolo Giovinazzo and his cousin Mauro Laruffa.
Paolo is a 20 years experience coffee roaster and director of Caffè Cannizzaro coffee company in the south of Italy.
In 2019, he decided to accept Mauro’s challenge with the dream of sharing a strong passion for coffee and innovative ideas in the United Kingdom as well.
BEHIND SPECIALTY CAFÈTIERE
Hi, my name is Mauro and I am a coffee lover!
My passion for coffee bloomed in 2015 when I moved to London and I started my first experience in a restaurant as a bar back. Believe me or not, after a life spent in an office buried in paperwork!
Coffee is like life, unpredictable. And this passion will never fade away.
Have a thought: how many variables are there behind that cup of coffee you drink every morning?
So, follow me! Life is an endless trip looking for the perfect cup of coffee…
Hey, My name is Paolo and I am a Coffee Roaster.
My special relation with coffee starts when I was 10, climbing those mountains of Jute bags full of green coffee ready to blended and roasted for delicious espressos. After the secondary school I have started a full time job for our family business, and after 20 years, yes, I am still here, part of this exciting new project. I’m the owner of Caffè Cannizzaro.

WE DO SPECIALTY COFFEE
We guide you throught the specialty methods, tools and techniques to extract the best flavours from our delicious products.
FILTER ROAST
All the products available on our online shop are roasted for filter. The goal is to produce a cleaner picture of a coffee’s unique taste, that can be objectively identified, e.g. Hazelnut or Apricot, creating then a sweeter cup.
They are suited to a slow extraction using a Cafetiere, V60 dripper, Chemex, Aeropress, Clever dripper and other filter methods with complex and fruity flavours being prominent.
ESPRESSO ROAST
Roasted slightly hotter and for a longer period of time, great for people are looking for more body and less acidity in their coffee.
