Company description
Graffeo is one of North America's oldest artisan coffee roasters, and has been a mainstay in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood since 1935. It remains a family-run company passed down through generations. We keep it simple: one blend, two roasts, no shortcuts. Our precision-controlled fluid bed roaster uses warm air to heat beans evenly, resulting in a smooth, well-balanced coffee that's never bitter. Graffeo is the house blend at some of San Francisco’s finest restaurants.
Our approach is more than just providing a product; we strive to inspire through our story—from humble Italian-American immigrant beginnings in 1935 to becoming a staple in San Francisco’s food scene. With our unique fluid bed roasting method and signature blends, we’re passionate about educating our customers on the craft behind every cup.
