The origins:
the aroma of coffee
between art and culture
The name Orlando embodies a history that
has its roots in four generations of
passion and dedication to coffee of the very
highest quality.
It all began way back in 1923, in the historic
heart of the city of Lecce, when Alfredo
Orlando, together with his family, founded
his coffee roasting business, one of the first in the city.
They were pioneers, the first to transform coffee
into an art form, roasting and serving it with the love and
care that only an authentic tradition can
bestow.

hot-air roasting
Hot-air coffee roasting is a gentle and precise roasting process.
The coffee beans are heated by streams of hot air, which envelop them evenly, without direct contact with the intense heat of a traditional drum.
This allows for a more uniform roast and less exposure to high temperatures, reducing the risk of altering the coffee’s organoleptic characteristics. One of the main advantages of this technique is the reduction in the formation of acrylamide, a substance that can be generated during the roasting process at high temperatures. Hot air allows for better control of the temperature and heating rate, preventing overheating that could lead to the production of undesirable compounds.
In this way, hot-air roasting not only preserves the quality and freshness of the coffee, but also helps to keep its natural aromas intact, resulting in a purer, flavour-rich and safer beverage.
An art that combines tradition and innovation, for a coffee with an unmistakable taste.
