a small private family owned company Cafe' D'arte.
I have been buying their beans for several years. They are friendly and have a syrup supply and sell espresso machines and provide training too.
I had one time planned to have my own espresso stand. Financial difficulties prevented that from happening. I just buy espresso beans and drink only that kind.
I might buy from that large competitor but only if I am desperate and can't find a stand to sell me a cup.
That means I have to make my own espresso at home. I prefer it that way because I drink mostly iced vanilla latte even in the winter. Except now, it is too cold for me so I must drink hot vanilla latte! brrr !
Anyone else buy from a private small company?
