About

Founded in 2000 Casa Espresso has grown to become one of the most respected independently owned coffee roasting companies in Yorkshire.

Casa Espresso is a business born out of Italian passion and the quest to ensure people across the region are serving and drinking perfect cups of coffee.  We are a small close-knit team with many years of experience as working in the industry and baristas for speciality coffee shops.

The focus behind our roastery is to push our quality boundaries further than ever before. We are putting quality in the cup before everything else, using great quality green coffees and transforming them into fantastic roasted coffee that highlights their natural flavour profile.

By rigorously cupping, tasting and testing many samples from as many green coffee suppliers as possible and only handpicking the best we have ensured that we have greens that have fantastic potential as roasted coffee. These coffees have been selected for their great flavour profiles- sweetness, clarity and complexity being the prized attributes we were looking for.

For each of our speciality coffees, they are sample roasted in a variety of ways to ensure the best taste profile before they are allowed to be sold, and even then following roasts will be sampled to ensure the cup quality is maintained.

Dog and Hat

We are always on the lookout for top quality Yorkshire roasters to showcase here at Dog and Hat.  When a roaster supplies your local coffee shop and you get to taste their coffee regularly, it certainly makes things easier.  Casa Espresso are just such a roaster - in fact, they are so proud of this fine county that they can display 'The Yorkshire Mark' - the provenance mark for independent Food & Drink producers in Yorkshire.
