Our History
Four generations, one passion.
Since 1942, the Marcozzi family has been carrying on a tradition of coffee, quality, and a connection to the local community.
1942
The Origins, in Teramo
The history of Marcafè began in 1942 with an idea by Silvestro Marcozzi, a man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for his work, who owned a food wholesale business in Teramo.
1955
The First Roasting
In order to meet his customers’ needs, he decided to install a coffee roaster in the store; the idea was extremely well received and recognized as a real success.
The Second Generation
A Growing Passion
Over time, the coffee roasting business grew, and management passed to the sons of Mr. Silvestro, Vittorio and Francesco. Francesco, in particular, drove the company’s growth and moved it to its new location in the Villa Pavone area.
1960
The Marcafè brand is launched
Thanks to the innate artistic talent and undeniable creativity of Giuliana Marcozzi, daughter of Francesco, the inspirational sketch for the Marcafè brand was conceived and created.

Closer to bars and restaurants
Later, in the late 1980s, management of the company passed to Vittorio, who established a new balance and, to expand the company’s presence throughout the region, directed its attention and effort toward bars and restaurants.

The Third Generation: A New Vision
In the late 1990s, the founder’s grandsons— Silvestro , and Emilio—joined the company with a business vision based on innovation, sustainability, and international expansion.
They are relocating their operations to the prestigious facility in Giulianova, a building designed specifically as an ideal location for meeting these requirements.

The Excellence of Italian Espresso
In addition to completely upgrading their equipment for roasting and production, they have set themselves a challenging goal: to select the finest Arabica and robusta coffees and create premium blends for export to help spread the culture and excellence of Italian espresso.

A Story That Connects with the World
That challenge became a reality, and thanks to research, the expertise, and the experience gained over the years, today Marcafè is a brand that is known and appreciated in as many as 25 countries around the world.
2012
Sharing the Culture of Coffee
To promote coffee culture and share specific knowledge and skills, the Coffee Academy was founded— a program designed for both coffee enthusiasts and professionals.
Through the SCA-certified international training program.
Today
The Fourth Generation
The same passion. A new vision.
The fourth generation joined the previous one with the arrival of Vittorio and Martina Marcozzi.
Vittorio is leading the renewal of marketing and communications, while Martina continues, alongside her father Emilio, to develop foreign markets and exports. This generational transition brings energy and vision, while remaining true to the family’s roots.
