In 2020, we inaugurated the Ernani Academy, the academy with a 360-degree look at the world of coffee, in order to train professionals, but without excluding any coffee lovers or curious people, to grow together around the culture of good coffee.

Why did we create the Ernani Academy?

Torrefazione Ernani took shape from the desire of Luca and Claudia, two of the four founders, to be able to serve really good, intensely aromatic coffee without that classic burnt aftertaste and a strong bitter note.

Together with Paolo, the roaster of Caffè Ernani, they began the whole project with the desire to give a new life and a breath of fresh air to the Italian espresso.

The team’s continuous training and constant quest for improvement has given the staff a huge and unbridled passion for the roasted bean.

Having reached this point, it was obvious that we wanted to pass on all that we were learning and learning every day to you as well!

If we also consider the fact that practitioners often come from generational changes, where the craft is passed down through practical experience, and that’s just fine! However, you often lack the theoretical training behind you, which allows you to fully understand the variables of the bean and then know how to manipulate them to obtain an excellent and, above all, consistent product over time, without relying more on “chance.”

The Academy was mandatory, both for our clients and for all curious outsiders!

  1. Green Coffee – the course designed to acquire skills on the raw material processed, raw coffee, also called green coffee;
  2. Roasting – the perfect course to learn how to read the roasting curve and understand the different methods and levels;
  3. Cafeteria – the course suitable for professionals in the sector, to acquire knowledge on the raw material processed and on the extraction phase of the beverage;

  5. Espresso tasting – the course as a true sommelier, which will give you all the tools suitable for carrying out a complete organoleptic analysis of the espresso;

This week for all of us at Caffè Ernani is very special indeed, because tomorrow, Friday, March 15, the Brand will turn 9 years old!

They flew by in an instant, without even realizing it. it seems like just yesterday we were thinking about the opening of a Roastery, a time when everything seemed distant and complicated, though thrilling.

And now we have already arrived here, a brand with international reach, recognized for the quality of its products.

We wanted to celebrate this special day by involving you, too, with two initiatives:

  1. The release of the newest single-origin Arabica Specialty coffee: Uganda Rwenzori! An exceptional coffee, grown between 2000-2200m altitude, a height that gives a great and pleasant acidity to the extracted drink, reminiscent of a blackberry, also enhanced by water processing. The intense freshness is then balanced by a round, enveloping sweetness that brings back ripe yellow-fleshed fruit and caramel.
  2. Also offering a 20 percent discount exclusively for the day of Friday, March 15, on the entire Ernani catalog!

P.S. Read the article to the end to find out which discount code to use!

What are you waiting for? Try the new coffee at an unbeatable price!

Ernani’s history began in 2015, or rather the history of the café began in 1909 with the opening of the Historical Coffee Roasting Company in Milan, Corso Buenos Aires, 20, strengthened in the 1960s with the opening of Ernani Coffee Distribution: the owners went into partnership in the 1990s.

Over time the market has changed, quality has risen, and with it consumers have become more and more demanding and aware of what quality coffee means!

We could no longer continue working as in the past.

Thus Ernani was born, from the need to process and offer truly quality grains, free of defects, demonstrable in tasting and not just in words.

After a year of intense study, training and shadowing great professionals, the roasting plant in Desio came to life and the first Ernani coffees were served.

In the blink of an eye we got here…. Nearly in its first decade of operation, continuously growing, improving, increasing turnover, but most of all becoming more and more focused on the goodness of the beverage and popularizing to all of you what quality coffee really means, to learn how to recognize it for yourself and reward only those businesses that truly offer it!

In these nine years we have grown together, every day we learn a new notion, and soon after we create a video for you to discover and bring it back to you as well, because your knowledge is our mission and the key to success in the industry.

So many of you have supported us every day, stood by our side, trusted and enthused with us. Your passion and smiles after a sip of our coffee are the fuel that fuels our days.

So, Friday, March 15 is not only our birthday, but it is the perfect day to have another Ernani coffee all together, focusing on what coffee can give and how it is a constant companion in our lives.

And as an advertisement used to say-“And if it’s not good, what pleasure is it?”
So, to sum up, thank you!

Uganda Rwenzori – Specialty coffee

A single-origin smooth and full in flavor, dominated by the sweetness of fruit and the freshness of citrus.

Single-origin Uganda Rwenzori is an Arabica quality coffee, certified Specialty coffee.

Grown at an altitude between 2000-2200 asl.

The drupes, containing the kernels, are harvested by the picking method, then by hand, selecting only the cherries that are ripe at the right point. After that they are processed by the washed method, which imparts greater acidity and aromaticity to the extracted beverage. At the end of the process, the stripped grains are dried in the sun.

Once extracted there are intense aromas of hazelnuts and caramel that overwhelm you, immediately inviting you to taste.

Different aromas show up on the palate from time to time: immediately there is a sweetness given by the aromatic notes that peach in syrup, blackberry and caramel. Balancing the more sugary side is the acidity, expressed by the bergamot aroma. On the finish, however, there is a delicate and pleasant bitterness reminiscent of bitter cocoa.
N.B. A 20% discount code will be available on all Ernani products for Friday, March 15, 2024 only.

Please enter the code in your shopping cart

Two weeks ago we had introduced the IWCA, which is the International Women in Coffee Alliance.

Leggi l’articolo qui:

Instead, today we present the single-origin Specialty coffee belonging to the circuit: the Brazilian Women’s Coffee signed by Ernani Coffee.

Because the association not only promotes and publicizes the importance of supply chain sustainability, but also makes a concrete commitment to support the meticulous work done in the coffee’s countries of origin.

In addition, this Friday, March 8, as you know, will be International Women’s Day, so we wanted to take advantage of this date to let the widest possible audience know about the Association and its projects and concrete help, along with our Café.

For this reason, Caffè delle Donne will be available online at the Ernani Coffee Shop and in Torrefazione Ernani in Milan, Corso Buenos Aires, 20. Here you can either buy it for home or as a gift, or taste it in espresso.

Along with each package sold, we will combine a descriptive flyer about the Alliance and coffee, so you know exactly what it is and why it has such great value in the industry!

Description of “Women’s Cafe”

A socio-sustainable coffee with a sensual and feminine flavor profile, grown, harvested and processed by women.

Women’s Coffee is a single-origin from the Cachoeira farm in Brazil, grown, harvested, and processed from a pink plantation adhered to the IWCA.

More specifically, it is a Brazilian Santos, from the Minas Gerais area, famous for the high quality of coffees produced.

The larger cursor on the map below indicates exactly which region our coffee comes from. While the other sliders show the other coffee-growing areas of Brazil.

Everywhere, more and more women are becoming an essential part of the bean processing, occupying positions of power and revolutionizing the coffee world. To date, an estimated 70 percent of the workforce in the countries of origin is employed by women, and 25 percent of plantations are managed by women entrepreneurs.

Giving them importance and value by providing better social, economic and working conditions is no longer just important, it is crucial.

But back to us…

The Brazilian Santos Women’s Coffee selected by Ernani grows at an altitude of about 1000m asl, thus giving off pleasant and sweet aromas, which we will see in detail below.

The fruits, containing our kernels, are harvested with extreme care through picking, that is, hand picking drupe by drupe, selecting only those that are ripe at the right point, and processed afterwards using the washed method. Then the growers remove the husk and pulp in order to place the beans inside clean water pots to ferment. Finally, the grains are left to dry in the sun.

This will bring increased freshness and aromaticity during extraction.

It presents sweet notes of almond and red fruits, which are then balanced by a fresh and pleasant tartaric acidity, reminiscent of pink grapefruit.

Balancing this are softer notes of cocoa and nuts.

Suitable for

Those who seek a high-quality, fresh, fruity and citrusy single-origin Arabica, as well as socio-sustainable and Specialty coffee certified.

Compare it to other single-origin Ernani below!

Extraction tips

Espresso

Espresso extract we recommend a dose of 8.5/9g per person, to obtain an intense and creamy cup, and a water temperature of 93°C.

With this method the more acidic notes are enhanced, in addition to the development of a vast, intense and amazing aromatic profile.

Mocha pot

The coffee in this case is more sweet than acidic, with even a very slight hint of bitterness, absent in the espresso.

N.B. remember never to press the coffee inside the mocha filter and never to make the “mound” either! These steps do not make the coffee more intense, only more bitter and with a burnt aftertaste.

The coffee in the filter just needs to be leveled!

Paper filter

If extracted in a filter, the sweet notes are enhanced even more, while the acidity is more balanced. The aromatic notes of fruit in this case dominate the cup.

We recommend a Brew Ratio of 64g of mince to 1L of water and a temperature of 92°C.

Ernani Coffee and IWCA_Italy

We on the Ernani Coffee team strongly believe in gender equality.

In fact, our administrator is actually a woman: Claudia, without whom the whole machine could not move, an essential figure of the whole big family and a point of reference for the team, to say the least.

The other female figures are: Monia, Assistant Manager of Ernani’s Torrefazione in Milan; Alma, a great barista; Martina, a counter and cashier who is not yet 20 years old but already shows great professionalism, always working in Torrefazione.

And finally there’s me, Martina, Marketing, Social Media and E-commerce manager, passionate about coffee and especially proud to be part of this team, ready to prove how much us girls are worth in the business world.

Due giorni fa, ossia martedì 20 febbraio 2024, abbiamo commemorato la Giornata internazionale per la Giustizia Sociale. 


In questa occasione non potevamo che parlare dell’associazione che si occupa proprio di questo, della quale siamo soci e che certifica tutti quei caffè che offrono ai produttori ed agli acquirente una filiera equa e sostenibile per tutte le figure interessate. 


Sto parlando della IWCA global, ma più nello specifico della IWCA Italia, ossia l’Alleanza delle Donne nel Caffè con sede nazionale. 

 

Che cos’è?

L’idea che ha portato alla creazione di IWCA nasce nel 2003: alcune donne di Costa Rica, Nicaragua e Stati Uniti si unirono per migliorare tutti gli aspetti dell’industria del caffè, supportando l’empowerment femminile.


IWCA si impegna per consentire alle donne coinvolte nella coltivazione, lavorazione e distribuzione di caffè di raggiungere mezzi di sussistenza adeguati e sostenibili per sé e per le proprie famiglie.
Questo ha di conseguenza un impatto virtuoso su tutta l’economia globale perché una filiera etica genera un’economia circolare virtuosa e consumatori consapevoli.

Come abbiamo appena accennato Women in Coffee Italia è l’associazione italiana riconosciuta da IWCA global: la rete globale a sostegno delle donne lungo tutta la filiera produttiva del caffè, che ad oggi raggruppa 29 realtà. La stessa promuove partnership con organizzazioni come African Fine Coffee Association (AFCA) e International Coffee Organization (ICO), National Coffee Association (NCA), Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) e World Coffee Alliance (Alleanza mondiale del caffè) e simili.

Ogni stato aderente ha il suo capitolo nazionale, e quello italiano è stato fondato nel 2022 e ne siamo davvero orgogliosi!

In Europa siamo la seconda associazione del network, insieme alla filiale in Germania, con la quale si lavora congiuntamente per agevolare e promuovere l’importazione di un caffè etico e solidale in Europa. Ogni filiale locale aderisce al Protocollo di Formazione ufficiale di IWCA e implementa le proprie attività secondo le esigenze e i modelli economico-culturali locali.

Noi di Caffè Ernani abbiamo deciso subito di aderire, senza neanche pensarci. 

In più da quest’anno, nello specifico io, Martina, mi occupo anche della gestione dei social della stessa associazione. 

Il contesto

Il caffè è una bevanda fondamentale della nostra cultura e tradizione italiana, tanto da essere un elemento costantemente presente nella nostra quotidianità. Raramente però ci soffermiamo a pensare al lungo percorso che intercorre fra una drupa di caffè e la bevanda fumante della nostra tazzina. 

Anzi, alcuni di noi credono addirittura che il caffè cresca in Italia e soprattutto che nasca già marrone e pronto al consumo! (no, non è un’esagerazione ma una storia vera).  

Quindi hai mai pensato a quanti passaggi ci siano prima di poterti gustare una buona tazza di caffè? Semina, raccolta, lavorazione, essiccazione, selezione, trasporto, tostatura, confezionamento, distribuzione, macinatura ed estrazione.

Partiamo con il dire che il mondo del caffè è enorme, ed il settore ha un’importanza economica mondiale non indifferente. Ecco alcuni dati per comprenderne la vastità: 

  • Il caffè è la seconda materia prima più trattata al mondo dopo il petrolio
  • E la seconda bevanda più bevuta al mondo dopo l’acqua 
Ecco però un altro dato molto interessante: la maggioranza della forza lavoro della filiera è rappresentata da donne. 

Infatti il 70% degli addetti alla produzione è donna e circa il 25% delle aziende agricole sono gestite da imprenditrici.

Altrettanto spesso però la parità retributiva e sociale è ancora molto lontana. 
Per questo nasce IWCA: per sviluppare un network globale che unisce tutte le donne che hanno un ruolo attivo nella filiera produttiva del caffè con l’obiettivo di promuovere migliori condizioni di vita per loro stesse, le loro famiglie e la loro comunità.
Approfondisci meglio qui

Gli obiettivi 

L’associazione supporta l’autonomia professionale e finanziaria delle donne che lavorano in tutte le fasi della filiera del caffè. Lavora per la loro emancipazione, affinché possano migliorare le loro condizioni di vita.


Come?

Uniscono diverse realtà che operano nel settore del caffè e in quello dell’empowerment femminile, in modo etico e sostenibile: 
  • Incrementando il commercio in Italia di materie prime provenienti dal network IWCA, come il nostro Caffè delle Donne Brasile – Specilaty coffee 
  • Offrendo formazione professionale, certificata e agevolata alle donne lavoratrici
  • Sviluppando attività culturali e di informazione rivolte ai consumatori, per favorire la cultura del caffè nel rispetto dei diritti umani e della tutela ambientale
  • Promuovendo, sostenendo ed organizzando progetti volti all’incrementare l’empowerment femminile
  • Donando una parte dei proventi derivanti dalla vendita dei Caffè delle Donne alle stesse piantagioni, per innalzare sempre di più la qualità della materia prima e rinnovare stabilimenti, macchinari, attrezzature e/o migliorare le condizioni abitative e di supporto alle lavoratrici


I valori

  • Rispetto: l’identità di ogni persona è unica e ha valore, per questo si rispettano le idee di ognuno.
  • Sostenibilità: si sostengono azioni che promuovono l’armonia ambientale, sociale ed economica.
  • Equità: si incoraggia con azioni concrete l’equa allocazione delle risorse nel mondo. 
  • Integrità: si prendono tutte le decisioni rispettando i principi di onestà e integrità.
  • Collaborazione: si pensa che il modo migliore per dare un sostegno concreto alle comunità locali sia attraverso la collaborazione e la partnership.
  • Empowerment: si supportano le donne affinché realizzino il loro pieno potenziale.
  • Inclusione: si crede che attraverso la collaborazione di tutti si possa ottenere un cambiamento positivo per lo sviluppo di comunità autonome.
Una donna indipendente è libera e felice.

Le azioni concrete

This may sound strange, but the Ernani Roasting Laboratory was the last part attached to the company.

The Ernani Coffee brand did not yet exist, although all the members had been active in the coffee business for years.

But let’s start from the beginning!

1909

This was the year the Torrefazione opened in Milan.

To date, it is one of the most historic venues in the entire Lombard capital. Enclosed within its walls are memories, tales and real experiences of people increasingly fond of the steaming cup.

The early twentieth century represented a period of development, innovation and transformation for the city.

Not coincidentally, in the same year, the first tramway line was also inaugurated, passing right in front of the cafeteria, starting from Porta Venezia and going all the way to Viale Monza.

For this reason then we chose the color yellow for the Ernani brand, but not a random yellow, just that of the historic Milanese streetcars.

From 1909 to the present there have been generations and numerous changes of ownership, until 2002, when the first Ernani partners, Claudia and Luca, took over the Torrefazione in Corso Buenos Aires, 20, to now, in 2024, after 22 years in business and hopefully as many more in the future!

1998

Luca and Claudia, together with their partner Renzo, took over an important coffee distribution company to Ho.Re.Ca. customers: Caffè Sele srl, which has now become Ernani Distribuzione.

So first came precisely the Distribution of coffee for bars, cafeterias, ice cream parlors, pastry shops, restaurants, hotels, bed & breakfasts, caterers, pubs, etc.

Of course, Ernani Coffee was not being sold, but another brand of coffee.

And that is where the need for a new and improved café began to emerge….

From 1998 until about 2010 everything went smoothly and the company was growing steadily.

Coffee culture was virtually nonexistent, and the three partners first were unaware of what quality really meant.

“Secret” blends were a must for all roasters: the less the customer knew the better.

The goal was just to keep prices low and sell as much as possible. And they also succeeded…

By chance they came into contact with some figures who in 2010 began to popularize the world of coffee, thanks in part to the opening of the first elite academies, and the whole world hitherto built up by the old-generation roasters was slowly collapsing.

Secrets were no longer allowed; you had to be clear about what was inside the kilo package of coffee.

It was better to show instead of hiding.

The definition of “quality coffee” was beginning to come to life and become popular.

The founders then realized that what they were selling was not true quality coffee, in fact…

The first step was to immediately go and talk to the roaster at the time to find ways together to select higher-quality raw coffees, roast the coffee to a lighter level, and thus offer blemish-free coffee.

The roaster’s response was, “It’snot convenient for you, it would cost you all more for nothing, people don’t understand anything about coffee anyway…I don’t want to go down that road, I’d rather keep doing my own.”

Plan “A” went up in smoke within a day, and we had to start thinking about the alternative solution.

Only one could really work, however: open your own coffee roasting plant.

2015

So in 2015 “Ernani Production” was born, last, after Coffee Shop and Distribution, with the goal of selling, administering and popularizing quality coffee!

As a result, the Ernani Coffee Brand was created, thus changing all the insignia of the other related companies.

The Production Laboratory quickly became our home, our place of the heart, where the aroma of freshly roasted coffee blends with the passion for this raw material, where it is possible to play and experiment with beans and extraction methods, also becoming the place where the whole company team meets and unites with our customers and community!

Of course, it was not a quick and easy process; I would say quite the opposite.

Plans began in 2013, leading up to the 2015 inauguration, then continuing training and upgrades through 2022.

It took months, months and months of training, to fully understand the world of coffee and perform the roasting process flawlessly, without creating defects in the bean and especially understanding how to use to our advantage and manipulate every single variable, chemical, physical and thermal of the roast.

As of today we can finally consider the process completed and well underway, although in reality the work never ends! We are always adding new areas and rooms to increase experimentation and education, because we thirst for knowledge and every day can give us new curiosities that will make us appreciate the dark drink even more.

All this we want to bring to you with a strong social presence as well. Choose your favorite social media and start following us to learn about the all-around world of coffee:

2019

The last, at least for now, step for Caffè Ernani was the possibility of selling its coffee to individuals as well.

Because in order to jumpstart a revolution in the Italian coffee industry, it is not enough for baristas or coffee operators, you have to reach the end consumer as well!

So we created and opened our Online Shop, where you can buy and ship coffee all over Italy and all European Union countries, as well as opening the doors of the Roasting Laboratory for anyone who was from our area and wanted to buy coffee directly from us!

Here we can finally meet you in person and drink some coffee together!

Now we are excited about the next steps ahead, which we can’t wait to tell you about!
