1kg whole bean coffee and Ho.Re.Ca pro packs.
Bristot coffee beans by size
In 1918 , a young man from Belluno, Domenico Bristot , went to Vienna where he was fascinated by Viennese coffee houses—the exchange of ideas, the aromas, the art of living around a cup of coffee. Returning to Belluno , at the foot of the Dolomites , he founded Torrefazione Bristot in 1919 , with a simple conviction: to cultivate artisanal excellence through slow roasting that respects the bean.
More than a century later, Bristot has become the flagship brand of the Procaffè SpA group , which also includes the historic Italian brands Deorsola (Turin, 1920), Breda (Padua, 1921), Vescovi (Padua, 1927), and Testa Rossa . Since 2000 , Procaffè has been part of the Austrian group WEDL & Hofmann GmbH , guaranteeing Bristot financial stability and an international presence in over 65 countries . Approximately 65% of Procaffè's business is in the professional sector (Ho.Re.Ca., restaurants, hotels).
Bristot was named Torrefazione dell'Anno 2023-24 by the Guida Camaleonte (Italy's coffee guide), and its signature Tiziano 1919 Riserva Domenico Bristot blend was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the world's best coffees. The brand also operates the Bristot Coffee Academy , an SCA Premier Training Campus certified center with over 30 international trainers —one of the few in Europe. At Cafemalin, we stock the 1kg whole bean range designed for professionals and discerning enthusiasts: Classico Intenzo e Cremoso , Classico ORO , Americano Dark Roast , as well as the 6kg and 12 x 1kg pro packs .

The 4 most ordered Bristot products by our customers — Italian coffee beans from the Dolomites.
Bristot was founded in 1919 in Belluno (Italy), at the foot of the Dolomites, by Domenico Bristot. Fascinated by the Viennese coffee culture which he discovered in Vienna in 1918, the young man from Belluno decided to launch his own roastery with one conviction: to cultivate artisanal excellence through a slow roasting process that respects the bean.
The brand will thus celebrate its more than 105 years in 2026, and remains today the leading brand of the Italian group Procaffè SpA, integrated since 2000 into the Austrian group WEDL & Hofmann GmbH.
Bristot is roasted in Italy, at its historic factory in Belluno (Veneto), at the foot of the Dolomites. The green coffee is sourced from the main producing countries (Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, India, Guatemala, etc.) depending on the blends, then slowly roasted at low temperatures according to traditional Italian methods.
This method preserves the essential oils of the grain, develops the crema characteristic of Italian espresso and guarantees consistency in the cup recognized by Ho.Re.Ca professionals — approximately 65% of Procaffè's volume is intended for the professional market.
Classico Intenzo e Cremoso is the absolute best-seller in the Bristot range. A balanced Arabica + Robusta with a medium-dark roast, offering:
