Here are the countries that produce the most"},"content":{"rendered":"

Have you ever wondered <\/span>where coffee is grown<\/b>? This exquisite beverage, which you practically take for granted, is actually the fruit of a real <\/span>supply chain that originates in faraway countries<\/b>. Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Peru are just some of the states known for their rich coffee production.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the <\/span>particularly favourable climate<\/b> they have, in fact, these lands have managed to create the <\/span>finest blends<\/b> and the <\/span>most intense aromas<\/b>: a record that unfortunately Italy is very unlikely to achieve, although attempts at cultivation have been made here too. Having clarified this, therefore, let us discover together which are the <\/span>world’s largest coffee producers<\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Brazil<\/b><\/h2>\n

Let us start with the country that holds the record for world coffee production: <\/span>Brazil<\/b>. With its <\/span>3 million tonnes per year<\/b>, it has broken all records, becoming famous not only for the quantity, but also (and above all!) for the <\/span>quality of its blends<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arabica<\/b>, <\/span>Cohillon<\/b> (i.e., the local version of the better known <\/span>Robusta<\/b>) and <\/span>Bourbon Santos<\/b> are the three workhorses that have made Brazil the <\/span>world’s most important coffee producer<\/b>. That said, if you would like to enjoy one of these exquisite blends, remember that it is important to <\/span>prepare them with the right machine<\/b>, such as one of our <\/span>lever machines<\/b>. In this regard, we invite you to consult our catalogue and <\/span>discover the right coffee machine for you<\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Peru<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you are irresistibly attracted to <\/span>Arabica blends<\/b> (and we, who know about coffee, can understand you very well!), your country of reference is definitely <\/span>Peru<\/b>. This is where the <\/span>best Arabica quality coffee<\/b> you can taste is grown, characterised by a <\/span>sweet and delicate aroma<\/b> that is unmatched anywhere else in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colombia<\/b><\/h2>\n

We stay in Latin America but move to sunny and colourful <\/span>Colombia<\/b>. This country is known for being the <\/span>second largest producer of coffee<\/b> after the aforementioned Brazil, but its blends are so good that they rival, if not surpass, it in quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Distinguished by the initials <\/span>M.A.M<\/b>, from the names of the three centres where they are grown (<\/span>Medellin, Armenia, Manizales<\/b>), they are called <\/span>Medellin<\/b> and <\/span>Armenia<\/b>. The former is known for its <\/span>full-bodied<\/b> flavour, the latter for a <\/span>distinctly milder aroma<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ivory Coast<\/b><\/h2>\n

Latin America is not the only continent known for its coffee production. In Africa, for example, <\/span>the Ivory Coast<\/b> is able to produce such quantities of coffee that it is able to meet a <\/span>large part of the world’s needs<\/b>. Its best known and most appreciated quality is undoubtedly <\/span>Robusta<\/b>, but <\/span>Arabusta<\/b> is also worth mentioning: a <\/span>blend of Arabica and Robusta<\/b>, particularly in demand on the French market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamaica<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jamaica deserves a separate mention as it produces the <\/span>finest coffee in the Caribbean<\/b>. Grown in the mountainous areas, it is known for the <\/span>countless qualities of its blends<\/b>, which include <\/span>Blue Mountain, High Mountain, Jamaica Mountain Choice and Prima Washed<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mexico<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"coltivazione<\/p>\n

With more than <\/span>100,000 coffee plantations<\/b> scattered throughout its territory, Mexico rightly ranks among the <\/span>world’s largest producers<\/b>. Among its best-known and most popular blends are <\/span>Altura Coatepec<\/b>, characterised by a delicate body and a delicious <\/span>chocolate flavour<\/b>, and <\/span>Pluma Coffee<\/b>, renowned for its <\/span>particularly rich aroma<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Venezuela<\/b><\/h2>\n

Still in Latin America, we find yet another country known for producing excellent quality blends, considered <\/span>among the best in the world<\/b>. We are talking about <\/span>Venezuela<\/b>, famous for a series of coffees called <\/span>‘Maracaibo’<\/b> and divided into the blends <\/span>Meridas, Caracas, Caracas Blue, Tachiras and Cucuta<\/b>. Each is known for producing a coffee with a particularly <\/span>sweet and delicate aroma<\/b>, characterised by a light taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hawaii<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although not one of the most famous coffee producers, the <\/span>Hawaiian Islands<\/b> nevertheless deserve to be mentioned for a particular variety produced exclusively in their territory. This is the well-known <\/span>Kona coffee<\/b>: a peculiar blend whose plant grows on the slopes of the (still active) <\/span>Mauna Loa volcano<\/b> and is characterised by a medium body, an <\/span>intense aroma,<\/b> and a rich <\/span>aromatic bouquet<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vietnam<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although the main production of this country is rice, <\/span>coffee<\/b> takes <\/span>second place<\/b>. In fact, <\/span>more than<\/b> two million tonnes of coffee<\/b> are harvested in <\/span>Vietnam<\/b> and exported all over the world, almost all of them of <\/span>Robusta<\/b> quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burundi<\/b><\/h2>\n

Burundi is mainly home to coffee plantations of <\/span>Arabica and Robusta<\/b> qualities. The former, in particular, is exported mainly to the <\/span>United States<\/b>, where it is particularly appreciated because of its <\/span>full-bodied<\/b> nature. Being a very poor country, Burundi also considers its coffee production as a <\/span>real resource<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Costa Rica<\/b><\/h2>\n

Coffee production in <\/span>Costa Rica<\/b> developed at the <\/span>end of the 18th century<\/b>, when the first plants were imported from <\/span>neighbouring Cuba<\/b>. What really makes the history of coffee in this country special, however, is the <\/span>prohibition to cultivate species of the Robusta quality<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The remaining blends, on the other hand, have given rise to some of the <\/span>most popular coffees in the world<\/b>, known for their sweet body characterised by a pronounced acidity. Their names are: <\/span>San Marcos of Tarrazu<\/b>, <\/span>Tres Rios, Heredia and Alajuela<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sumatra<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sumatra<\/b> is a paradisiacal Indonesian island known for producing two of the world’s best-known and most appreciated coffees: <\/span>Mandheling and Ankola<\/b>. Both dry-processed, they come from <\/span>plants that are cultivated and harvested by hand<\/b>, generating a coffee with a <\/span>really strong taste<\/b>, to the point that it is advisable to mix it with a little milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Italy<\/b><\/h2>\n

We conclude our compendium of the best-known coffee producers by also mentioning <\/span>Italy<\/b> where, as we already told you in the introduction, an attempt at cultivation has been made. In <\/span>2018<\/b>, in fact, a pioneer named <\/span>Rosolino Palazzolo<\/b> started a <\/span>small coffee cultivation in Sicily<\/b>, taking advantage of the favourable climate of this region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although he managed to harvest and roast a certain amount of beans, producing them on a large scale would have been unthinkable due to the <\/span>huge costs<\/b>. Nevertheless, that first, small harvest officially marked the birth of <\/span>‘made in Italy’<\/i><\/b> coffee<\/b>: an event that absolutely deserved to be mentioned in our ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n

Reading the names of all the exquisite blends we have mentioned, you will undoubtedly have a craving for a cup of coffee. Regardless of which aroma you decide to savour, always remember that the credit for this indispensable pleasure goes to the <\/span>countries that cultivate the raw material<\/b>, among which, unfortunately, <\/span>Italy does not feature<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our country, however, can boast other records, which concern the <\/span>tools used to prepare coffee<\/b>. If the very Italian <\/span>Alfonso Bialetti<\/b> invented the <\/span>Moka<\/b> pot, his compatriot <\/span>Angelo Moriondo<\/b> has the merit of having designed the <\/span>first coffee machine<\/b>, back in <\/span>1884<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many years have passed since then and these machines have evolved and improved, to the point that today you are spoilt for choice. After all, <\/span>if you want to drink a good cup of coffee, you have to do it with the right machine<\/b>, and the aforementioned <\/span>lever machines<\/b> certainly hold this supremacy: perfect if you want to enjoy your favourite blends at <\/span>100% of their taste<\/b>. So don’t wait any longer and choose the right coffee machine for you now!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
