Bravado’s Inspiration - Love at First Sip!

We were already in love with Italian coffee culture, when a few years ago we had the pleasure of meeting a descendant of Antonio Pascucci, the famous Italian coffee roaster on his visit to San Francisco. Soon after, we would be introduced to his family’s long tradition of quality coffee that started in 1883.

A month later, we traveled to Italy and had our first sip of Pascucci espresso and our love for coffee was transformed! By the end of the first cup, our passion for Italian coffee culture would manifest into Bravado, the first café to serve and distribute Pascucci coffee in the United States.

We are proud to bring the Pascucci family tradition from Monte Cerignone, Italy to San Francisco.


Pascucci, the World Leader of Coffee Roasting – It’s All in the Crackle!

Roasting coffee is both a science and an art. Pascucci coffee has spent over one hundred years perfecting the balance between the two. Today, they combine the art of coffee - listening to the crackling sound of roasting beans to determine their quality - with the modern day technologies that safeguards the purity of the coffee beans. The result is a harmonious blend of coffee beans that is scientifically tested to have a superior aroma, flavor and consistency.


Why “the Crackle” Matters

During the roasting process coffee makes a crackling sound - which combined with the right amount of time to get to the perfect bean color - makes it possible to determine when the coffee reaches its peak balance. Pascucci takes great care to produce and maintain the best possible roasting process available today.
