We must regretfully inform our customers of the sudden passing of our long time Service Manager, Don Muniz, due to heart-related complications. Don ran our Service Department from 1987 through June of this year, doing overhauls and repairs, and assisting customers with parts and service inquiries. Don's first foray in to the world of espresso machine repair occurred one day circa 1968, when he came to our North Beach location for an Espresso and our Gaggia Espresso machine was having electrical problems that had my father, Papa Gianni, at a loss. Having waited in a long line to order, Don volunteered to help my Dad fix the machine so he could get his coffee. That was the beginning of a long relationship. We will miss him dearly!
Happy Birthday-Auguri: Caffe Trieste!!!
We opened our North Beach caffe’s door on April 1, 1956 – 55 years ago. Papa Gianni and the Giotta Family take this opportunity to say “Grazie” the many, many, many thousands of customers who have walked through our doors and continue to enjoy our hand-crafted coffees and our music. We are one of the “Golden Oldies”, and we intend to expand and continue for many years to come!
March 22, 2011
A Note to our Loyal Customers:
Earlier today, our company implemented expected and unavoidable price increases for our whole bean coffees and coffee category drinks at all points of distribution. Coffee price futures have hit a 34 year high. In addition to financial speculation, diminished crop yields have caused green coffee to more than double in the last 21 months. Even Robusta coffees (which we have never used) are fetching a through-the-roof premium above market levels. We believe this market is making a major adjustment and do not anticipate it will fall after a speculative trading bubble bursts.
The market movement, Arabica crop shortfalls, and our policy of “No substitutions” in our formulas make this situation particularly critical for our company. On the other hand, our firm commitment to quality and consistency across the decades are one of the main reasons for our longevity and success and the reputation we have garnered over the last 55 years.
If you haven’t done so already, please read our revised ORDERING, RETURN, EXCHANGE and PRICING POLICIES (link at bottom of home page) You may want to periodically monitor our web site for further pricing and other important bulletins.
In the end, gourmet coffee remains a high value drink that starts us off and sets us up for a positive, ambitious, and productive day. Our retail customers will continue to enjoy our top quality coffee at home for less than 30 cents per cup.
Thanks for your continued patronage.
IN MEMORIAM: Owen Davis - 1952-2011
March 8, 2011 - It is with deep regret that we must announce the sudden death of long-time Conga player Owen Davis earlier today.
Owen (a.k.a. Onofrio Da Vinci) joined the Caffe Trieste Band in 2004 and also performed with Papa Gianni and other members of the Trieste Musical Family at several of our locations and with many other well-known bands in Northern California. Owen’s playing and ad-lib singing brought intense soulfulness, joy and sometimes even laughter to our band, the Caffe Trieste Saturday Concert and our audiences. Owen also worked in sales and delivery for our company’s wholesale arm-Caffe Trieste Superb Coffees and performed regularly with several other members of the Trieste Musical Family (led by guitarist David Sturdevant) at Plymouth United Church of Christ-Oakland , CA.
The circumstances surrounding his death are mysterious and remain unsettled at this time. Owen deeply loved and cared for his baby granddaughter Gracie, a fledgling musician. A trust fund will be set-up for Gracie; please return to this web site for donation information and updates. A musical memorial will be held at Plymouth United Church of Christ- 424 Monte Vista Avenue, Oakland, CA 94611-4570 Telephone (510) 654-5300,
date to be announced. Owen will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
