Continue ShoppingNeapolitan coffee roaster since 1936. Still here.
A Neapolitan coffee roaster the city has known for four generations: ours. Same site, same way of roasting. We import, select and roast in Naples. No middlemen.
1936 – THE ORIGINS
Alfredo Resi started out with one simple conviction.
"Good coffee is never improvised. You study it, you choose it, you roast it. And then you start again."
That was the idea that brought Alfredo Resi, a Neapolitan entrepreneur, to the port of Naples in 1936, when jute sacks were arriving from Brazil. He imported green coffee directly and supplied it to Italy's first roasteries, at a time when almost no one else did.
Alfredo's conviction — that good coffee is built upstream, not corrected downstream — is the same one guiding Resi Bras S.r.l. today, run by the fourth generation of the family.
THE SUPPLY CHAIN
From green bean to cup. No shortcuts.
We import green coffee directly from the ports at Trieste, Genoa and Naples. We check it in our own laboratory.
We roast it in Naples, at the same site since 1936. As a Neapolitan coffee roaster, we don't buy pre-roasted coffee to resell under our name. We buy the green bean at source, we select it, we transform it here.
Green coffee selection
Origins selected in Central and South America, Africa and India. Every lot is cupped before it enters the factory.
Direct importing
We import from the ports at Trieste, Genoa and Naples. The jute sacks reach our factory with no middlemen.
Neapolitan roasting
Twenty minutes of drum roasting, one blend at a time. A slow method that industrial haste has forgotten.
Ready for the cup
We grind and pack here: beans, ground coffee, ESE pods and capsules. The same coffee, ready for every machine and for the moka pot.

OUR PEOPLE
Four generations. The same surname on the door.
In a sector where most historic brands have passed into the hands of funds or multinationals, BrasCafè is still a family-owned Neapolitan coffee roaster.
From Alfredo Resi's business in 1936, to the founding of Brazil Company in 1946, to the structuring of Resi Bras in 1978, right up to today: the family is the same, and still signs off every decision that matters.
Resi Bras S.r.l. is led by Paolo Resi, Managing Director and Sales Director. He represents the fourth generation, and personally oversees both the development of the BrasCafè brand and private label partnerships with clients in Italy, Europe and the United States.

PRIVATE LABEL
More than one venue? Let's build a blend that's entirely yours.
For chains, restaurant groups, hotels and formats with a strong identity, we build complete private label lines: a blend dedicated to your concept, packaging under your brand, minimum lots accessible even to those who don't move industrial volumes. First delivery within 8 weeks of sampling, with the same roasting and the same controls we reserve for BrasCafè blends.
The Resi family business begins in 1936, when Alfredo Resi imports his first green coffee through the port of Naples. In 1946 the company is formally founded as Brazil Company S.p.A., later becoming Resi Bras S.r.l. in 1978. The BrasCafè brand was introduced from the 1980s onwards.
The site is just outside Naples and houses the entire production process: importing, selection, roasting, grinding and packing all happen under one roof. We don’t subcontract any stage to third parties. See our Naples roastery.
We import green coffee directly from the ports at Trieste, Genoa and Naples. We don’t go through middlemen and we don’t resell coffee roasted by third parties: every blend carrying the BrasCafè name is imported, selected and roasted by our family. Read how our supply chain works.
