History
[edit]Founded in 1997 by Massimo Renda as L'Aromatika S.r.l., the company initially focused on the distribution of coffee through vending machines and single-serve systems.[2]
In 1999, the company purchased its first pod-making machine and coffee roasting machine. It built a structured sales team and Caffè Borbone S.r.l. was created.[1]
In May 2018, the investment holding company Italmobiliare acquired a 60% majority stake in the company.[3]

In 2023, Caffè Borbone surpassed €300 million in revenue[6] for the first time and employed 300 people.[7] The company also established Caffè Borbone America Corp. to manage operations and distribution in the United States.[8]
In 2025, the company reported revenues of €370.8 million,[9] up 10.8% increase compared to the previous year.[10]
