La Nostra Storia
The aroma of freshly roasted coffee can be detected from afar, and brings a feel of Italy to Germany. When entering our “Drago Mocambo” roasting house and seeing the small coffee bar, everyone’s curiosity is aroused to dive into the world of coffee.
It all began in 1984, when Guiseppe Drago started roasting coffee in a small garage in search of an incomparable, typically Italian coffee. Even then, there was to be no compromise on taste. The spirit of Italy was to be tangible with every drop. He succeeded in igniting this passion in more and more coffee connoisseurs. This laid the base for the founding of “Drago Mocambo”.
In 2011, Concetta and Giorgio Drago, Giuseppe’s two children, took over the management of the company.
In 2022, the third generation, the grandsons of the company founder, Enrico and Teresa Poidomani, as well as Giuseppe and Dario Drago, followed into his footsteps and took over the management of Drago Mocambo.
Our family business continues to develop dynamically, but one thing always remains the same: our company philosophy. “Highest uncompromising quality and coffee roasting according to the traditional drum roasting method” – this remains our highest principle to this day.
In the meantime, we have established intensive trade relations with coffee farmers in various countries around the world. We maintain a direct exchange with the farms and farmers and thus guarantee a high, always consistent quality.
