Story
The legacy of Vancouver-based Milano Coffee’s artisan tradition dates back three generations of Italian coffee heritage blended with over thirty years of West Coast culture. In 1984 visionary founder and Master Roaster Francesco Curatolo brought 75 years of Italian roasting and blending expertise to Vancouver, Canada, garnering a worldwide reputation for his exquisite Italian coffees.
Following a 15-year mentorship to Francesco, today’s Milano Coffee owner and Master Roaster, Brian Turko, has earned his place as a West Coast coffee pioneer, elevating the premium coffee concept to new heights. Combining careful diligence for Italian tradition with a boundless appetite for innovation, Brian’s novel blending concepts have created the ‘Milano taste’ hailed by coffee connoisseurs worldwide and awarded multiple times by the International Institute of Coffee Tasters.
