Messis Coffee
Our story is a journey of identity. As a Family-Owned Coffee Business, we live the coffee culture from its roots in the volcanic slopes of Itagüí, Antioquia. We founded this brand to bring the soul of our land directly to the US market, ensuring transparency in every bag.
Our Heritage: More Than a Colombian Coffee Company
At Messis Coffee, our story is a journey of identity, heritage, and the pursuit of perfection. As a Family-Owned Coffee Business, we don’t just source coffee; we live it. Our roots are firmly planted in the southern volcanic slopes of Itagüí, Antioquia, where our family has mastered the art of coffee cultivation for generations.
We founded this brand to solve a common problem in the US market: the lack of true transparency and freshness. Most “premium” coffees in retail are anonymous blends of various origins. We decided to do things differently. By bringing our specific micro-lots from Itagüí directly to the United States, we ensure that the soul of our land remains intact in every bag. This page, About Messis Coffee, is our invitation for you to join our family and experience the difference that only a direct, farm-to-cup relationship can provide.
A Coffee That Honors Its Origin In Every Single Cup.
We are the direct bridge between our family’s farm and your morning cup. By removing the middlemen and roasting at the source, we ensure that the soul of Itagüí arrives in Chicago with its peak flavor intact. This is our promise: transparency, quality, and a world-class specialty experience in every bag.
Uncompromising Quality: A Specialty colombian coffee brand
What defines a true Specialty Colombian Coffee Brand? For us, it is a relentless commitment to the SCA 85+ standard. We exclusively harvest premium Arabica coffee beans from our high-altitude farm, where elevations between 1,800 and 2,000 meters allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, concentrating the complex sugars and flavors that our customers love.
We refuse to blend our harvest with lower-grade beans to increase volume. Our Single-Origin Coffee Collection represents the purest expression of the Itagüí terroir. By maintaining total control over the process—from the initial planting to the final shipment—we guarantee a specialty cup that is free of primary defects and rich in natural complexity. When you choose Messis, you are choosing a brand that values quality over everything else
The Chicago Connection: Your Local Chicago Coffee Roasters
Our identity is split between two worlds. While our Diedrich precision roasting happens at the source in the mountains of Antioquia to lock in flavor immediately after harvest, our strategic heart is in the Windy City. As a Chicago-based operation, we manage our own logistics and fulfillment hub locally. This allows us to bridge the gap, ensuring that our fresh roasted coffee beans are delivered with speed and care to homes across the US, maintaining the peak of flavor that only a direct-from-farm model can provide.
