We’re a company with strong convictions – whether it’s about shifting from animal-based to plant-based consumption to protect our planet, or speculating on whether the Seattle Mariners will ever win a World Series. Unlike others who shy away from taking a stand, we see it as a way to connect with like-minded people. We believe in growing plants to eat rather than feeding animals that we then consume, and we’re committed to equality for all, regardless of background, identity, or beliefs.

Our focus on oats is more than just business; it’s our passion. Since the early 1990s, we’ve been pioneering oat-based drinks that nourish both people and the planet. While it may seem like oat drink became an overnight sensation, it’s actually the result of decades of dedication and refinement. We’re not here to overwhelm you with our entire history but to share enough to keep you intrigued and maybe even inspire you to stay a little longer. ~ link to our website to read more

Ever since 1905, Victoria Arduino has been chosen by people who love great coffee. They want a product that is made with a superb coffee machine and the best grinders.

The end result is mastered at their roasting facility in Melbourne, where each coffee is expertly roasted and packaged.

While the brand’s spiritual home will always remain in the laneways of South Melbourne, ST. ALi’s impact now extends across the globe spreading Melbourne coffee culture far and wide.

After leaving his engineering tenure with La Marzocco-USA and with a second mortgage drawn against his home, Mark and wife Sandy Schneiter worked from their garage to design and build the first Synesso equipment, which debuted the now-famous Synesso temperature stability and robust build quality. ‘Machine #1’ was placed on Broadway Ave, in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Neighborhood. It was called ‘Engineered Perfection’ by the leading coffee professionals of the day and the rest is history!

One unit at a time, Mark & Sandy sold equipment to a core group of believers around the world who dared to think differently beyond the traditional, big-business Italian manufacturers. They sought the American approach to espresso equipment and what would become the Synesso hallmark: incredibly well-built, premium quality, and innovative machines that last forever and owners trust to perform year-after-year.

Today, Synesso is a premiere global manufacturer of commercial espresso machines for the Specialty coffee market. Our owners trust Synesso’s famous build-quality, long-term reliability, and precision performance to bring their coffee visions to life. All from a company and team of people that are a joy to work with. 

This is what makes Synesso…Synesso!

In addition to the classy and diversified shapes of the collections, the rimmed and striped models offer unique and colorful highlights to Ancap’s signature pure white porcelain.

Ancap’s porcelain collections add an elegant touch to any environment. Pure white porcelain acts as a delightful contrast against the rich colors of coffee and tea, and makes up the gently sloping walls which roll smoothly to the rim. Every piece is coated in a lustrous quartz glaze, which catches the eye and feels smooth in hand, while showcasing the purity of the porcelain. Crafted to pair strength with beauty, Ancap porcelain embodies a unique elegance that lasts.

Our journey began with the creation of the round spout jug, originally designed for latte art competitions. This jug quickly gained recognition for its performance, leading to the first production run featuring an embossed signature— a first in the industry. Building on this success, Jibbijug introduced the Eagle Spout, a sharp, precise design that became a sensation in the market and solidified our reputation as a leader in the field. Jibbijug was also the first brand to emboss its Swan logo directly into the metal, underscoring our commitment to quality and innovation.

Today, Jibbijug stands as an international brand beloved by baristas worldwide. With 20 models designed to inspire creativity and precision, we continue to push the boundaries of latte art. Our focus now includes offering a variety of sizes, such as the popular 420ml jug, and developing medium to super lightweight jugs that accommodate different latte art styles.
