THIRD GENERATION COFFEE ROASTERS
Giuseppe Di Stefano – Founding Master Roaster & Entrepreneur
In 1982, Maria Di Stefano (Joe’s wife) suggested they start a cafe where they would roast their own coffee. Joe agreed, La Casa Del Caffe (The House of Coffee) was born, a cafe that the whole family ran until about 1987 where Joe’s appetite for everything coffee grew into something that would become the Complete Coffee group we know today. He is missed dearly.
Nicola Di Stefano – 2nd Generation Master Roaster & Entrepreneur
Nick learned his craft under Joe, not an easy task as his father was very particular about how and why things should be done. Nick would take on all roles in the business from roasting, packing, deliveries, sales and general running of the business. By 1998, Nick was starting to run things and the business began to take on a renewed and improved focus.
Nicolas Di Stefano – 3rd Generation Master Roaster & Entrepreneur
Nicolas began learning from his grandfather at an early age, Joe always keen to impart wisdom and knowledge on his future heir. Ways of viewing the world, systems, people and logic all served to be a solid foundation for the young protege. Taking the long pathway throughout his studies, he eventually realised that whilst he had the brains, all he needed was the focus.
