Product description

The Quarta Caffè Espresso coffee pods come from Lecce in southern Italy and offer a full-bodied aroma with a typically Italian character. The taste is intense, with a slight sweetness, balanced bitterness and very low acidity.

Each pod contains 7g of espresso blend and is ideal for a cup of up to 45ml. The pods are organic, individually wrapped and 100% compostable. Instead of conventional glue, a corn-based adhesive solution is used - sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The pads fit all E.S.E. machines with a 44mm diameter. Perfect for everyone who appreciates strong espresso with a mild finish.

Packaging unit: 18 pieces.

About Quarta Caffè

Quarta Caffè is a family business from Lecce in the Salento region, founded in the 1950s by Antonio Quarta Senior. From a small shop in the historic centre, where coffee was roasted and ice cream and lemonades were sold, one of Italy's ten largest roasteries grew over four generations. Grandfather Antonio invented the Caffè in Ghiaccio — hot espresso poured over ice, refined with Apulian almond milk — an iconic Salento drink that was officially recognised as a traditional food product (PAT) of the Puglia region in December 2025. The second generation under Gaetano Quarta created the famous Avio blend, named after the pilots of the nearby Galatina air base. Today, Antonio Quarta runs the roastery together with his sons Edoardo — a certified Q Grader for both Arabica and Robusta — and Gaetano.

Quarta Caffè roasts each bean variety separately to achieve optimal roasting parameters per origin, and deliberately avoids vacuum packaging: the coffee matures naturally in soft packaging with a freshness valve, preserving its aroma. The production facility in Lecce processes over 70,000 sacks of green coffee annually across 12,000 square metres and is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. As part of the Progetto Natura, the plant has been generating its own electricity from wind and solar energy since the 1980s. The Nespresso-compatible capsules are 100% plant-based and compostable, dual-certified by TÜV Austria. At Espressa, we carry Quarta Caffè beans, ground coffee, ESE pods and compatible capsules.
