Hello
Cortino was born out of a shared passion for two of life’s finest pleasures, coffee and whisky. Our founders, Georgia, an Italian coffee enthusiast, and Grant, a Scottish whisky aficionado, decided to blend their two loves to create a unique experience. What started as an idea over a cup of coffee (and perhaps a dram of whisky) became the foundation of Cortino, dedicated to crafting one-of-a-kind coffee whisky experiences.
Our Coffee
At Cortino, we’re all about creating exceptional coffee that sparks curiosity and excitement. We believe coffee can be so much more than your morning routine, it’s an experience, a journey, and a moment to savour. Our values are rooted in authenticity, quality, and sustainability. From the beans we select to the barrels we source, every step of our process is done with care and dedication to our craft.
What sets our barrel-aged coffee apart is the way we fuse our two passions. Our coffee beans rest in whisky barrels sourced from all over Scotland, infusing them with a depth of flavour that’s rich, smooth, and completely unique. Roasted locally in Edinburgh, every batch of coffee we produce offers a distinct and exciting flavour profile, perfect for those who appreciate both coffee and whisky or want to try something truly special.
We partner with Santu, our trusted coffee supplier, to source our beans directly from farms in Brazil. The beans are carefully selected for their high quality and flavour potential. Once sourced, they are aged in Scottish whisky barrels, each chosen for its ability to enhance the coffee’s character. After ageing, the beans are roasted to bring out their full, unique flavour.
We’re a small but passionate team that thrives on creativity, experimentation, and attention to detail. Every cup of coffee we produce is a reflection of our dedication to quality and our belief in providing a personal touch. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of what we do, and we’re always here to ensure your experience with Cortino is just as special as our coffee.
With our backgrounds in sustainable design, we make it a priority to be as environmentally conscious as possible in every aspect of our business. From selecting sustainable materials for our packaging to partnering with responsible suppliers, we strive to reduce our impact on the planet while delivering the highest quality coffee to our customers.
We’re just getting started, and the future holds exciting things for Cortino. While we can’t reveal everything just yet, we’re constantly working on new ideas and experiences to elevate your coffee journey. Stay tuned, great things are coming!
