Caffè Camardo has entered the Gambero Rosso 2026 Guide to Italy’s Best Coffees and Roasteries with the highest recognition: Three Coffee Grinders.

Caffè Camardo is officially featured in the first edition of the 2026 Gambero Rosso Guide to Coffees and Roasteries, the authoritative publication dedicated to the finest names in the Italian coffee scene. This eagerly awaited editorial project was launched for the first time this year by Gambero Rosso.

Three Coffee Grinders for the Caraibico Blend: The Seal of Excellence

The historic Caraibico blend has been awarded Three Coffee Grinders, the highest score given by Gambero Rosso to coffees that represent absolute excellence in the cup — rare products born from expertise, care, and authentic identity.

“A result that fills us with pride because it embodies everything that has guided us for generations: extensive experience in the coffee sector, attention to the entire production chain, selection of the finest raw materials, artisanal care, and love for our work. It is an acknowledgment that celebrates our daily commitment,” says Antonella Camardo, “and through this iconic blend, it tells the story of the passion that has accompanied us for over 75 years. The Caraibico blend, already widely awarded by international organizations and recognized among the company’s top coffees, is appreciated for its aroma and structure in evaluations dedicated to the best Italian coffees.”

The emotion was even greater because, during the official presentation at The Space Cinema Moderno in Rome, in front of over 150 roasteries from across Italy, our CARAIBICO coffee blend received the highest recognition, earning Three Coffee Grinders for its excellence and unmistakable flavor.

The Gambero Rosso Guide: A Reference Point for Coffee Lovers

This new guide, based on rigorous tastings and detailed sensory evaluations, was created to showcase the quality of Italian coffee, from the production chain to the cup. The Coffee Grinders — from one to three — define a clear, immediate, and authoritative scale of excellence within the national scene.

An Award That Speaks of Family, Territory, and Roots

The award was accepted by the fourth generation of the Camardo family, who continue a story that began in 1948, when Bartolomeo Camardo, fascinated by South American plantations, chose to bring that passion back to his hometown of Campobasso.

It was a symbolic moment, full of meaning: this award is also a tribute to our roots, to those who built Caffè Camardo day by day, with dedication and vision. A homage to Molise, its identity, and its ability to preserve excellences that today speak to the world.
