Moak

More than 50 years of "Made in Italy"

50 years and more "made in Italy" - The Moak roastery was founded in 1967 in Modica, Sicily by Giovanni Spadola and celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2017. The city of Modica has been influenced by thousands of years of history. As Motyka, the city of Modica was part of the Greek Empire, followed by the Romans, who called it Motuca, and finally the Arabs, who left their cultural heritage in Mohac. The company name "Moak" is thus a tribute to the Arabs, who are considered the discoverers of coffee. The cultural influence of the region, the city and the people is reflected in the coffee creations of the Moak roastery.

The Development of the Sicilian Roasting

After its beginnings in the late 1960s, the company has continued to develop to this day. At first, it was only able to serve the Italian market, but today Moak is represented with its products on all 5 continents. The company has continued to grow and modernize over the years. The company's identity has never been compromised by new processes or marketing strategies, and the focus has always been on the "made in Italy" product. The quality of the products is due to the careful selection of the coffee beans and a roasting process that gives each coffee variety the optimal organoleptic properties.

The variety of espresso blends

Moak's experience and passion is reflected in a wide range of blends. There is something for every coffee lover, from aromatic and delicate flavors to very creamy coffees, the roastery offers a wide variety. Moak Caffè sells the unique taste experience of an Italian Moak espresso in bars, for home or for the office. Moak coffee from Sicily is popular for its ORGANIC FAIR COFFEE and the Moak Gusto Bar.

Who is the Moak Coffee Roastery?

Caffè Moak was founded in 1967 in Modica, Sicily, by Giovanni Spadola and remains closely connected to the history, culture, and identity of this extraordinary region. The name “Moak” derives from “Mohac,” the Arabic name for the city of Modica – a deliberate tribute to the Arabs, who are regarded as the discoverers of coffee. What began as a small workshop has, over more than five decades, grown into an internationally successful roastery. Today, it is led by Alessandro and Annalisa Spadola and is present in over 50 countries across five continents. Despite modernization and global expansion, Moak remains uncompromisingly committed to the principle of “Made in Italy.”

What Does Moak Coffee Taste Like?

Depending on the blend, the aromatic spectrum ranges from delicate and elegant to intense, bold, and highly present, without ever seeming unbalanced.

Is Moak Coffee Typically Italian Roasted?

Yes – but with a Sicilian character. Moak follows the classic Italian roasting tradition, focusing on espresso, body, and crema, while interpreting it with the warmth and intensity of Southern Italy.

The result is Italian roasting craftsmanship with a Mediterranean soul.
