HISTORY
The Soul of KISSA
KISSA Coffee Roastery was born in Malgrat de Mar as the culmination of two lives dedicated to coffee beans. We are not just a roaster; we are the meeting point between technical precision, high-level training, and a passion for service. Behind every roast are two complementary paths that come together to offer you an uncompromising coffee experience.
BIAGIO CARUSO
Technical Mastery and Strategic Vision
With over 13 years of international experience between Italy and Spain, Biagio brings rigor and competitive excellence. A National SCA Competition Judge and Spanish Latte Art Runner-Up in 2024, his career has evolved from bar service to strategic management and elite barista training. As an expert in comprehensive management and business opening, Biagio leads the roasting process alongside Lucas, applying his deep knowledge of green coffee selection and the design of reproducible roasting profiles. His vision for KISSA is clear: to apply all that expertise to ensure every cup is, simply, perfect.
LUCAS HECTOR JUAREZ
Sensory Sensitivity and Cup Excellence
Lucas brings the emotional connection and mastery in extraction. With 9 years of experience, beginning in Argentina and solidifying in the demanding specialty market in Spain, Lucas understands that coffee is a bridge between the producer and the customer. Winner of the “La Taza de Oro 2024” competition by Cafés Cornellá and trained by experts like Kim Ossenblok, Lucas pours his sensitivity into sensory analysis and roasting. His focus on sustainability and loyalty ensures that every KISSA customer not only buys coffee but also learns to appreciate the nuances of each origin.
