Rombouts Italian Style One Cup Filter Coffee

Rombouts is a prestigious coffee brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1896 when Frans Rombouts first rented a coffee roasting machine in Antwerp, Belgium. The company famously invented the individual one-cup coffee filter in 1958 for the Brussels World Exhibition, which revolutionized how quality coffee could be prepared conveniently at home or in professional settings. This 'Italian Style' variant is an intense dark roast designed to mimic the bold profiles of traditional Italian espresso in a filter format.

The brand remains a family-owned enterprise, maintaining its independence and commitment to quality through generations. Rombouts products are primarily manufactured in Belgium, with their main roasting and production facilities located in Aartselaar. In the UK market, the brand is widely recognized for its sustainable initiatives, such as the use of 100% home compostable and plant-based filter materials as shown on this packaging. The brand continues to operate as a family business, often collaborating with their French branch, Malongo, for international distribution and production excellence.
