A DROP OF HISTORY IN EVERY CUP Costa coffee was first poured on our shores in 1971 at 9 Newport Street, London, by Sergio and Bruno Costa. Today, just a few metres away from where they first set up, the Costa Roastery produces the same unique Mocha Italia blend that the Costa brothers worked so hard to create. THE PERFECT COMBINATION When you walk into a Costa store you\'ll notice it\'s different to other coffee shops. First of all, there\'s the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Then the great range of authentic coffee drinks. Next the Ferrari of coffee machines. And finally, the most passionate and well trained baristas around. It\'s this unique combination that makes us stand out from the others, and we\'re incredibly proud of it. THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IN A CUP OF COFFEE Hand-making a cup of coffee is an art. It takes time and skill to perfect. That\'s why every single barista, in every single Costa store is professionally trained in the art of coffee by our experts. It\'s a little thing, but it makes a big difference, because it means you\'ll get a perfect cup of Costa coffee every time.
