About Kimbo
Kimbo is one of Italy's most celebrated coffee brands, founded in Naples in 1963 by the Rubino brothers - Francesco, Gerardo, and Elio. The company's origins trace back to the 1950s when the brothers began roasting coffee in their father's bakery before selling to local coffee shops. Operating under Cafè Do Brasil Spa, Kimbo has grown to become the #2 packaged coffee producer in Italy, a position maintained since 1994. The brand name was created to evoke the exotic lands where coffee beans are grown, reflecting the company's commitment to sourcing quality beans from around the world. Kimbo's distinctive flavour profile comes from expertly blending Arabica beans from South America with Robusta beans from Asia, creating the full-bodied, intense espresso that Naples is famous for. The company operates from its production site in Melito Di Napoli, where traditional Neapolitan roasting techniques meet modern quality standards. In the UK, Kimbo offers its signature Napoli range including ground coffee and whole beans, perfect for espresso lovers seeking an authentic Italian coffee experience. The brand represents over 60 years of coffee expertise and the rich café culture of Naples.
