Our awards
Bye, bye mill!
Simplicity
You can use the same bag of ground coffee for most coffee makers: espresso machine, Italian stovetop coffee maker, French piston, filter, percolator, Turkish press, etc. We even use Universal Grind in all our commercial equipment.
Our innovation progresses linearly with the amount of coffee used, without producing defects such as bitterness or excessive acidity. The extraction of your coffee is optimized, resulting in a coffee that is always enhanced, but well-balanced, without defects.
Economical, ecological & delicious
Reduce without reducing flavor
By using the Universal Grind, you can use the same amount of coffee as usual for more intensity, but it's also possible to reduce the amount of coffee by up to 50% without affecting the flavour of your coffee and save you money!
To determine whether your coffee is properly brewed and considered a "Golden Cup" according to the Specialty Coffee Association, there are two variables to consider: the TDS percentage, which is an indicator of the coffee's strength, and the extraction percentage, which demonstrates the efficiency of the coffee extraction. With the Universal Grind, even if you use less coffee as shown in the image, you're still getting the optimum extraction.
A mission
A family's dream
Café Castelo was born of a family dream to create innovative solutions for the future of coffee. We developed a multi-stage mechanical process, which we call Universal Grinding, as a solution for the future of coffee. Our unique technological process reduces the amount of coffee needed for each infusion by 15% to 50%. This means not only resource savings, but also a significant reduction in pollution. Indeed, by 2050, coffee production will have doubled, while the land available will have halved. At this rate, we will have to use agricultural land at 700% of its current capacity.
Universal Grind is not just a product, but an essential technology applicable to all types of coffee, designed to preserve our precious resources. When you choose Café Castelo, you're supporting sustainable innovation that meets tomorrow's environmental challenges, while enjoying exceptional coffee.

At Café Castelo, there are no subcontractors to ensure the best possible quality control of our products. From bulk coffee to capsules, everything is prepared and shipped by our family-run business.
For that, you'd have to ask our loyal customers who've been with us for almost 30 years.
We could tell you that we select the best harvests from around the world, that we have a laboratory to test each coffee to ensure quality, that we've had the same team of experts for 30 years, that our biggest investment is not in marketing, but in research and development and in state-of-the-art equipment to offer their best coffee, but the real answer is that quite simply, coffee, for us, is more than a cup of coffee .
It's the break in time that starts or ends your day, it's the drink that accompanies you through the best of times and the worst of times, it's the moment we share with the people we love or simply with ourselves, it's the taste that reminds us of a very specific moment in our lives, it's that magical moment that each of us has a very special story to tell.
