Cafelat History
The founder of Cafelat is Paul Pratt, has been in the coffee industry since 1995 as a Barista, Coffee shop owner, Roaster, Equipment wholesaler and accessories maker.
Paul is probably most well-known through his work with espresso machines, in particular maintenance and technician training for the La Marzocco brand. He currently owns around 30 espresso machines dating from the 1950's up to the present day, most are La Marzocco.
He knows a thing or two about machines having a sizeable collection of vintage machines he has restored himself. Our first products from 2005 – the bumper knockbox and tamper.
Paul builds and tests every Robot.
Paul says "Towards the end of summer 2007 the bumper barista tools were doing very well, so much so that the revenue from this side project had become a major source of income for the company. I really wanted to take it to the next level and was looking at overhauling the packaging, but by the end of 2007 it became clear that merely changing the packaging was not enough. In early 2008 I had the good fortune to meet with some like-minded people who shared my vision of creating a range of coffee related products with both professional and household appeal that were the best they could possibly be in terms of function and design. Within just a few short weeks we had the concept of Cafelat done.
It has taken well over a year of extremely hard work to get where we are today. That year was spent on developing new products with our designer, pushing new manufacturing techniques and of course months of testing. What I have tried to do is pull together the most respected professionals from around the world, each experts in their field be it packaging design or product design with no compromises to function. I am extremely proud of what we have put together and look forward to developing future products."
