Meet Our Team
At Gigante, our team is the beating heart of everything we do. Made up of skilled roasters and lifelong coffee lovers, we bring a human touch to every stage of the coffee journey. Each team member brings their own expertise—from bean selection to roast development to brewing mastery—united by a shared passion for delivering coffee that stands out. We believe great coffee comes not just from technique, but from the care and intuition of the people behind it. Together, we turn knowledge into flavour and experience into excellence.
