Their
challenge at Fuel Espresso has always been to get their customers, who mostly
appreciate fine wine, to understand the virtues of fine espresso. Their answer?
Persistence. 25 years of it. In early 1996, they found a space for the first
Fuel Espresso, an espresso cart in the business district of Wellington, New
Zealand. The desire was to build a beautiful espresso business based solely on
quality. A year later they went to Trieste, Italy, where they worked to develop
Fuel Espresso Classic, a balanced combination of the most complex, washed
arabica speciality beans, roasted so lightly the slightest imperfection could
not be concealed. In these 25+ years, they opened various coffee shops around
Wellington, but also in Hong Kong and Shanghai… and the rest, as they say, is
history.
