LaPresso is a company founded by passionate coffee enthusiasts that provides impressive coffee catering for parties and events. LaPresso’s customers include both individuals and businesses.

LaPresso is a company founded by Aake Salonen. Salonen is a coffee enthusiast and a well-known name in the field. He has, among other things, trained coffee enthusiasts, participated in coffee competitions, served as a judge at the Finnish Aeropress 2022 event, and collaborated with other industry players.

LaPresso was born in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. When access to cafes was restricted, the idea of an outdoor coffee stand— a coffee cart— emerged. The coffee cart helped create opportunities for social interaction during the pandemic, which has become one of our core values.

LaPresso carried out a mural art project Muutos.art in collaboration with a café. The project combined a sustainable approach both in terms of indegrients and the materials used in building the café. Coffee made with oat milk was less expensive than the same coffee prepared with cow’s milk. This encouraged customers to make ethical choices.

The pop-up café employed three young people under 18 years old. Salonen, who started entrepreneurship at an early age, believes that young people will be the future makers in the coffee scene as well.

We focus on providing barista services and other pop-up projects. We are motivated by dynamic environments, meaningful interactions, and of course, excellent coffee.
