Collezione Privata Grani – by Serena Confalonieri

In 1946, Celestino Milani wrote down an original blend on a simple sheet of paper: a date, two initials—C.P.—and two distant origins, Brazil and Colombia. The recipe remained hidden for decades, until his son Pierluigi rediscovered it and decided to bring it to life, turning it into one of Caffé Milani’s most beloved blends.

Collezione Privata is a coffee with a soft, velvety body, with notes of cocoa, nuts, and a delicate touch of red fruit. Balanced and enveloping, it’s made for those who know how to recognize excellence and take their time.

For this special edition, Caffé Milani collaborated with Milanese designer Serena Confalonieri, who reinterpreted the blend through a layered graphic system: the spiral—evoking the aroma’s smoke and the moment when the coffee reveals itself—unfurls across the packaging in undulating modules that wrap around the tin from top to bottom, while the coffee flower and leaf appear at the base, like visual roots anchoring the entire composition. A palette of warm, deep tones completes an object that goes beyond coffee: the tin becomes a collectible design piece.

Available as whole beans, for those who prefer to grind them fresh and preserve all the aroma’s freshness.
