Details

Gregorio Menendez Bustelo (born June 21, 1894) traveled from his native Spain to Cuba as a young man and moved to the United States in 1917. [1] He founded the coffee company Café Bustelo in 1928 in The Bronx, New York. [2] His product became popular with Cuban exiles who preferred to make it in espresso makers rather than the usual method of filtering it through a coffee sock. [3] The company remained successful throughout the 20th century and was known for its distinctive yellow and red tins. [2]
