Gustus - Taste is the most important thing in life

Why the name Gustus?

The name Gustus comes from Latin and means "flavour" or "pleasure". The word is derived from the Latin verb gustare, which means "to taste", "to savour" or "to taste". Even in ancient times, gustus stood not only for the act of tasting, but also for the ability to consciously perceive and appreciate pleasure.

For us, gustus symbolises precisely this connection: conscious enjoyment, curiosity about new flavours and the joy of small, special moments. For us, flavour is far more than just a sense - it is a way of life, an expression of culture and part of what makes life so special.

A name with meaning

That's why we chose the name Gustus over 20 years ago. It stands for our deep understanding and appreciation of what really matters: The art of combining enjoyment and quality. Every decision, every product and every cup of coffee we offer you should fulfil this aspiration.

From symbolism to essence: the evolution of our logo

Our three logo generations tell a story: from the symbolic combination of bean, cup and steam to the emotional reduction to the essentials. They reflect our values - tradition, quality and the joy of coffee enjoyment - in a modern, clear design.

Taste: more than just a flavour

We believe that taste is not just the interplay of flavours, but also the story behind them. It is created through carefully selected beans, masterful roasting and your moment of pause. For us, flavour is a promise - to you, to the people behind our products and to nature, which gives us these valuable raw materials.

Our promise: quality and sustainability

Gustus is not just a name, but a symbol of quality, sustainability and unforgettable moments of pleasure. As Gustus GmbH, based in Uster, Zurich, we combine the best of tradition and modernity.
