Founded in 1996 on Lake Garda in Italy, Lucaffè is the result of Gian Luca Venturelli’s love for the art of coffee roasting and to his natural talent for creating the most exquisite and delicious blends, combining the best beans, constantly studying and improving the production process with the goal of offering the best coffee experience to his customers. Lucaffè was born in a small warehouse, where Mr. Venturelli carried sacks of coffee purchased from Brazil on his shoulders, devoting much of his time to researching the best suppliers and creating better and more environmentally friendly ways to transport coffee to Italy.
His tireless quest for improvement is what has allowed Lucaffè to grow from a small warehouse to a larger complex, which continues to grow and invest in better machinery to process coffee beans with the utmost care:
Our process begins with a manual selection of the beans in order to achieve maximum purity and to eliminate the smaller beans that burn faster and impart a bitter taste to the coffee. Next, the coffee is gently roasted in a bed of hot air that ensures the integrity of the beans and preserves all its essential oils.
With our 3-step grinding process, we are able to achieve the perfect grind level for filter coffee, pods, and capsules.
With continuous research, from coffee origin to packaging, we are always developing the best solutions for the entire production line: Our nespresso® compatible capsules are 100 percent biodegradable, our pods are compostable, and our tins are made of stainless steel, the second most recyclable material in the world. They are also hermetically sealed, allowing the coffee to be stored away from moisture and oxygen, preserving flavor and freshness.
“QUALITY IS HEALTH” is Gian Luca Venturelli’s motto: Lucaffè’s number one priority is the health of its customers while offering the best taste and quality. And this is proven true with just a sip of our coffee
