Lucaffe Coffee

Lucaffe professional coffee is designed for espresso equipment and fully automatic coffee machines — the blends deliver a stable, rich espresso with the characteristic Italian coffee taste and a creamy crema. A professional café or restaurant offering the Lucaffe range provides guests with a coffee experience rooted in long-standing Italian coffee traditions. Lucaffe coffee is a popular choice among HoReCa operators seeking a consistent Italian espresso taste.

Lucaffe range

Lucaffe espresso blends are available in various intensity levels — from milder versions suitable for milk-based drinks to intense, strong espresso blends. Each blend is crafted from a specific combination of coffee beans, ensuring distinct flavour nuances and aromas to match different customer preferences.

Coffee is available in different packaging formats — 1 kg professional bags designed for intensive use in cafés or restaurants, as well as smaller formats. Vacuum packaging preserves the coffee's freshness and ensures a long shelf life.

Lucaffe coffee capsules are a convenient solution for offices and smaller eateries where a large professional coffee machine is not suitable. The capsules ensure a consistent portion size and minimal preparation time.

Why professional coffee matters

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in cafés and restaurants — its quality directly impacts customer satisfaction and repeat visits. Professional coffee with precise roasting and an optimal blend ratio guarantees a consistent result regardless of the barista's experience level.

Espresso is the foundation for most coffee drinks — cappuccino, latte, flat white and other milk-based coffee beverages. High-quality espresso beans ensure that these drinks are flavourful not only due to expert milk frothing but also because of the coffee's intensity and aroma.

Coffee storage and use

Professional coffee should be stored in a hermetically sealed package in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. An opened bag is recommended to be used within 2–4 weeks to maintain maximum flavour and aroma. When setting up a coffee machine, attention should be paid to the correct grind size for the specific blend.

Compatibility between coffee equipment and coffee blends

Coffee quality depends directly on the equipment settings and the compatibility between the coffee blend and the machine. Lucaffe coffee is formulated to work with espresso equipment and fully automatic coffee machines, ensuring optimal extraction at the right pressure and temperature. Purchasing coffee and a coffee machine together from BHS includes consultation on the optimal settings.

Coffee grinding and dosing

The correct coffee grind size is essential for quality espresso — too fine a grind results in over-extraction with a bitter taste, while too coarse a grind leads to under-extraction with a sour taste. Lucaffe blends are formulated for standard espresso grind settings. A scale for precise dosing is a barista's tool that ensures consistency in every cup.

Coffee culture in cafés

Espresso culture has developed significantly in recent years — customers increasingly recognise quality espresso and are willing to pay more for higher-quality coffee. Cafés that use professional Italian blends position themselves as providers of high-quality coffee, fostering customer loyalty and repeat visits.

Barista training and coffee standards

Professional coffee like Lucaffe helps cafés develop an internal coffee standard — barista training with a specific blend and settings ensures that every espresso prepared is consistent. New employees learn the standard faster when there are defined coffee preparation requirements. Consistency is the foundation for repeat customer visits.

Coffee-based drinks and innovations

Modern café menus feature more than just cappuccino and latte — cold brew, espresso tonic and coffee cocktails expand the range of coffee-based drinks. High-quality coffee as a base ensures that these innovative drinks are flavourful and reproducible. Trendy cafés actively experiment with new coffee preparation styles.

Bulk coffee purchasing

Cafés with high coffee consumption benefit from bulk purchasing — large quantities reduce the purchase price and ensure sufficient stock.

Coffee stock and delivery planning

When planning coffee stock, cafés should consider both daily consumption and events or seasonal peaks. Coffee consumption increases significantly in autumn and winter. Regular orders with sufficient reserves prevent situations where coffee runs out during busy periods.

Coffee capsules and the office segment

In addition to traditional ground coffee, Lucaffe also offers a capsule format — a convenient solution for offices and smaller eateries where a large professional coffee machine is not suitable. The capsules ensure a consistent portion size and minimal preparation time, which is ideal for places where coffee is prepared irregularly.

Coffee range as part of a café's identity

A café's coffee selection is one of the key factors shaping the establishment's reputation and customer loyalty. Lucaffe Italian espresso blends provide a recognisable and consistent coffee flavour profile that becomes the café's signature — customers return because they know what to expect. In cafés where coffee culture is actively developing, choosing a professional coffee brand is an investment in the business's image and competitiveness.
