Coffee Italiano — the premium Italian coffee destination in Türkiye. Official distributor of Tonino Lamborghini Espresso and select Italian brands.

Coffee Italiano, a Maximum Group company, is built on a distribution model dedicated to Türkiye's premium Italian coffee market. The priority brand in our current portfolio is Tonino Lamborghini Espresso; we hold the brand's official Türkiye distributorship and apply its atelier standards in full across retail and HoReCa channels.

Our operations are headquartered in Istanbul, with active HoReCa service lines across Turkey. From luxury hotel chains to fine-dining restaurants, from corporate headquarters to specialty cafés, we serve a customer portfolio across more than 240 active locations.

Every link in the supply chain — from bean selection to vacuum packaging — is overseen directly according to the standards the Funo di Argelato atelier has applied since 1963. Each batch records its lot number, roast date and the atelier master's signature; we offer uninterrupted traceability from bean to cup.

Italian Espresso Institute (IIAC) panel approval, an ISO 22000 food safety certificate and KVKK- and GDPR-compliant processes are core commitments of our operation. With a guarantee to ship within 14 days of roasting, we deliver the freshest beans.

For hotels, restaurants, cafés and corporate headquarters we offer a turnkey HoReCa programme: 1 kg performance packs, Nespresso-compatible capsules, barista training based on the Italian Espresso Institute curriculum, the Club House porcelain range, and a guaranteed emergency service within 4 hours.

With monthly consumption tracking, optimised replenishment and machine-rental options, you get consistent quality without the operational burden — a single-source HoReCa service partner. Our dealership programme runs on a regional-exclusivity basis.

Tonino Lamborghini Espresso, the brand in our current portfolio, is the coffee line of the lifestyle brand founded in Bologna in 1981 by Tonino Lamborghini. It is produced at the Funo di Argelato atelier — in operation since 1963 — following the principles of hand bean selection, slow flame roasting (12–18 min), 72 hours of resting and nitrogen-flushed vacuum packaging.

With three signature blends — Red (70/30 Arabica-Robusta, intensity 8/12, cocoa + roasted hazelnut), Platinum (100% Arabica, 6/12, jasmine + honey + almond caramel) and Black (60/40, 11/12, toasted bread + dark cocoa + spice) — it is the choice of luxury hotels, lounges and specialty cafés in 60+ countries.

Premium Italian coffee is not a single bean but a masterfully built blend culture. Arabica and Robusta beans are combined in specific ratios according to the targeted intensity and aroma profile; with slow flame roasting (typically 12–18 minutes) the sugars are caramelised, achieving the ideal body and crema for espresso.

The difference in quality becomes clear on three measures: freshness (the first weeks after the roast date), blend consistency (the same profile in every batch) and packaging (nitrogen-flushed vacuum, which locks in the aroma). Tonino Lamborghini Espresso has applied all three at the Funo di Argelato atelier since 1963.

Arabica grows at higher altitudes; its aroma is floral and fruity, its acidity bright and its caffeine low (around 1.2–1.5%). Robusta is hardier; its body is intense, its taste earthy and bitter, its caffeine high (around 2.2–2.7%), and it gives a thicker, longer-lasting crema in espresso.

The Italian espresso tradition mostly blends the two: Arabica carries the aroma and sweetness, Robusta the body and crema. For example, the Red blend offers cocoa and roasted-hazelnut notes with its 70/30 Arabica-Robusta balance.

Espresso is an intense, crema-rich extraction drawn in 25–30 seconds at around 9 bar of pressure. Filter coffee drips by gravity; it is light-bodied with high clarity of flavour. The moka pot works on the stove at around 1.5 bar of steam pressure, giving a coffee close to espresso in intensity but without crema.

The right grind differs for each method: fine for espresso, medium-fine for moka, medium for filter. The same bean produces a completely different cup depending on the grind and the method.

The first priority is the roast date: whole-bean coffee performs best in the 2–6 weeks after roasting, so look for the roast date on the pack. Second comes blend and intensity: for a dark, full-bodied cup choose blends with a high Robusta ratio (e.g. 60/40), and for a balanced, aromatic profile choose Arabica-led blends.

Third comes format and freshness protection: buying whole beans and grinding them at brew time preserves the aroma; nitrogen-flushed vacuum or one-way-valve packs extend freshness. Tasting notes (cocoa, hazelnut, caramel, spice) guide the choice according to your palate.

Capsule coffee offers convenience and consistency: a standard dose, easy clean-up and stable quality in minutes — ideal for home and office. Whole-bean coffee offers freshness and control: grinding at brew time, adjustable grind and dose, and a richer aroma — for those seeking the barista experience.

The choice depends on your use case. Coffee Italiano offers both: Nespresso®-compatible capsules (Red, Platinum, Black, Decaffeinato) and a 1 kg whole-bean format.
