Segafredo Zanetti: espresso culture for Mauritian cafes

Espresso is one of Italy's great exports, and Segafredo Zanetti carries it further than almost anyone: the group roasts on four continents and serves tens of millions of cups a day.

From bean to bar

Massimo Zanetti built the company on a simple idea: control every step. Segafredo owns plantations, roasteries and even the espresso machine maker La San Marco. That vertical chain is why the espresso in Trieste tastes like the espresso in Port Louis.

The range we distribute

  • Whole beans: for cafes and restaurants running professional machines, from the smooth Selezione crema to intense extra bar blends.
  • Ground coffee: moka-ready packs for retail shelves.
  • Capsules and pods: the fastest-growing segment for home espresso drinkers.

A café culture on the rise

Mauritius' coffee scene has changed fast: speciality cafes in Port Louis and Grand Baie, hotels upgrading their breakfast coffee, restaurants ending meals the Italian way. Segafredo gives any of them an authentic Italian espresso programme with training and consistency behind it.

See the range on the Segafredo Zanetti brand page or contact us for food service enquiries.
