Nicola Lote Rossio Encorpado ground coffee

Nicola Cafés is one of Portugal's most historic and iconic coffee brands, with roots tracing back to 1779 and the famous Café Nicola in Lisbon's Rossio Square. The 'Lote Rossio' product line is a direct homage to this heritage, offering a full-bodied blend designed to capture the traditional Portuguese espresso experience. It is specifically marketed for its universal grind, suitable for all types of coffee machines.

Today, Nicola is manufactured in Portugal by Nutricafés, which operates major production facilities such as the one in Venda Nova. The brand has seen several shifts in ownership over the centuries. In 2016, the Italian coffee giant Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group acquired Nutricafés, integrating it into one of the world's largest coffee companies. This ownership brings global resources to the brand while maintaining its local Portuguese production and flavor profile.
