Coffee beans, ground coffee and capsules: 300+ products in stock, selected and tested by our team. Delivery in 24–48 hours in France, and to 15 European countries.
The Cafemalin story began in 1995, when Julien Malin, a former wine merchant with a passion for Italian espresso, decided to launch a simple project: to make authentic Italian coffees from family-run roasteries accessible to French customers. These were the coffees he discovered on weekend trips to Turin, Naples and Trieste, yet never found on French supermarket shelves.
Operating from a small base in Île-de-France, the early years were devoted to a patient selection process: direct meetings with Italian roasteries in the north (Turin, Trieste, Belluno) and south (Naples, Salerno), blind tastings and tests on the various capsule systems emerging at the time. Gradually, the range took shape around three core areas: major, long-established coffee houses (Lavazza, Kimbo, Illy), artisan roasters that struggled to find a place elsewhere (Bristot, Covim), and complementary brands from Portugal and France (Delta Cafés, Carte Noire).
More than fifteen years later, Cafemalin has become one of the leading names in Italian coffee in France: over 50 000 customers served, 300+ products always in stock, a team that answers product questions in under 12 hours, and authorised retailer status with most of the major Italian coffee houses we stock.
To make authentic Italian espresso accessible to every household and every business, with the exacting standards of a family-run Italian roastery — applied to online retail in France.
Every product in our catalogue is tasted, tested and approved by our team. We sell what we drink every day — never the other way round.
Around fifteen hand-picked brands, each with its own history and terroir. Only established roasteries, never brands created simply to seize an opportunity.
Same-day dispatch on weekdays before 3 pm, delivery in 24–48 hours in France, and a French team that responds in under 12 hours. The service we would like to receive.
Clear prices incl. VAT, detailed product descriptions (intensity, origin, roast, compatibility), and reviews verified by an independent organisation. No fake countdowns, no misleading design.
