View the range →Covim is a contemporary Genoese coffee roaster with deep historical roots. The current company was founded in 1991 through the merger of two rival Genoese firms: Coveca, founded in 1969 by Osvaldo Picci with Adone Macoggi and Paolo Guglielmoni, and Compagnia Mediterranea Caffè, founded in 1974 by Federico Solari — a descendant of the Federico Solari who had launched the Società Internazionale per la Torrefazione Igienica del Caffè in Genoa in the early 20th century.
The sales and administrative headquarters are in Genoa (Via G. Adamoli 241), and the main production site is in Tribogna (province of Genoa, Liguria), covering nearly 20 000 m². A family-owned business with five shareholding families, Covim has established itself as Italy's leader in single-serve and vending coffee, with a strong presence in the Ho.Re.Ca. (hotels, restaurants, cafés) and supermarket sectors. Approximately 21% of turnover comes from exports (2024), with a presence in France, Germany, Spain and European Ho.Re.Ca. markets.
Each Covim blend reflects the Ligurian and Italian espresso tradition: controlled roasting to preserve aromas, thorough quality control, and adjustments to parameters according to the origins and seasons of the green coffee. Covim's philosophy: “coffee is a living fruit” — the company adjusts its roasting and grinding parameters according to the harvests to maintain consistent quality over time. The signature coffee beans range is available at Cafemalin as Orocrema, Prestige, Miscela Bar and Giada, in 1 kg bags.
What has defined Covim since 1991: 4 pillars of expertise that explain its position as Italy's leader in single-serve and vending coffee.
Controlled roasting in Liguria (Tribogna, approximately 20 000 m²) following the Italian espresso tradition. Rigorous quality control, with settings adjusted according to the origins and seasons of the green coffee. Philosophy: ‘coffee is a living fruit’.
Coffee beans: Orocrema (cocoa and aromatic woods, very creamy), Prestige (smooth and aromatic, toast and red berries), Miscela Bar (mild and aromatic, malt and red berries) and Giada (mild, caramel, nuts and chocolate). Covim adapts its roasting and grind to the seasons and the origins of the coffee.
Covim is Italy's leader in portioned coffee and vending, with a strong presence in the Ho.Re.Ca. (hotels, restaurants, cafés) and mass retail markets. The range includes 44 mm ESE pods, compatible capsules, professional formats and 1 kg / 6 kg bags.
A family-owned business with five shareholding families — ownership has remained independent since the merger in 1991. Exports account for around 21% of turnover (2024), across France, Germany, Spain and European Ho.Re.Ca. markets.
The 4 Covim products most ordered by our customers — signature Genoese coffee beans.
The Covim brand has existed since 1991, following the merger of two Genoese coffee roasters: Coveca (founded in 1969 by Osvaldo Picci) and Compagnia Mediterranea Caffè (founded in 1974 by Federico Solari, a descendant of the Federico Solari who launched Società Internazionale per la Torrefazione Igienica del Caffè in Genoa in the early twentieth century).
The company's historical roots therefore date back to the early twentieth century with the Solari family — but the Covim business itself is more than 30 years old in 2026.
Covim coffee is roasted in Italy at its main production site in Tribogna, in the province of Genoa (Liguria), covering almost 20 000 m². Its commercial and administrative headquarters are in Genoa (Via G. Adamoli 241).
Covim adjusts its roasting and grinding settings to the seasons and the origins of its green coffee (‘coffee is a living fruit’).
Covim Prestige: a blend of natural and washed Arabica and Robusta, smooth and aromatic, with notes of toast and red berries (intensity 8/10).
Other Covim coffee beans:
