Trismoka

What Trismoka does

Trismoka (legal entity: TRIS MOKA S.R.L.) is an Italian family-owned coffee roasting company founded in 1981 by Gino Uberti on the shores of Lake Iseo in Paratico (Brescia), now in its third generation of family leadership. The company manufactures and distributes premium roasted coffee — including four signature blends (Italia, Brasil, Degustazione, Gourmet 100), five single-origin coffees (Colombia, Panama, Brasile Specialty, Kilimanjaro Filter), 100% compostable Nespresso®-compatible capsules (Sublime, Cremoso, Decaffeinato), paper-filter pods, and complementary non-coffee beverages (barley, ginseng, tea) — alongside branded service materials (cups, tampers, barista uniforms, napkins) for professional café use. Roasting is performed on a "Production 4.0" system with 20 checks per second for precision quality control, and the operation is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015.

The company's primary customer segment is B2B HoReCa — cafés, restaurants, and hotels — supported by an SCAE-authorized Trismoka Coffee School that has trained over 5,000 baristas in 20 years, an internal after-sales workshop, and tailored blend creation on request. Distribution is executed through an international network of third-party distributors across 18 countries, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (trismokashop.it), a physical point-of-sale and tasting area at the Paratico headquarters, and a growing presence in home and office segments via capsules and pods. Sub-brand Miss Moka is a solidarity coffee line produced in partnership with the International Women Coffee Alliance (IWCA).

Trismoka generates revenue through one-time product sales (coffee blends, single-origins, capsules, pods, and accessories) and professional services revenue from the Coffee School training programs. GTM motion combines channel-partner distribution internationally with direct enterprise field sales in Italy, reinforced by a community-engagement flywheel of competitions (Milano Latte Art Challenge, Trismoka Challenge, Trismoka Collection) and content marketing (Coffee Trails origin stories, Discover Art education). The company remains a privately-held Italian S.R.L. with €10,320 paid-in share capital, 11–50 employees, and no external institutional investors or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Lavazza: Italy's largest coffee roaster with a full portfolio of blends, capsules, and single-serve formats serving global HoReCa and retail. Comparable as a direct competitor in Italian espresso and capsule categories, but at significantly larger scale and brand breadth.
• illy caffè: Premium Italian coffee brand with signature espresso blends, single-serve capsules, and a strong HoReCa presence worldwide. Comparable product portfolio and HoReCa-led go-to-market, with stronger global brand recognition and a public-company-like distribution footprint.
• Segafredo Zanetti: Italian coffee roaster with extensive HoReCa distribution and a broad product line including capsules and pods. Directly comparable in B2B HoReCa channel model and Italian espresso positioning, with a much larger international footprint via the Segafredo brand network.

Direct peers

• Pellini Caffè: Italian family-owned coffee roaster supplying blends, single-serve capsules, and pods primarily to HoReCa and retail across Europe. Comparable in mid-sized family-owned structure, blended/Italian espresso focus, and capsule/pod product mix.
• Hausbrandt: Trieste-based Italian coffee roaster with HoReCa and foodservice distribution across Europe, offering espresso blends and single-serve formats. Comparable in heritage Italian roasting positioning and B2B HoReCa-led go-to-market.
• Costadoro Caffè: Turin-based Italian specialty coffee roaster focused on high-quality espresso blends and single-origin coffees for HoReCa. Comparable in family-owned heritage, premium positioning, and emphasis on barista training and education.
