What Coffee Lovers EU does

Coffee Lovers EU is a Polish specialty coffee e-commerce retailer operated by IR TECH Sp. z o.o., a private limited liability company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tychy, Silesian Voivodeship. The company sells single-origin specialty coffees (Ethiopia Sidamo, Guatemala Alto Refugio, Rwanda Twongere Kawa Coko, Nepal Mount Everest, Nicaragua Maracaturra, Costa Rica Tarrazu, Hawaii Maui), blended coffees from Caffé Barbera and Saka Caffè, and ESE POD paper pods through its online storefront at coffee-lovers.eu. It serves both professional HoReCa customers (cafes, restaurants, hotels) and home coffee enthusiasts across Poland.

The company's core technology revolves around specialty coffee curation with farm-to-cup traceability (origin, varietal, altitude, processing method, SCA cupping scores) and authorized distribution of premium equipment. It is the Polish distributor of Mazzer Luigi S.p.A. grinders — described as the 'Ferrari of grinders' — including ZM Digital, KOLD S, KONY S, Major VP, Super Jolly V Pro, Robur, Mini, and OMEGA. It also distributes ACS (Advanced Coffee Solution) espresso machines such as the VOSTOK 1G/2GR lever machines and FALCON I, alongside Lelit home machines, Mahlkönig grinders, IMS filters, and Puly Caff cleaning products. Technical service and barista training complete the offering.

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time transactional sales of coffee products and equipment, plus ancillary service revenue from technical maintenance and barista training. Pricing is in PLN with VAT included; courier delivery costs 17.90 PLN across Poland with free shipping above 490 PLN on coffee orders. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer e-commerce supplemented by phone and email ordering, with no physical storefronts and no geographic expansion beyond Poland. The catalog spans ~300 SKUs across 14 product categories, supported by an SEO-driven blog ('Aktualności') and social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and X/Twitter.
