Official Lucaffè Srl S.B. dealer and reseller in LithuaniaE.S.E. 44 mm: a simple open standard with a very practical espresso logic.
E.S.E. stands for Easy Serving Espresso. It is a standardised paper portion containing pre-dosed, compacted ground coffee. The 44 mm format is widely used for single-serve espresso machines. The important point is that E.S.E. is not a plastic capsule and not a closed one-brand ecosystem; it is an open format in which different coffee producers and compatible machine makers can participate.
UAB Mia Italia · Vilnius · since 2011
A clear local name behind Lucaffè coffee and the La Piccola espresso system in Lithuania.
UAB Mia Italia is not an anonymous marketplace. We are a Lithuanian family business that has worked with Italian coffee, Lucaffè, the 44 mm E.S.E. system and La Piccola espresso machines since 2011. Our role is to connect the manufacturer, the product and the customer: explain the differences, select the right format, build a practical coffee solution and remain available after the sale.

UAB Mia Italia is an official Lucaffè Srl S.B. dealer and reseller in Lithuania. We deliberately make that relationship visible because customers searching for “Lucaffè Lithuania”, “Italian coffee Lithuania” or “coffee beans Vilnius” should be able to identify the Lithuanian company responsible for the local channel. Current retail products and availability are presented at Lucaffe.lt; specialist La Piccola machine information is available at LaPiccola.lt.
MiaItalia.lt is the corporate and knowledge layer. It explains our history, the manufacturing logic behind Lucaffè, the engineering philosophy of La Piccola, the E.S.E. standard and the way we build solutions for homes, offices, hospitality, premium client spaces and retail partners. We serve Lithuania directly and work with customers across Latvia and Estonia from Vilnius without presenting ourselves as an exclusive national representative where that status has not been established.
La Piccola · Carpenedolo, Brescia
Engineering that does not hide behind disposable plastic.
La Piccola designs and builds espresso machines in Carpenedolo, Italy, and openly documents materials such as steel, unleaded brass, glass and porcelain. The company also shows key assemblies being finished and wired by hand. This matters to us because a premium machine should be understandable, maintainable and worth keeping.
Sara
A 31.5 cm-high compact platform offered by the manufacturer in Classic, Acqua–Water Kit and Vapore forms. Sara Vapore adds steam capability for customers who also prepare milk-based drinks.
Giulia
A bridge between domestic ritual and professional technique. The documented Giulia specification includes a 4 L glass tank, pressure gauge, safety thermostat and unleaded-brass heat exchanger and throttle.
Cecilia
The professional family for bars, restaurants, hotels and demanding offices. La Piccola lists one- to four-group configurations, separate hot-water and steam boiler architecture and larger-capacity solutions.
La Piccola describes its philosophy as “sustainable luxury”: value comes from durable materials, maintenance and repairability, not from decorative excess. Selected models use glass or porcelain reservoirs; documented models can offer a silver brewing component as an option. We always check the exact manufacturer specification for the specific model rather than copying generic claims from one machine to another.

The Lucaffè collection
Six different interpretations of Italian espresso.
A useful coffee range should help customers choose a flavour, not force every palate into one product. We therefore explain Lucaffè as a spectrum.
Classic
A balanced blend of Arabica and Robusta described by Lucaffè as soft, sweet and classically Italian, with a generous body and medium-dense crema. A natural everyday starting point.
Mr. Exclusive 100% Arabica
A 100% Arabica blend using coffees from tropical areas of South America, Asia and Central Africa. The manufacturer highlights an aromatic, gentler profile with notes reminiscent of toasted bread.
Blucaffè
Lucaffè’s premium direction, associated with old gourmet Arabica plantations and a fruity, floral aromatic profile. It suits customers who want the cup itself to become a tasting moment.
Exquisit
Arabica quality with an assertive touch of chocolaty Robusta. It bridges elegance and a more pronounced espresso body.
Mamma Lucia
An intense traditional Italian espresso blend. Lucaffè describes it as full-bodied yet sweet and particularly suited to morning consumption and higher-volume environments.
Pulcinella
A Neapolitan-style roast with a very intense body. Lucaffè states that the blend is designed to contain more caffeine than the average of its other blends, giving it a deliberately energetic character.
The same flavour logic extends to 44 mm pods. Lucaffè’s official range includes Classic, Blucaffè, Colombia, Decaffeinato Special and Pulcinella in the 44 mm format, allowing customers to combine portion consistency with genuinely different coffee profiles.
Lucaffè · founded 1996 · Lake Garda
Why Lucaffè flavour is shaped long before the beans reach your grinder.
Lucaffè traces its story to 1996 on Lake Garda, where Gian Luca Venturelli developed blends and production methods with an unusually strong focus on the complete path from green coffee to packaging. The company describes quality as a chain of decisions rather than a single roast profile.
Selection and two-stage optical sorting
Lucaffè states that it operates optical sorting for both green and roasted coffee. The purpose is to remove defective or immature beans and create a more consistent sensory profile before the product ever reaches the consumer.
Gentle hot-air roasting
The manufacturer describes a gentle air-roasting method intended to reduce mechanical stress on the bean and protect aromatic oils. For espresso, consistency matters because a small concentrated cup reveals both strengths and flaws very quickly.
Low-temperature grinding without oxygen
Ground coffee oxidises rapidly. Lucaffè therefore highlights low-temperature, oxygen-controlled grinding for formats where coffee is ground before sale, including pods and other portioned products.
Immediate protective packaging
Tins, protective atmosphere and individually wrapped portions are used to limit exposure to oxygen, moisture and light. The objective is straightforward: protect the work already done during selection and roasting until the coffee is actually brewed.
This is the professional reason we do not simply advertise Lucaffè as “the best beans”. Taste is personal. What we can explain is why the beans deserve attention: unusually detailed raw-material control, process consistency, aroma protection and a product family designed for several brewing formats.

How to choose in practice
Four questions that make coffee selection much easier.
What do you drink most?
Straight espresso reveals acidity, sweetness, bitterness and finish. Milk drinks often need a profile that remains present after dilution.
What machine do you use?
Bean-to-cup, traditional espresso and E.S.E. systems extract coffee differently, so the same blend can behave differently.
How many cups per day?
Volume changes the right pack size, freshness strategy and service model.
Consistency or exploration?
Some customers want exactly the same result every morning; others enjoy comparing profiles. Both are valid starting points.
