A PORTUGUESE COFFEE HERITAGE
Where Every Cup Has a Story.
From the heart of Lisbon to homes across Australia, discover more than two centuries of Portuguese coffee, culture, and connection.
Uma história com alma. A story with soul.
Café Nicola is a symbol of the history of Lisbon.
It’s a Café full of history, tradition, and culture. It was and still is one of the preferable meeting places of Lisbon’s intellectual elite, like the poet Bocage, who was a habitué and now has a statue as a reminder.
The Nicola Story
A Heritage of Coffee, Culture and Quality
Nicola’s story is rooted in Lisbon’s café culture, where writers, thinkers and friends gathered over coffee and conversation. Among its celebrated visitors was the Portuguese poet, Bocage.
Nicola established its own roasting factory in Venda Nova, developing the expertise and consistency enjoyed by generations of coffee lovers.
In 2017, Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group created MZBI to unite established coffee brands across Portugal and Spain, including Nicola and Chave D’Ouro.

MZBI, Massimo Zanetti Beverage Ibéria, brought together Segafredo Zanetti Portugal and Nutricafés, home of the much-loved Nicola and Chave D’Ouro brands. Nandi coffees joined the family in 2019.
Bringing these established brands together strengthened roasting, grinding, packaging and distribution capabilities. MZBI is now one of the three largest operators in Portugal's beverage market, supplying supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, cafés and offices.
A coffee tradition loved in Portugal finds a new home through Casa de Aroma, bringing a little Portuguese warmth to Australian mornings.
