What is Lugat Coffee?

Lugat’s philosophy

Lugat coffee and MaxiCoffee

Lugat is one of MaxiCoffee’s signature brands, alongside Pérléo and Green Lion Coffee. Lugat was created to share the richness of specialty coffee with a wider audience, without pretension, without complexity, but with a real passion for quality beans and ethical sourcing. You don’t need to master the science of coffee to appreciate Lugat.
Rooted within the MaxiCoffee community, Lugat embodies the same ambition: to make specialty coffee part of everyday life, not just a niche hobby.

Lugat’s vision of coffee

Specialty coffee is a rich and fascinating world: origins, terroirs, fermentation methods, varieties… But Lugat believes one thing matters above all: taste.
Every coffee lover can find a place here.
Those who enjoy gentle, comforting flavours will find warm, smooth coffees made for slow moments.
Fans of intensity can choose bold, structured and powerful blends.
Curious drinkers can explore fruity, adventurous or surprising profiles that awaken the senses.
Lugat doesn’t simplify coffee, it makes it easier to understand and appreciate. Behind each blend or single-origin coffee lies precise craftsmanship that speaks both to newcomers and to experienced coffee lovers.

Lugat’s expertise

Local roasting

All Lugat coffee is roasted locally in the South of France, in small batches, by a team of dedicated roasters. This hands-on approach ensures optimal freshness, a core value for the brand, and a major difference compared to supermarket coffee.
Each coffee is roasted according to a tailored profile, determined by:

• bean density
• moisture level
• the bean’s natural aromatic potential

The goal: to highlight its character, whether chocolaty, fruity, floral or spicy. Aromatic diversity is always at the forefront of Lugat coffee. Freshness and precision are the foundations of Lugat’s roasting philosophy.

High quality standards

Behind Lugat coffee is a team of dedicated roasters who monitor every detail. All coffees are processed in France with rigorous standards at each stage. Each batch is cupped (tasted) to ensure consistency and optimal aromatic expression. Lugat uses the standards of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), selecting only coffees scoring 80/100 or higher, the official definition of specialty coffee.
These evaluations are carried out using professional criteria by Q-Graders, experts certified by the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), recognised for their ability to assess coffee quality with objectivity and precision.
This demanding approach guarantees that every Lugat coffee meets the high expectations of both casual drinkers and specialty enthusiasts.

Committed sourcing with MaxiCoffee Sourcing

Lugat’s sourcing philosophy is guided by the ethical and sustainable charter of MaxiCoffee Sourcing, a dedicated team that works directly with coffee producers around the world. The aim is to build lasting relationships based on transparency, respect and excellence.
Rather than focusing on price, each coffee is selected for what it represents: a terroir, expertise, and human story. Traceability is at the heart of this initiative, with each bean tracked from farm to cup, and each batch highlighting the work of producers committed to sustainable practices.
