About us

Quality coffee, made with respect for people

MOGI Caffè was founded in 2007 in Bergamo by Monica Forcella, a doctor in agronomy, and Gianluigi Forcella, drawing on 30 years of family experience in coffee distribution. Since 2021 we've been a Benefit Corporation: gender equality, sustainability, culture and collaboration are values formalized in our by-laws.

We serve around 500 customers among bars, restaurants, hotels and offices across Lombardy, Lazio and Tuscany, and export to Germany, France, Switzerland, Romania, Bulgaria, and premium markets in Hong Kong.
