About BUGAN COFFEE LAB
BUGAN COFFEE LAB helped shape Italy's specialty coffee movement long before it became mainstream. Founded in Bergamo by siblings Maurizio and Sonia Valli, the roastery combines a micro-roastery, coffee academy, cupping room and café under one roof. Every coffee starts with careful sourcing and is roasted to reflect its origin instead of fitting a fixed flavour profile.
Seasonal microlots, transparent traceability and education remain central to the project. Whether you're looking for espresso or filter coffee, Bugan offers coffees selected for clarity, balance and character while continuing to influence the Italian specialty coffee scene through training, competition and direct relationships across the coffee supply chain.
