That’s right, right here in Barcelona you can buy high-quality coffee in bulk. At Cafés El Magnífico, they specialize in selling their coffee at retail prices for a wholesale stock to supply people with the best coffee for a lengthy period. Nobody should go to a café every single day when they can make their own at home.

Taste, buy, import, roast, and prepare are their five steps before delivering it to customers. They always seek to improve with the help of coffee experts at their disposal and customer feedback.
The Velasco family started El Magnífico in La Ribera back in 1919, but the brand did not emerge until 1962. In 1989, the family business got involved in importing coffee and opened up their first shop. Committed to coffee culture, the family established the Forum Cultural del Café in 1996 with five other coffee companies, followed by the Cup of Excellence competition three years later to determine the best original coffee makers annually. The Velasco family maintains its proud tradition of making and selling the finest coffee beans and grounds to everyone that visits the shop.

They carry various types of coffee based on origin, blend, caffeine content, and “exceptional” coffee. Their coffee of origin comes from multiple countries, including Colombia, Kenya, Panama, El Salvador, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. A unique blend type mixes two opposing types to give more of a specialized balance than one single blend. Their “exceptional” coffee is the highest quality. It’s organic coffee and the beans they import come from some of the most exclusive farming lands that border Ethiopia and Sudan, also called Arabica.
