COFFEE MACHINES
years of experience
From the moment we created the Spetema brand back in 1999, we set out to be the best. And we are because we know the right path: high quality combined with constant care.
Experience, loyalty, corporate responsibility, and innovation- Spetema’s key to sustainable brand development.
We do our best to deliver true enjoyment in every cup of coffee. We achieve this through craftsmanship and attention to detail.
We continuously monitor and control the quality standards in place, as well as every step of the process involved in creating each Spetema product.
Quality achieved through traceability and full control over the supply chain.
We know that to remain a leader, we cannot compromise on the quality of our coffee. We work with high standards and they are important for every one of our employees, every one of our production processes.
We put maximum care into every Spetema product - from choosing it, through delivery and roasting, to packaging.
We use high-tech equipment, the coffee processing is almost entirely automated, and the process is controlled with the most modern equipment, by a highly qualified staff.
The care for our coffee is the care for our customers!
In 1999, we felt sufficiently experienced and mature to create our own brand. Our company was already established on the market and people knew us. We wanted to offer coffee not just as a regular product of everyday life, but as an experience. Thus, Spetema was born - an amazing, delicious journey through the five senses - to see, touch, listen, smell and taste sweetness and purity, but also bitterness and intriguing sensory exoticism in every cup of coffee.
No other brand knows the preferences of the Bulgarian consumers better than we do. Even if we were to call our coffee a “boutique”, it would be produced “on order” for the Bulgarian customer. It is the result of constant research into the tastes and habits of the consumer. If tomorrow they change, we will produce a new coffee blend that will answer the new desire for taste. And so in 2000 we created the Spetema Ragazzi blend and started a new experience that has developed over the years into a variety of packaging and preparation methods.
We didn’t stop here, but continued to follow the preferences of our customers. We realized that we needed to offer the market a sought-after and valued variety - a bio product. Our parent company, Balkan Group EOOD, is the only certified Bulgarian producer of bio coffee.
For us, the greatest award is the recognition of our customers. In 2015, Spetema was honored with the prize for the Favorite Brand of the Bulgarian Consumer. This motivates us to continue with even greater enthusiasm to earn and further this recognition.
The following year, Spetema Green Coffee was awarded the title of Innovative Product at the exhibition in Amsterdam, Netherlands. We felt proud, but didn’t become complacent—we kept growing and evolving.
One of Spetema’s biggest fans, who won the grand prize in the “From Spetema to Cuba” campaign, had the chance to personally experience our careful approach to selecting our exceptional products and their producers. His favorite morning cup of Spetema took him on a journey to Cuba, where he visited a boutique coffee farm and enjoyed the taste and aroma of his coffee right at the source—set to the rhythm of salsa.
Throughout our development, we’ve kept pace with every innovation in the coffee industry. We quickly sense emerging trends in coffee consumption and offer our customers all the modern brewing methods to match their daily rhythm. In 2018, we launched our automated packaging line, producing Nespresso-compatible capsules that provide a fast and convenient way to enjoy delicious, high-quality espresso.
The very next year, we expanded our product range with Dolce Gusto-compatible capsules, thanks to the addition of another automated packaging line specialized in their production.
We all remember how difficult the COVID-19 pandemic was—especially for our doctors, who risked their health and lives every day to save others. They needed to stay alert, focused, and capable of making quick, sound decisions. A nearly impossible task, especially under such relentless pressure. The only way to maintain that level of performance was with the help of quality coffee. Understanding this essential need, we didn’t hesitate to support them. We provided free coffee and coffee machines to several hospitals, including Pirogov, University Hospital in Plovdiv, St. Sofia, Second City Hospital, St. Anna (District Hospital), and others.
Throughout our more than 20 years of presence on the Bulgarian market, we’ve built a reputation as trendsetters. To uphold this image, in 2021 we decided it was time for a rebranding. We wanted our brand’s visual identity to reflect the contemporary *Zeitgeist*—the spirit of the times—as well as our expanded product range. Elegant, clean lines evoking the rising steam from a cup of coffee became a central element in our new packaging and logo design.
In addition to our brand design, we continue to set the standard in embracing the latest trends in coffee production. Operating state-of-the-art production facilities comes with many advantages—higher efficiency, optimized product cost, and a commitment to social responsibility through more environmentally friendly processes. In 2022, we installed the highest-performance machine in Bulgaria for packaging 3-in-1 instant coffee.
Social responsibility is a commitment we never stop prioritizing. Modernizing our vehicle fleet is part of that effort. In 2023, we purchased our first electric vehicle.
Winning the title of “Favorite Brand of the Bulgarian Consumer” for the 10th consecutive year is proof that we’ve continued to do our job well. To this day, we remain dedicated to ensuring that every cup of our coffee gives Bulgarian consumers the feeling of enjoying something they truly love.
Who we are today is the result of persistence, consistency, patience, and hard work. Spetema has a long history of growth, with personal care for our customers remaining at the heart of everything we do—even now. And we believe the story is far from over.
We begin with a careful selection of coffee varieties. Once the beans arrive at our factory, they are meticulously sorted with strict control over their ripeness and moisture content. Using a specialized technology, we remove any foreign matter and impurities.
Next comes the roasting process. Each blend is roasted at its own specific temperature and to its ideal color. The beans are treated with preheated air, enabling a high hourly output of 4,000 kg—ensuring both production efficiency and environmental sustainability. All processes are managed from a fully automated control room by our highly qualified team.
Our coffee roasters are manufactured by PROBAT, the German company that leads the industry in this type of equipment. With over 150 years of experience, PROBAT has perfected the art of coffee processing.
In the final stage—packaging—we “dress” our products in their beautiful attire: our specially designed packaging. It’s not just about making the coffee visually appealing to our customers, but also about offering it in the quantities they prefer, while preserving its quality in perfect condition.
As a leading and successful company in Bulgarian business, we embrace our social responsibility by ensuring that part of our profits are reinvested into society for meaningful causes. Through the Spetema brand, we support a wide range of initiatives related to sports, culture, the arts, healthy living, charitable projects, concerts, competitions, public celebrations, and much more.

We are the largest coffee producer in the Balkan Peninsula. This is a source of pride—but also a tremendous responsibility. That’s why we never compromise on quality. We strictly follow the traditional recipes of each blend, from roasting and grinding to packaging.
Since 2000, we have been a member and the national representative of the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE). But that’s not all—we are BRC certified for food safety across both Bulgarian and international supply chains. We also follow the FSSC standard, ensuring full compliance with legal regulations and guaranteeing the safety of our products.
We haven’t forgotten the smallest players in the chain—the growers. Certifications from the 4C Association, UTZ, and Fairtrade confirm the sustainability of coffee farming and 100% fair supply practices. We also support producers through programs that help finance and grow their businesses.
The world around us is constantly changing, and we refuse to stand still. We strive to meet the challenges of environmental protection by actively working on more recyclable packaging solutions and incorporating bioplastics into our products.
We’ve also implemented targeted solutions focused on sustainable development and the circular economy, aimed at minimizing transport and logistics costs.
Driven by our commitment to environmental care, we use roasting systems with the highest energy efficiency, as well as nitrogen packaging methods that have the lowest possible impact on the environment.
