Nicaf Espresso Systems - Lavazza Blue, La Cimbali and Ronnefeldt Distributor

Nicola Caricola, managing director and former professional football player from Italy, established Nicaf Traders in 2005 with the initial goal of bringing true Italian Espresso Culture and Lavazza to South Africa. Through his passion for coffee, patience, experience and success, this vision has grown and developed further after discovering a need in the market and creating a reputation to make it possible.

Nicaf Traders officially started trading in September 2005, focusing exclusively on the Lavazza Blue System. Since then the strength of our brand has ensured a phenomenally successful growth pattern. The brand acceptance spans all markets segments with our positioning strategy aimed at Lavazza being the number one choice for the discerning coffee drinker.
