The century-old family business with a coffee Guinness Record

Cafés La Mexicana, a century-old family-owned company based in Madrid, has maintained its position as a leading coffee brand in Spain. The company, founded in 1890 by Dolores Levil Biel, has been recognized with a Guinness World Record for selling the most coffee in the world. Currently, Cafés La Mexicana operates eight owned stores, eight franchises, and 12 corners, including one in its 1,800-square-meter factory in Ciudad Lineal, where it roasts, packages, and grinds 100% Arabica coffee beans.

The company plans to expand its Fanático café and open two new locations, and is set to launch a new coffee reference, Puro Cielo, a 100% Costa Rican volcanic high-altitude coffee.
