about us

Since 2009 a modern history

An all-female company

For over fifteen years, 7Gr has been telling an all-Italian story of passion for coffee. Sevengrams was founded in late 2009 in Milan by Mary, Angelita, Anna, and Daniela Mauro: four sisters born into a family with a long tradition in coffee roasting. Their new venture aimed to revive the Italian espresso tradition and elevate the daily ritual into a memorable tasting experience. In 2008, after selling their shares in the family’s former coffee business and accumulating years of valuable experience, they embarked on a new entrepreneurial challenge.

This all-women team was later joined by Chiara Bergonzi, an SCA trainer, consultant, and prominent figure in the specialty coffee industry. Chiara now plays a pivotal role in the Sevengrams team, overseeing Coffee Studio training programs, customer development, and the production activities related to the Lot Zero project, of which she is a co-founder.

Why 7 grams?

Our Brand

You need 7 grams of finely ground coffee to make a rich, full-bodied, perfectly extracted shot of espresso. Not a gram more or less. 7Gr. is a brand that, from its very name, declares its mission and philosophy: to offer an excellent, simply perfect espresso. While proudly rooted in our Italian origins, we recognize that a product’s culture transcends geographic borders.

That’s why we’ve chosen a brand that can be understood in all languages, especially within the global community of coffee enthusiasts. It’s a gesture of respect towards those who, regardless of their country of origin, share our passion for espresso.

Not only 7 grams

Lot Zero and Specialty Coffee

In 2018, the Lot Zero line was launched, dedicated exclusively to the excellence of the “specialty” world. It features highly prestigious origins, produced in micro-lots, completely traceable, and carefully processed after harvesting. This line is crafted to satisfy the most discerning palates and offers various extraction methods beyond espresso.

Our specialty coffees, whether single origin or blend, undergo meticulous selection and blending by Chiara Bergonzi, who oversees every stage of the artisanal production and roasting process. Her goal is to fully express and enhance the precious sensory characteristics of the best beans available.
