Compared to tea, coffee is a very “young” drink. It began to be used much later. Now tens of millions of people around the world start their day with a cup of aromatic hot drink. And some countries receive a significant share of their budget from growing coffee trees and selling beans abroad. True, roasting, grinding (if necessary) and packaging, as a rule, are carried out in other countries (in Europe - most often Germany, Italy or France). The Moscow coffee shop on shares is one of the largest enterprises in our country operating in this industry. It has achieved significant success in its activities.
Company Description
The year of foundation is 1997. At first, the company imported grains, roasted them and packaged them. There was also a site for the production of ground coffee. But the instant one was only imported and packaged under its own brand.
The year 2004 is considered the most important stage in the life of the enterprise. At this time, a completely new plant was launched in the village of Tuchkovo near Ruza (Moscow region). It produces instant coffee “Coffee shop on shares” in various versions (sublimated, granulated and powdered).
The company offers customers various types of coffee
History of the “Moscow coffee shop on shares” brand and coffee production
The company appeared on the market back in 1997. Initially, it was the official distributor of Nestle. At that time, MCPs had not even thought about their own production - there was no coffee industry in Russia at all.
However, at the turn of the millennium, the brand owners began to think about new prospects. At first, they opened their own line for roasting beans. The raw materials came from Switzerland, and packaging was done there. But in 2002, Denmark opened its own full-cycle production: the company began producing granulated and freeze-dried coffee under its own brand. Already in 2004, the products were awarded a prestigious quality award.
Attention!
Today, Coffee House on Shares operates on its own raw materials - it owns coffee tree plantations in Africa and South America. The production lines are fully automated, the share of manual labor is no more than 2%.
MKP is one of the top five Russian coffee producers. Its representative offices operate in 50 regions of the Russian Federation, and its products can be found in all major domestic retail chains. The brand is also represented in the CIS countries - Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine.
Raw materials and production procedure
Those who are interested in what a coffee shop is, can easily find out that it is a full-cycle enterprise. Raw materials, that is, coffee beans, arrive at the ports, after which they go directly to the plant. Here operations such as frying (depending on the type and, accordingly, consumer preferences), grinding (this, again, can be adjusted) and packaging in various containers (polyethylene, glass, metal) are performed. Soluble varieties require additional procedures.
Production in Tuchkovo is incredibly modern. It is equipped with the latest technology. The degree of automation is as much as 98% . This means that human influence on the entire process is minimal, which, in turn, allows us to obtain consistently high characteristics of the finished product.
As for raw materials, the two most popular varieties in the world - Robusta coffee and Arabica coffee - are not purchased by Coffee House on Pai from third-party companies (as competitors most often do), but are grown independently! Of course, not in Russia (the climate is not suitable), but in Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Therefore, coffee shop specialists regularly carry out appropriate inspections.
Composition and production
While the majority of domestic coffee industry companies use purchased raw materials, MKP uses beans grown on its own plantations in its production. The coffee beans used in production are grown in Colombia and other countries of South America, Cameroon and Central African countries. Primary processing is also carried out on site.
The use of advanced agricultural methods for processing plantings allows harvesting several times a year. Thanks to this, the company does not experience a shortage of raw materials and does not depend on fluctuations in coffee prices on the world market.
Stable quality is achieved through almost complete automation of production: all processes - from loading green beans to packaging - are carried out using high-tech equipment. Thanks to this approach, the taste and aroma of the grains are fully preserved.

The official Internet page is mknp.ru. It has everything a consumer needs - a brief history and production, a presentation of the range of coffee that is currently being produced, and clear contact information (address of the plant in Tuchkovo and a telephone number for contact with any questions).

Product range of the “Moscow coffee shop on shares”
A characteristic feature of most varieties is that coffee is produced in several forms at once: beans, ground and instant. Some brands are also available in Nespresso capsules.
Arabica
Premium grains from our own Colombian plantations. Traditional roasting gives the drink a multifaceted and soft taste with light sourness and hints of chocolate. The manufacturer recommends using boiling water when preparing natural coffee - this way the aroma is better revealed. The company produces this popular variety in all forms, including capsules.
Colombo
A blend of Arabica beans from South and Central America. The variety is addressed to those who prefer tart coffee of medium strength. Viennese roasting promotes the release of sugars, so the drink is characterized by a caramel aroma and a sweetish aftertaste.
Suare
Coffee with a noble and rich taste, inspired by the indescribable atmosphere of Parisian cafes. Moderately strong drink with intense aroma. The sourness is practically not felt in the taste.
Espresso
A blend of seven elite Arabica varieties from plantations in South America, Africa and Indonesia. Dark Venetian roasting gives the drink the taste and aroma of real Italian espresso. Ground coffee is added to instant coffee granules, which preserves its taste. Espresso is available in single-serve capsules.
Mocha
A blend of Arabica beans from South and Central America with the addition of African Robusta. A refreshing and tonic drink with chocolate tones in taste and a delicate bouquet. The variety can be used in coffee machines or brewed over a fire.
Good morning
Ultra-fine ground coffee is made from Arabica beans from Cameroon and Ethiopia with the addition of Robusta. A drink with a pleasant rich taste and slight bitterness. Suitable for cooking directly in the cup. The manufacturer produces coffee only in ground form, packaged in bags with a degassing valve.
Tsar Peter
The strongest variety in the line. The blend contains robusta from Brazil. An invigorating drink with a complex taste and exquisite aroma. To soften the characteristic bitterness, the manufacturer advises adding cream or milk. The variety is ideal for making lattes.
Where to buy products
Today, the company does not have its own official online store at all. This is due to the fact that the company is focused specifically on the production and wholesale shipment of coffee, but retail sales are carried out by those who are professionals in this particular activity. You can buy instant “Coffee in shares” (as well as all its other types present in the product line) everywhere. It is found in online stores (for example, Coffee and Tea Shop), large hypermarkets (including Auchan), small convenience stores and markets.

- grain;
- ground;
- sublimated;
- granulated.
Capsules for Nespresso coffee machines are also produced. Each type of Coffee Shops on Shares is presented in different versions.
Arabica
The coffee beans for this variety are grown on high mountain plantations in South American Colombia. The trees grow there semi-wildly (natural groves, which are looked after by fertilizing the soil and organizing an irrigation system), so the collection and initial sorting are done manually.
The medium degree of roasting carefully preserves the softness of the taste and exquisite aroma. When you sip the drink, you can feel the slight sourness characteristic of Arabica, and you can clearly feel the chocolate and fruit notes.
Colombo
Lovers of rich flavors who find pure Arabica too soft should try a Colombian blend with the addition of a small amount of Robusta. The dark roast adds caramelization, which balances out the slight bitterness. Bright notes of chocolate are felt on the sip.
Suare
In this blend, the creators tried to convey the light festive atmosphere inherent in Parisian coffee shops. The drink has an invigorating aroma, bright taste with a light, almost imperceptible bitterness and a rich, balanced aftertaste.
Mocha
The blend of grains grown on plantations in Cameroon and Central Africa seems to have absorbed the brightness of the equatorial sun. This refreshing and tonic drink is rich in sip, with a slight bitterness and a complex, harmonious taste. Ideal for making coffee in a cezve and in a coffee machine.
Espresso
A blend of elite varieties of Colombian and African Arabica beans will not leave anyone indifferent. Dark roasting fully reveals the smallest nuances of the taste and aroma of coffee beans. The release form is varied: grain, ground and instant powder with the addition of natural ultra-fine coffee.
Good morning
This blend contains the best varieties of Arabica and Robusta from Ethiopia and Cameroon. The drink turns out to be unusually invigorating, with a fresh, bright taste. The ultra-fine grind is ideal for preparing crisp espresso and ristretto or for brewing in a cup.
Chicory
The MCP product range also includes coffee substitutes. Freeze-dried soluble granules are available in two degrees of roasting:
- dark - rich and bright, reminiscent of natural espresso;
- medium, lighter, almost without bitterness, revealing a bright, unique taste.
Low-temperature processing allows you to preserve all the beneficial substances contained in the beans.
