Mahmoud Maatouk, born in Beirut in 1931, started working at 18 and opened the first Maatouk Maison du Caf\u00e9 roastery in Azarieh in 1960. During the civil war the family moved to the UK and set up a coffee factory in Hayes, later adding D\u00fcsseldorf, before settling back in Lebanon in the 1990s. In 2001 his son Jawad opened a production plant in the Bchamoun industrial area, and in 2003 the Azarieh store reopened in Downtown Beirut. The range is built around Lebanese coffee (Premium, Gourmet and Best Caf\u00e9 blends, plain or with cardamom), plus Turkish coffee, espresso and filter blends and a short list of single-origin specialty beans. The company says it uses 100% Arabica and that its factory is ISO 22000 certified.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Maatouk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Bchamoun, Mount Lebanon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>1960<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founders<\/th>\n<td>Mahmoud Maatouk, Jawad Maatouk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Lebanese coffee (Premium, Gourmet and Best Caf\u00e9 blends), coffee with cardamom, Turkish coffee, espresso blends, filter coffee, single-origin specialty beans<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Supermarkets in Lebanon such as Carrefour; also sold in markets including the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Germany, Canada, Australia and the USA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Website<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/maatouk.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maatouk.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Beirut coffee roaster since 1960, known for Lebanese coffee blends with and without cardamom.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Maatouk at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>First roastery opened in Azarieh, Beirut in 1960<\/li>\n<li>Factory in the Bchamoun industrial area since 2001<\/li>\n<li>Uses 100% Arabica beans<\/li>\n<li>Factory holds ISO 22000 food safety certification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is behind Maatouk<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mahmoud Maatouk<\/strong> (Founder).
