Classic Italian espresso, strong and satisfying with notes of dark chocolate, praline and caramel.

Bean to cup espresso machine users are often disappointed to discover that dark roasted beans aren't recommended for their machines, simply because their oils tend to lead to clogged burrs, which is an issue with most bean to cup coffee machines as they don't usually have removable burrs.

Fear not, if you love classic Italian espresso blends and you have a bean to cup coffee machine, these beans deliver the classic profile you'll love, without the potential damage to your machine.

How it Tastes

This is a classic satisfyingly traditional Italian espresso profile, punchy with dark chocolate, praline and caramel notes, and you can enjoy this coffee without worrying about clogging up your burrs, which is a big positive for bean to cup coffee machine users.

These beans aren't only great for bean to cup coffee machine users, of course, they'll work with all espresso machines paired with stand alone grinders, and integrated grinder espresso machines - and this is also a great blend for stove top & cafetiere.

Classic Arabica and Robusta Blend

This is a great example of the art of coffee blending, and goes to show that you don't necessarily have to use roast level to produce punchiness and intensity.

It's a blend of high quality Arabica and Robusta beans, which is the standard for Italian espresso blends, but the mix of the beans used leads to the satisfying punch, without having to roast quite to the same classic Italian dark roast profile.

Mmm ….. get the grinder going!

My first ‘bean’ purchase for my (first) bean to cup coffee machine. The aroma from the bag was amazing. The Italian blend coffee is nice and smooth with lots of flavour but not too strong.
My four star rating is because of a little problem with the bag. A quick message to let them know and another bag arrived free of charge 2 days later. So a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
really!

Espresso blend. Very smooth chocolate experience with slight bitter undertones and a caffeine wallop to finish.

Now that is what I call quality

The depth of flavour in these beans is incredible. Has a beautiful dark chocolate aftertaste that stays in my mouth for a good hour after I drink it as flat white. I pull shots with Lelit Bianca on 93 degree brew temp, 27 seconds shot time and the result is an absolute joy. I don't think I can try any other beans now.

Superb coffee

We absolutely love the 'Classic Italian Espresso Blend'; we've been searching for a blend of beans with depth of flavour and a smooth profile for a while and were delighted when we found Kev, his blog, his help, and especially this blend - highly recommend them!!
