Espresso Blend, 70% Arabica and 30% Robusta

Espresso Blend 70% Arabica 30% Robusta — The True Artisanal Italian Espresso

There's a moment in the day that belongs only to you: the first cup of coffee in the morning. Our Espresso Blend 70% Arabica and 30% Robusta was created to make that moment unforgettable. Since 2012, in our artisanal roastery, we meticulously select and roast each batch to offer you an espresso that tastes like true Italy: a dense, hazelnut-colored crema, full body, and a long, enveloping aftertaste.

The Origins: A Journey in a Cup

Every bean tells a story. Our blend comes from the encounter of complementary origins, selected for altitude and processing method:

• 70% Premium Arabica — Colombia, India, Brazil, Ethiopia (1,000–1,600 m): natural sweetness, aromatic complexity, balanced acidity
• 30% Robusta Tanzania — grown at lower altitudes, natural processing: structured body, persistent crema, notes of dark chocolate and sweet tobacco

The 70/30 combination is not random: it is the result of years of testing and tasting to find the perfect balance between the delicacy of Arabica and the power of Robusta.

Sensory Profile

• Aroma: Intense, enveloping — dark chocolate, toasted hazelnut, caramel
• Body: Full and round, with a velvety texture in the cup
• Crema: Dense, persistent, hazelnut-colored — a sign of freshness and roasting quality
• Acidity: Low (2/5) — never sharp, always smooth
• Intensity: 4/5 — strong character without being aggressive
• Aftertaste: Long, with notes of cocoa and sweet spices

Artisanal Small-Batch Roasting

Our artisanal medium roast (Medium Roast) is the heart of this blend. Unlike industrial roasting — fast and standardized — our process is slow and controlled: each batch is monitored in real-time to enhance the essential oils of the bean without ever burning it. Immediate air cooling preserves the volatile aromas that make every cup unique.

The result? A coffee that tastes like true craftsmanship, freshly roasted and shipped within a few days of roasting.

How to Prepare It Best

This blend is versatile and performs well with multiple extraction methods:

• Espresso — temperature 90–92°C, 25–28 seconds, 7g per single shot. Abundant crema guaranteed.
• Moka Pot — medium-fine grind, low heat. Enhances chocolate and hazelnut notes.
• Automatic Machine — standard settings, excellent results even with milk for cappuccino and macchiato.

Roaster's tip: for espresso, use filtered water at 91°C and 9 bar pressure. The crema will tell you if you've found the perfect spot.

Available Formats

Available in 250g, 500g, and 1kg whole bean. Grinding upon request available at the time of order. Packaging with degassing valve to preserve the freshness of the aromas.
