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.

Coffee

This is the second variety I’ve ordered from The Coffee Works (the first being 'Chocolate Brownie') and is my favourite thus far (whole beans), having a slightly sharper/stronger taste. I use a 'bean-to-cup' Gaggia machine at home. Ultimately, it’s all down to personal taste as to which flavour profile we each prefer, but this is great as a daily flat white and my wife (who doesn’t really like coffee?! - I know, and we’re still married) enjoys this as a straight americano.
Very helpful people at The Coffee Works on hand for any advice and the coffee is despatched on time and arrives promptly, freshly roasted and sealed, ready to enjoy.
Buy some and drink it.

Classic Italian Espresso Blend - Beans

Thought I’d try this blend as a change from ‘Chocolate Brownie’ as I wanted something a little sharper in taste. Doesn’t disappoint, not too strong or dark but it has that slight acidity which I’m enjoying. Works well in my Gaggia bean to cup

Great Blend - From a fantastic team

Used this coffee after debating whether to order. Usually get illy intenso pre ground and was not sure my cheap espresso machine could cope with “proper” coffee. It does makes a great cup, brings out the best in the little machine. I can actually taste the flavours and look forward to trying the other blends from cworks.

Big thank you.

PS. Learnt so much about coffee from your blog and YouTube, brilliant work from Kev and the team.
