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.

Best all rounder

I have a delonghi Revelia bean to cup machine and the classic Italian is the best one I’ve tried for all hot drinks from espresso to milkies. Great coffee and excellent customer service, won’t go anywhere else. Cheers Kev and team.

Thank you for such a lovely review Susan. We really do appreciate your kind words :-)

Good Coffee

My favourite blend on the menu.
I use a stove top espresso maker and drink it black. For me it’s perfect. A very gentle toast which was a big surprise. Full, rich and well balanced flavours that last long after you’ve finished your cup.

Well balanced flavour

This is a nice all round roast. I had to adjust my grinder a few settings coarser for this over beans from the supermarket. Once dialled in it produces a nice balanced flavour and suits a flat white or cortado.

Classic Italian Espresso

I was looking to buy a kilo of beans which I grind to order, when I stumbled across the Coffee Works blog. I use a cafetiere which is my favourite as I don't like the sometimes scorched taste of espresso, and I drink it black. This for me is a perfect everyday coffee - tasty and with a kind of toasty finish. Very happy with my purchase.
