Our recommendations for espresso machines

For many years we have lived our passion for Italian espresso coffees, and in the process our range has grown year after year. Many of the roasters we have discovered during our travels in Italy, others were recommended to us by customers.

Therefore, it is quite normal that getting started in our world of Italian bar coffees is often a challenge, given the variety.

We recommend this espresso variety as an introduction to the world of Italian bar coffees

All three coffees are characterized by a rounded taste and are popular with our customers both as espresso and cappuccino. For beginners in the preparation with portafilter espresso machines, these selected coffees still offer the advantage of providing very tasty results even without the perfect settings.

Caffè Grosmi Elite

80% Arabica from Sacile. This espresso from Caffè Grosmi convinces with its firm crema and intense aroma.

Golden Brasil Brown

60% Arabica from Rome. Perfectly balanced coffee with long-lasting, pleasant, velvety aftertaste. The "golden" middle of the trio.

Altamura Gold

100% Arabica from Naples. Taste the most intense of the three coffees, the roasted flavors nevertheless remain in the background.

The Italian coffee roasting is typically from northern Italy (Grosmi - Sacile) to central Italy (Golden Brasil - Rome) to southern Italy (Altamura - Naples) increasingly dark roasted. This makes the roasted aromas more intense and the nutty notes come to the fore. The proportion of robusta beans also gives these varieties your typical full-bodied taste.

Therefore, these three coffees represent a good cross-section to enter the world of Italian espresso coffees: from northern Italy to central Italy to the south! So you get an impression of which coffee is more to your taste: the lighter roasts from the north or rather the dark, Robusta-heavy espresso blends from the south.

We hope you enjoy tasting these coffees!
