What This Coffee Tastes Like

Espresso Nero is a bold, full bodied espresso blend crafted for drinkers who want strength, richness, and reliable results in every cup. Built for espresso brewing, it delivers a deep flavour profile with a smooth structure and a satisfying finish.

In the cup, you can expect dominant notes of dark chocolate and cocoa, supported by subtle citrus brightness and a gentle berry sweetness. The balance keeps the espresso expressive without becoming sharp, making it easy to enjoy on its own or with milk.

This blend is designed for daily use and performs consistently across home espresso machines, moka pots, and stovetop brewers. A dependable choice for those who prefer a strong, classic espresso with depth and character.

Roast Profile

Dark Roast

Espresso Nero is roasted dark to deliver intensity, body, and crema first. This roast profile pushes deeper caramelization to create a bold, low-acid espresso with a heavy mouthfeel and a long, chocolate driven finish.

Expect a strong crema, firm structure, and a flavour profile led by dark chocolate and cocoa, balanced by subtle citrus brightness and a smooth berry undertone. The darker development rounds out sharp edges, making this espresso reliable, powerful, and forgiving across different machines.

Designed for home espresso machines, moka pots, and milk based drinks, Espresso Nero is best suited for drinkers who want strength, richness, and consistency in every shot.

Origin Details

Bolivia

Region: Caranavi
Species: Arabica
Altitude: 1,400–1,600 m
Processing: Washed
Coffee from Caranavi is grown on the eastern slopes of the Andes, where high elevations and warm days with cool nights support steady cherry development. These conditions produce coffees with good structure, moderate acidity, and a naturally sweet, chocolate-forward profile that responds well to darker roasting.
Bolivia

Ethiopia (Yirgacheffe)

Region: Yirgacheffe
Processing: Washed
Species: Arabica
Varietals: Heirloom Ethiopian varieties
Altitude: 1700–2200 m
This coffee is sourced from the Yirgacheffe region of southern Ethiopia, an area internationally recognised for producing some of the most aromatic and refined coffees in the world.

Grown at elevations between 1700 and 2200 metres, the high altitude slows cherry maturation, contributing to bright acidity, floral aromatics, and layered complexity. The washed processing method enhances clarity and structure, allowing citrus and floral characteristics to stand out clearly in the cup.

Composed of traditional Ethiopian heirloom varieties, Yirgacheffe coffees are valued for their elegance, balance, and expressive flavour profiles, making them a benchmark for washed African coffees.

Tanzania

Country: Tanzania
Region: Kilimanjaro (North)
Processing: Washed
Altitude: 1350–1850 m
Variety: Kent, Bourbon, Compact (Peaberry)
Coffees from the Kilimanjaro region are cultivated on volcanic slopes with rich soil and consistent rainfall. Washed processing enhances clarity and definition, while peaberry selection contributes to concentration and intensity in the cup.

Its ok. The Ethiopian bean

"Its ok. The Ethiopian bean has been roasted too darkly however and loses its delicate dark berry flavours as a result. I still enjoyed this from my espresso machine."

— Ihor S. (4/5)

Good Canadian roast

"It's good coffee. Not as dark as I usually like, but nice flavor. A bit pricey per lb. I'll finish these 2nlbs and get another 2 before final decision."

— Joseph O. (4/5)

This espresso is good needed

"This espresso is good needed to give it 2 more days from the roast date. So this a coffee that being you/working for you I will tell you that it will be best not to ship before the 12 days of the roast date. I want to order another batch of coffee beans before making my decision for my subscription! I personally like a stronger coffee flare in my espresso shot! I’m not a fan of latte, I drink my coffee black with nothing added to it! But I no that this espresso is great so you need to try it to know it!"

— Patricia P. (4/5)

So Smooth.

"Delicious."
