Gorilla Super Bar Crema box discount

Gorilla Super Bar Crema is a dark-roasted espresso blend of arabica and robusta beans in a 1 kg bag, and Joerges presents it as an all-rounder with a great crema. On the red bag the name is written as one word, Superbar Crema, with ‘strong intense’ and ‘dark roast’ underneath.

Flavour: chocolate, nuts and a hint of honey

Gorilla Super Bar Crema has an intense aroma of chocolate and nuts, rounded off by a subtle honey note; the nutty tones come through most in the finish. Gorilla’s flavour profile also lists a berry note. The crema is stable, foamy and hazel-brown, and the taste is round and powerful with low acidity.

How strong is Gorilla Super Bar Crema?

Gorilla Super Bar Crema is strong but not the strongest in the range: it scores 8 out of 13 on our scale and Gorilla intensity 8 out of 10. The pure robusta Bar Crema sits above it at 10; Super Bar Crema adds arabica to the robusta. See more arabica and robusta blends if you like this style.

Brewing Gorilla Super Bar Crema

Gorilla Super Bar Crema is meant for a semi-automatic espresso machine with a portafilter or a bean-to-cup machine. Use it for espresso, or as the base for cappuccino, latte macchiato and milky coffee. Joerges drum-roasts each bean type separately for 12–20 minutes at 180–220 °C and only blends them afterwards.
