Caffè Hausbrandt Qualità Rossa - coffee beans - 1 kilo

Yes. The Qualità Rossa comes as whole beans in a 1 kilo bag and has a medium roast, so no blackened, oily bean. A bean to cup machine handles that nicely.

Customers regularly ask us which Hausbrandt suits their bean to cup machine. According to our product data this blend is suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino, so you can use it in many ways.

The Qualità Rossa is the red label variant from Hausbrandt and consists of 70 percent arabica and 30 percent robusta.

The robusta share provides extra body, a firm crema and a spicy note. If you prefer a milder cup without robusta, take a look at a blend of 100 percent arabica.

According to our product data the beans come from Brazil and India. They are roasted in Italy, at Hausbrandt in Trieste.

Hausbrandt has been roasting typically Italian blends there since 1892, and you taste that Italian style in this Qualità Rossa.

We list the Qualità Rossa with the flavour notes chocolatey and spicy, at intensity 7 on our scale, in other words powerful. The roast is medium, which makes the coffee robust without the sharp bitterness of a very dark roast.

It is an all-round coffee for any moment of the day, which comes into its own both as an espresso and in a regular cup of coffee.

For filter coffee count on about 5 to 8 grams per cup, for a double espresso about 16 to 20 grams. If you find the coffee too bitter, use a slightly coarser grind size; if it tastes too sour, grind finer or dose a bit higher.

Store the 1 kilo bag cool, dark and well sealed and do not put it in the fridge. Ideally you grind it only just before brewing.
