Dallmayr at a glance

Dallmayr is a family-run delicatessen house in Munich, Germany, and it roasts its coffee in its own German roasteries. The shop was first mentioned around 1700 and has carried the name of its owner Alois Dallmayr since 1870. Coffee became a Dallmayr speciality in 1933, when the Bremen coffee expert Konrad Werner Wille built up its coffee department.

Choosing your Dallmayr coffee

Dallmayr d'Oro: espresso and caffè crema beans

The Dallmayr d'Oro line, launched in 2003, is roasted slowly at a low temperature and sold as 1 kg of beans for bean-to-cup and portafilter machines. Espresso d'Oro is a powerful espresso blend of Central American arabica and Indian robusta, intensity 8 out of 10 on Dallmayr's scale (8 out of 13 on ours), which also works in a moka pot. Crema d'Oro mild & fine is soft and aromatic (6 out of 10, 6 out of 13), a caffè crema that also suits cappuccino. Crema d'Oro intensa is fuller and more intense, with roast notes and little acidity (8 out of 10, 8 out of 13).

Dallmayr Home Barista: dark roasts for milk drinks

Dallmayr roasts its Home Barista beans long and dark. Home Barista Caffè Crema Forte is intense and full-bodied with little acidity, intensity 7 out of 10 (7 out of 13), for caffè crema, espresso or cappuccino. Home Barista Crema e Aroma is strong and aromatic, with a creamy texture that Dallmayr makes for drinks with milk such as latte macchiato (8 out of 10, 8 out of 13).

Dallmayr prodomo: 100% arabica since 1964

Konrad Werner Wille created Dallmayr prodomo in Munich in 1964, and the name is Latin for "for the house". Dallmayr prodomo is 100% arabica from Asia, Africa and South and Central America, with Ethiopian arabica shaping its full-aromatic, spicy taste; strength 4 out of 5 (8 out of 13). Buy prodomo ground for filter brewing or prodomo beans to grind yourself. Without caffeine, the harmonious prodomo Decaf (3 out of 5, 6 out of 13) comes as beans or ground coffee.

Frequently asked questions about Dallmayr coffee

Which Dallmayr coffee should I use in a bean-to-cup machine?

For a bean-to-cup machine, choose whole beans from Dallmayr's d'Oro or Home Barista lines. Crema d'Oro (6 out of 10 on Dallmayr's scale) and Crema d'Oro intensa (8 out of 10) are made for caffè crema, Espresso d'Oro (8 out of 10) for espresso. Home Barista Caffè Crema Forte and Crema e Aroma suit a stronger cup or drinks with milk. Dallmayr prodomo beans also work, for a long black cup without crema.

How should I store Dallmayr coffee once the pack is open?

Dallmayr advises keeping opened coffee in its original pack, away from strong-smelling food and protected from sunlight and moisture. Its own tip is to put the closed pack in the fridge, or better still in the freezer. The advice applies to Dallmayr whole beans and ground coffee alike. Ground coffee loses its aroma faster than beans, so fold the pack shut tightly after every use.

What is the difference between Dallmayr prodomo and Crema d'Oro?

Dallmayr prodomo is a 100% arabica coffee for filter brewing, while Crema d'Oro is a whole-bean coffee for caffè crema from a bean-to-cup or portafilter machine. Dallmayr created prodomo in 1964; it comes ground or as beans in 500 g packs and scores 4 out of 5 on Dallmayr's scale. Crema d'Oro belongs to the slow-roasted d'Oro line, comes in 1 kg bags and scores 6 out of 10.
