Thanks to a balanced palette of flavours, this coffee tastes like you would drink it at a typical Italian establishment. Segafredo coffee beans are harvested on plantations in Costa Rica and Brazil after which they are expertly selected, ensuring that only the best quality beans are used. Segafredo Zanetti is the only coffee brand whose coffee production process is entirely in-house. In that process, Segafredo coffee beans are blended and ground according to the rules of the art, in modern and well-equipped facilities.

The different types of Segafredo

Segafredo, with its sublime blends of the most famous, most prized Italian coffees, is known for Segafredo Zanetti, or Il vero espresso Italiano. This is the true Italian espresso. The proportions for blending are constantly adjusted to maintain the exquisite flavour. So you can also enjoy, for example, Segafredo Intermezzo coffee beans but also Segafredo Intermezzo ground coffee.

The taste of Il vero espresso is very recognisable due to its spicy character and cannot be matched by the other coffees. The flavour experience is like a harmonious blend. Fine, soft as velvet and at the same time a somewhat nutty flavour. The taste of a Segafredo espresso is comprehensive and rich with the subtle touch of hazelnut. Indulge your senses with this full flavour and let the aftertaste of the coffee put a radiant smile on your face too.

Besides the tastiest espresso, you can of course also make other coffees such as latte macchiato, cappuccino, filter coffee or a caffè latte. At Cafe du jour you can choose from a medium body, due to the medium roast, or a strong or intense flavour with full aroma.

Espresso lovers will love it: you can enjoy real Italian coffee. The coffee derived from Segafredo coffee beans is recognisable by its dense, hazelnut-coloured layer of cream. To treat yourself to this delicious coffee at home, you only need two things: a coffee machine and a few grams (or a 1 kg bag) of delicious Segafredo coffee bean blend.

Enjoying Segafredo coffee beans

To fully enjoy your brewed cup, you need to observe a few things. For instance, the date of roasting is important. Coffee is at its tastiest when drunk within 1-2 weeks of roasting. After roasting, coffee beans can be used for a maximum of two months. In ground form about 10 days. A good filter is also important. Furthermore, you also need to buy the right roast. To get the right flavour, use fresh water that is not too soft, as too soft water can lead to a bitter taste. Thanks to these tips, you can enjoy the right, great coffee taste, which will lead to a beaming smile.

Handling Segafredo beans

Before Segafredo coffee beans can be used, they must first be roasted and possibly ground. Only after this can coffee be made. The coffee is roasted in special coffee roasting plants. Although you can also roast the beans yourself at home. Nowadays, people use a lot of ground coffee, but coffee pads are also very popular. Ground coffee is mainly vacuum-packed to preserve the flavour of the Segafredo coffee beans as much as possible. By exposing the ground coffee to air, the fat present in the coffee will oxidise with the oxygen. The occurrence of this oxidation leads to a decrease in the quality of the coffee. It is therefore for these reasons that consumers store coffee in well-sealed cans. Coffee is also sometimes stored in the freezer.
