Is the Original Beans Esmeraldas Vegan Almond really vegan?

Yes, Original Beans developed this bar as vegan chocolate. Instead of cow's milk the maker uses almond, hence the name almond milk chocolate. The bar therefore contains almond and is not suitable if you are allergic to nuts. If you are in any doubt or have an allergy, always check the label on the packaging.

What does the Joerges Heritage Espresso taste like?

The Heritage Espresso is a strongly roasted coffee in the Neapolitan style, made with premium Robusta beans.

You taste refined notes of nuts and chocolate, with a spicy and powerful body. The slow roasting process, in which the beans crack twice, creates the characteristic, full aroma.

If you find it too bitter, use a slightly coarser grind size or let the espresso run for a shorter time.

Is L'OR Vibrant Espresso comparable to the Piazza D'Oro Intenso?

Yes. The Piazza D'Oro range has been taken out of production and L'OR Vibrant Espresso is inspired by the former Piazza D'Oro Intenso. Within the L'OR range this is the powerful variant.

With an intensity of 8 it is a distinctly strong blend, in a 1 kilo bag of whole coffee beans.

Which coffee machines can I use the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Original Blend in?

Costa Coffee primarily intended this Caffe Crema Original Blend for automatic espresso machines and portafilter machines. According to Costa, the coffee also works well in a filter coffee machine, a Moka pot and a French press. Because you receive whole beans, you grind them yourself to the right grind size for those last methods. In a bean to cup machine you simply put the beans into the bean hopper unground.

What are the dimensions of the JoeFrex knock box?

The JoeFrex knock box measures 14 x 14 x 14 cm (width x depth x height). So it is exactly as tall as it is wide and takes up about as much space on your worktop as a large mug with a square base.

We get this question quite often, because the dimensions are hard to judge from a product photo. So just to be sure, measure how much room you have free next to or under your machine.

What do you use the mesh tea tongs for?

With these tea tongs you quickly make a cup of fresh loose tea. You squeeze the tongs open, spoon in loose tea and release them, after which the mesh strainer closes. After steeping, you squeeze the tongs open again over the bin and they are empty in no time. Because the strainer is made of fine mesh, you can also use it for finely cut types of tea.

What does the Gimoka Gusto Ricco taste like and how strong is it?

The Gusto Ricco is an Italian blend of arabica and robusta with a full body and a rich, creamy crema. In the flavour you will recognise cocoa and lightly roasted nuts, with a long finish.

We rate the intensity at 13, so very powerful. This is a coffee for lovers of a strong espresso.

What is in the Blanxart Congo Mountains of the moon 82% dark chocolate?

The bar weighs 100 grams. Per 100 grams this chocolate contains 599 kcal (2505 kJ), 51.8 grams of fat of which 32.3 grams saturated, 22.7 grams of carbohydrates of which 18.1 grams sugars, 9.0 grams of protein and 0.01 grams of salt.

Where is this matcha whisk made and what material is it made of?

This matcha tea whisk is made of bamboo. We checked with our supplier: our matcha whisks and bamboo matcha spoons are made in China.

The whisk follows the classic model with 80 fine prongs, as has been used in Japan for centuries to whisk matcha.

Is the Costa Coffee Character Bright Blend suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. These are whole coffee beans with a medium roast, suitable for both a bean to cup machine and a semi-automatic machine. Medium roasted Arabica is less oily than a dark roast, which is kind to the grinder of a bean to cup machine.

This blend is also listed as suitable for filter coffee, cafetiere and percolator, provided you grind the beans to the right grind size.

How much water does the BRITA Aluna White water filter jug hold?

The jug has a total capacity of 2.4 litres, of which 1.4 litres is filtered water. The upper part is the funnel that holds the unfiltered water while it passes through the filter.

The Aluna fits in the fridge door and has a filling flap that lets you fill it one-handed under the tap. The pouring lid keeps dust out.

Are the illy Nicaragua coffee beans suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. The illy Arabica Selection Nicaragua consists of whole coffee beans with a medium roast, and in our product data this coffee is marked as suitable for a bean to cup machine and a semi-automatic machine.

Medium roasted arabica beans work well in a bean to cup machine, because they release less oil than very dark roasted beans. Pour the beans into the bean hopper and set the grind size according to your machine's manual.

Which coffee grind do I need for the Hario V60 set?

For the V60 you use a filter grind, so clearly coarser than an espresso grind. Our customer service gets this question regularly: the filter grind is the grind for devices such as the V60, Melitta and Moccamaster.

If you order ground coffee from us, choose the filter grind option. If you grind it yourself, a particle size like coarse sea salt is a good starting point. If your coffee runs through very quickly and tastes thin, grind a little finer.

Does the Auro Don Papa Rum chocolate contain real alcohol?

Rum is on the ingredient list of this chocolate, so real Don Papa rum has been used in it. It is a single island rum from the island of Negros in the Philippines.

The alcohol percentage of the bar is not in our product data. If you want to know exactly, check the packaging.

How strong is the Gimoka Aroma Classico?

The Aroma Classico is an Italian blend of arabica and robusta with a high proportion of robusta. That gives a firm body, a thick crema and an intense character with notes of cocoa and lightly roasted nuts.

The intensity is 10 with us, so very strong. If you like a mild, smooth cup of coffee, choose a blend with more arabica.
