The Trieste has intensity 8 on our scale, so it is powerful. The roast is medium.

It is a full, sweet coffee with a predominantly roasted aroma and notes of baked desserts. In the finish you taste hints of bitter cocoa and liquorice. In our taste characteristics the coffee is listed as chocolatey and nutty.

Krak Chocolade is the company of bean to bar chocolate maker Mark Schimmel. Where most chocolatiers and pastry chefs work with melted factory chocolate, he controls the whole process himself.

He selects the cocoa beans by harvest year and by origin, and does the roasting and refining in house. That gives every bar, like this Vietnam Anh Em B10 from 2021, a flavour of its own that you will not find in mass production.

The air freshener is shaped like a cup of coffee and is printed with the logo of Café du Jour. It is a flat hanger with a cord, meant for the car mirror. A nice little gift for coffee lovers.

This is a dark chocolate in an 80 gram bar.

The exact cocoa percentage is stated on the packaging of the bar. If you want to know it beforehand, just get in touch with us and we will check it for you.

You use one pod per espresso. If you want a larger cup, let the machine run a little longer for a lungo.

For a double espresso or a strong cappuccino you brew two pods one after the other. This pack contains 18 pods.

Krak Chocolade is the company of chocolate maker Mark Schimmel. Where most chocolatiers and pastry chefs work with melted factory chocolate, Mark does the whole process himself.

Store the packaging cool, dry, dark and tightly closed, preferably at around 15 to 18 degrees. Do not put chocolate in the fridge: the moisture and the temperature difference make chocolate bloom and give a greyish white haze on the outside.

If the chocolate layer goes soft in warm weather, let the pieces set slowly in a cool spot in the house.

Mancuso is a typically Italian roast, made by a German coffee roaster. The result is a balanced, strong coffee with the taste of southern Italy and a chocolatey note.

The intensity is 8, classed by us as strong, and the roast is medium. It is a blend of arabica and robusta beans; the robusta provides body and a firm crema. The coffee is suitable for espresso, cappuccino and filter coffee.

After roasting there is a lot of heat in the beans. If you do not cool them down to room temperature quickly, the roasting process simply carries on through the radiant heat between the beans and they become darker than intended.

This cooler blows the heat out quickly with a motor running at 3000 revolutions per minute, so you keep the roast profile you had in mind.

Senseo Extra Strong is an extra strong coffee pod made from dark roasted arabica and robusta beans. That gives an intense and punchy flavour with a lovely crema layer.

The robusta in the blend provides body and a spicy note, but it also brings more bitterness than a pod with only arabica. If you like a full, strong cup, this is a good choice. If you are looking for something milder, a more lightly roasted Senseo version is a better option.

With a tea stick the tea sits in a sealed aluminium stirrer instead of in a bag with a string and tag. You stir with it directly, so no string sinks into your cup and you do not have to use a separate spoon.

Because you let the excess water drain into the stick before you throw it away, you also get no tea rings or drips on your desk or table.

Brew the tea a little stronger than usual, for example with a generous teaspoon per cup, and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes in boiling water.

Then strain the tea and mix it with warm milk or a plant based alternative. Sweeten to taste with honey or sugar.

Store the packaging cool, dry, dark and well sealed, ideally at around 15 to 18 degrees. Do not put chocolate in the fridge: the moisture and the temperature difference make the chocolate bloom, leaving a greyish white haze on the outside.

Close the bag well after opening. That way the almonds stay crunchy and the chocolate does not pick up smells from your cupboard.

The bar weighs 80 grams. Krak Chocolade is the company of bean to bar chocolate maker Mark Schimmel, who makes the bars in the Netherlands.

Bean to bar means that he handles the whole process himself: selecting the cacao beans by harvest year and by origin, roasting and refining. Most chocolatiers work with ready made melted factory chocolate, and you can taste the difference.

No. This pack contains everything you need for an espresso except the coffee machine itself. So you provide the espresso machine or bean to cup machine yourself.

The cup and saucer, the coffee beans and the biscuits are included, so you do not need to buy anything else.
