FAQ Search Results

Does this coffee produce a nice crema layer?
Yes, many customers mention that this coffee produces a beautiful, thick crema, especially when you brew it as an espresso. This contributes to a full flavour and a pleasant mouthfeel, exactly as you would expect from an Italian espresso.
Is this coffee suitable for espresso and which brewing methods do you recommend?
Segafredo Selezione Organica is particularly suitable for espresso, but can also be perfectly used in fully automatic machines or as a base for cappuccino and other milk drinks. Most customers are very satisfied with its use for espresso (for example, a brewing ratio of 1:2, such as 16 grams in for 32 ml out). Due to its strong flavour and beautiful crema, this coffee is extremely suitable for lovers of Italian espresso. Of course, you can also try it with other brewing methods according to your own preference.
Which coffee flavours are included in the Bestsellers 4 x 1 kilo package, and how do they differ in taste?
This package contains four varieties: Café du Jour Ethiopia, Brazil Santos, Espresso Madrugador, and South America. Each of these beans has its own character: Ethiopia is known for its lively, lightly fruity flavour; Brazil Santos is softer and rounder; Madrugador is our powerful, full-bodied espresso blend; South America offers an accessible, balanced cup of coffee. The tasting package is ideal for discovering which flavour suits you best.
Are the beans light or dark roasted and how do customers experience this?
These coffee beans are dark roasted, which results in an intense aroma and full flavour. Some customers describe the roast as strong to dark, with distinct chocolate notes. This can make the coffee taste a bit more robust and less fruity. Most coffee lovers really enjoy this, but if you are looking for a lighter, more fruity roast, this might be less suitable.
Some beans in the package sometimes taste ‘sour’ or ‘bitter’. How should I best set up my coffee machine for this fresh coffee?
Because our beans are very fresh, flavour nuances such as acidity or bitterness can be more pronounced than with older supermarket beans. Adjust the grind size (often grinding a little finer), possibly increase the dosage, and also try to adjust the temperature and extraction time of your coffee machine. Experimenting a little helps to get the best out of fresh coffee beans, as many coffee enthusiasts suggest in the reviews.
How do the beans stay fresh after opening and how can you best store them?
All bags in the package are equipped with a special resealable strip and a valve. By closing the bag properly after use, you protect the coffee from air and moisture. We recommend storing the beans in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This way, the freshness and aroma of the coffee are optimally preserved.
Are these coffee beans suitable for all coffee machines, such as fully automatic, semi-automatic (piston), filter or percolator?
Yes, our coffee beans are suitable for all common brewing methods, including fully automatic machines, semi-automatic machines (piston machines), filter coffee and percolators. However, we do recommend adjusting your grind or grind size to your equipment, as extra fresh coffee sometimes requires a finer grind for optimal extraction and flavour.
Can these beans be used for both espresso and regular coffee such as Americano?
Yes, these coffee beans are suitable for various coffee preparations, including espresso and Americano. Customers indicate that the coffee does not become too bitter when used for espresso and has a pleasant, mild aftertaste for a regular cup of coffee. As a result, the beans are versatile in use, both at home and in fully automatic coffee machines.
Are these coffee beans better suited for specific coffee enthusiasts or do they have a broadly accessible flavour?
The Julius Meinl Caffè Crema Premium Collection is highly appreciated by various types of coffee drinkers. The coffee is powerful in intensity (10), yet at the same time not too strong or bitter, with a smooth finish. This makes it popular with both lovers of mild coffees and those who prefer a stronger coffee.
What are the main flavour characteristics of Julius Meinl Caffè Crema Premium Collection coffee beans?
These coffee beans produce a silky-smooth cup of coffee with pronounced notes of caramel and nuts, and a light, balanced finish. The flavour is often described as strong, but not too bitter, with a beautiful crema layer. This makes it an accessible choice for lovers of both mild and characterful coffees.
Are these coffee beans suitable for cappuccino and other milk-based drinks?
Yes, Julius Meinl Caffè Crema Premium Collection is particularly well suited for cappuccino and other milk-based coffees. The beans provide a balanced flavour that comes into its own beautifully when combined with milk, without the coffee becoming too overpowering.
Are the coffee beans oily or dry, and what effect does that have on coffee machines?
The beans are dry and not oily, as several reviews indicate. This benefits your coffee machine: dry beans put less strain on the grinder and are less likely to cause build-up or oily residues, which can happen with some types of coffee beans.
What are the main flavour characteristics of Caffè Hausbrandt Espresso (Nonnetti)?
This espresso blend has a lightly sweet and nutty flavour, with notes of toasted bread and biscuits. The acidity is virtually absent, which keeps the coffee soft and rounded in taste. Many customers indicate that the coffee feels authentically Italian and reminds them of Italy with every sip.
Why does the packaging of the Kimbo Espresso Bar Extra Cream look different from the product photo?
Kimbo has recently updated the packaging design. The contents and the product (including the EAN code) have remained exactly the same. You will therefore still receive the original Kimbo Espresso Bar Extra Cream coffee beans as described. We update our product photos as soon as a change has been made.
How strong is this coffee? Can I also brew it less strong?
This coffee has an intensity of 8 (strong), thanks to the combination of 75% arabica and 25% robusta. Would you like to drink it milder? You can set your coffee machine to a lighter setting or mix it with a milder type of coffee beans. This way, you can tailor the flavour entirely to your preference.
