Mancuso Caffe Qualita Crema - coffee beans - 1 kilo

Yes. Mancuso Caffe Qualita Crema is meant for a portafilter machine or a bean to cup machine. These are whole beans, so your machine grinds them itself.

The roast is medium. That is good for a bean to cup machine, because dark roasted beans are oilier and can eventually clog the grinder and the coffee chute. These beans are not.

With an intensity of 8, classed by us as strong, it is a powerful coffee though. If you find the cup too bitter, set your grinder a little coarser or let the coffee run through for a shorter time.

These are whole coffee beans, not ground coffee. One pack contains 1 kilo of beans.

So you need a machine with its own grinder, for example a bean to cup machine, or a separate coffee grinder. Beans versus ground is the most common mistake when ordering coffee, so do check what your machine needs.

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.

Despite the Italian name, Mancuso Caffe Qualita Crema is roasted in Germany, by Kaffee Joerges. That is the same roaster that also makes the Gorilla brand.

What is Italian is mainly the roasting style: it aims for the taste of southern Italy. A consistently high quality bean selection, classic and modern roasting processes and fixed quality checks make sure that every pack tastes the same.

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed. Not in the fridge: coffee picks up moisture and smells there.

Unopened, the beans stay good until the best before date on the pack. Once the pack is open, the coffee loses aroma through contact with oxygen. So seal the bag properly and only grind the amount you need at that moment.
