Melitta Barista Crema - coffee beans - 1 kilo

Melitta Barista Crema is an aromatic caffè crema bean from the German brand Melitta, with notes of nut nougat, sold here as whole beans in a 1 kg bag. Melitta made its Barista line for bean-to-cup machines, with bean and roast matched to the way the coffee is brewed.

Taste, roast and strength

Melitta Barista Crema tastes aromatic, with notes of nut nougat. Melitta slowly drum roasts the beans, a blend of arabica and robusta, to roast level 3 out of 5 on its own scale. Melitta rates the strength 3 out of 5, which is 6 out of 13 on the Café du Jour scale.

Drinks and machines

Melitta Barista Crema is made for the bean-to-cup machine, and Melitta recommends it for caffè crema, milky coffee and café au lait. Ground at a medium setting, the beans also suit a French press, a portafilter machine, a hand filter and a moka pot. More beans for your machine are in our coffee beans for bean-to-cup machines.

Barista Crema or Barista Crema Forte?

Melitta Barista Crema is the milder choice. Melitta Barista Crema Forte has the same roast level but is full-bodied, with notes of dark chocolate, and Melitta recommends it for caffè crema, caffè latte and americano.

Packaging and producer

The beans are packed under a protective atmosphere. Melitta produces the coffee in Bremen, Germany, with coffee from non-EU countries; the brand goes back to Melitta Bentz, who invented the coffee filter in 1908. The full range is on our Melitta page.
