Caffè Hausbrandt Academia box discount

Caffè Hausbrandt Academia is a rich blend that manages to be intense and well balanced at the same time. At 7 out of 13 on our strength scale it sits right in the middle: plenty of flavour, without being one of the strongest coffees around.

How it tastes

The first thing you notice is a lovely fruity aroma. In the cup, the medium body keeps things rounded and the light acidity keeps it lively. The finish is where the cocoa comes through, with gentle hints that stay with you after each sip.

A medium body means the coffee feels neither thin nor heavy in the mouth, and a light acidity gives it a gentle brightness rather than a sharp edge. Together with the fruity aroma and cocoa finish, that makes a blend with enough going on to stay interesting, while still being easy to drink cup after cup.
