Caffè Mauro Maestoso box discount

Caffè Mauro Maestoso is a dark-roasted espresso blend of Arabica and Robusta, roasted and produced in Italy and sold as whole beans in a 1 kg bag. It is one for people who want the coffee to taste unmistakably of roast.

Flavour and strength

Expect spice, cocoa, wood and tobacco: a dry, savoury kind of dark roast rather than a sweet one. On the Café du Jour scale it sits at 13 out of 13, and Caffè Mauro rates it 10 out of 10 on its own intensity scale — the top of both. The Robusta share is what gives it that body and the thick crema on an espresso.

What to make with it

Use it in a portafilter machine for espresso, or in a bean-to-cup machine, which will give you the lungo and crema settings as well. It is strong enough that a cappuccino or a latte made with it still tastes of coffee rather than of warm milk.
