Caffè Vergnano Aroma Mio Delicato

Aroma Mio Delicato is a mild Italian bean for people who would rather their coffee did not shout. Delicato is Italian for delicate, and Caffè Vergnano 1882 has roasted it to match: smooth, rounded and, at 3 out of 13 on our strength scale, at the gentle end of what we sell.

In the cup

Soft and refined rather than heavy. There is no sharp, smoky edge to it, so a straight espresso stays pleasant instead of biting, and the flavour is still there once milk goes in. It is the sort of coffee that works at breakfast and again in the afternoon.

Which machine

These are whole beans, so you will need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine. Ground fine it makes a proper Italian espresso, and the same beans hold their own in a cappuccino or a latte, where a milder roast keeps the cup from turning flat and bitter behind the milk.
