Gorilla Espresso Delicato box discount

Gorilla Espresso Delicato is a whole-bean espresso blend of arabica and robusta with a dark roast, made by Joerges for lovers of a classic Italian-style espresso. It is medium strong rather than intense, and the white 1 kg bag says exactly that: ‘medium strong’ and ‘dark roast’.

Which beans are in Gorilla Espresso Delicato?

Gorilla Espresso Delicato combines arabica from the South American highlands with robusta of Asian origin. Each bean type is roasted on its own, with the roast matched to that variety, and the roasts are blended only afterwards.

How does Gorilla Espresso Delicato taste?

Gorilla Espresso Delicato tastes chocolatey and full-bodied, with soft almond notes and a finely spiced edge; Gorilla’s flavour profile adds floral and honey notes. The crema is compact and nut-brown, and the acidity is low. It rates 7 out of 13 on our scale and Gorilla intensity 7 out of 10, so it has body without the punch of the strongest blends.

Brewing Gorilla Espresso Delicato

Gorilla Espresso Delicato suits a semi-automatic espresso machine, a bean-to-cup machine and a moka pot (stovetop percolator). Joerges suggests it for a cappuccino in the morning, an espresso in between and an ordinary cup of coffee. If you prefer a dark roast with a softer finish, this is the Gorilla that fits.
