Caffè Hausbrandt Trieste - coffee beans - 1 kg

Yes. These are whole coffee beans with a medium roast, and they work well in a bean to cup machine. Customers who ask us for advice about a De'Longhi bean to cup machine, for example, are regularly pointed towards the Hausbrandt blends.

Medium roasted beans are less oily than dark roasted beans, so they run smoothly through the grinder and the brew group. Fill the bean hopper with whole beans and let the machine do the rest.

The Trieste is a blend of arabica and robusta. The beans come from Brazil, Colombia and India.

The coffee is roasted in Trieste in Italy, where Hausbrandt has been based since 1892. The robusta in the blend provides extra body and a firm crema.

The Trieste has intensity 8 on our scale, so it is powerful. The roast is medium.

It is a full, sweet coffee with a predominantly roasted aroma and notes of baked desserts. In the finish you taste hints of bitter cocoa and liquorice. In our taste characteristics the coffee is listed as chocolatey and nutty.

These beans are suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino. You get whole beans, so for an espresso machine or a pour over filter you grind them yourself to the right grind size: fine for espresso, filter grind for a pour over filter.

We advise around 16 to 20 grams for a double espresso and around 5 to 8 grams per cup of filter coffee. If you find the result too bitter, grind a little coarser. If it is too sour, grind finer or dose slightly higher.

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed, and not in the fridge. Moisture and smells from the fridge affect the aroma.

Unopened, coffee stays good for about a year, but it tastes best within three months. This pack contains 1 kilo, so fill your bean hopper with what you will use up in a few days and keep the bag firmly closed for the rest.
