Melitta coffee beans

Melitta coffee beans come from a German brand known for its filter papers and its bean-to-cup machines. Here you'll find two of its whole beans in 1 kg bags: Barista Classic Crema and Barista Classic Crema Forte. Both are meant for bean-to-cup machines, so they suit a Melitta coffee machine as well as machines from other brands.

Crema or Crema Forte?

The two beans share a name and a purpose but differ in strength. Barista Classic Crema is the rounder, milder of the two: an everyday cup that works black or with milk. Crema Forte is, as the name says, the stronger version, with more body. If you mostly drink cappuccino or flat white, Crema Forte holds its own better against the milk; if you drink your coffee black and long, Crema is the easier choice.

Beans for your Melitta coffee machine

A bean-to-cup machine grinds the beans just before brewing. If you switch between Crema and Crema Forte, give the machine two or three cups before you judge the new bean, because the grinder still holds some of the previous one. Does Crema Forte taste too strong as a long black coffee? Keep it for espresso and milk drinks, and use Crema for the mug.

  • Black coffee or a long cup: Barista Classic Crema
  • Espresso, cappuccino or flat white: Barista Classic Crema Forte
  • Both: whole beans in a 1 kg bag, for bean-to-cup machines from Melitta and other brands
