Segafredo coffee beans

Why choose Segafredo coffee?

Segafredo makes Italian-style espresso blends, most of them from arabica and robusta beans. That combination gives a full, rounded cup with a firm crema. Depending on the blend you taste chocolate, caramel and a hint of spice. It is coffee made for a strong espresso or a creamy cappuccino, and good value for coffee you drink every day.

The story of Segafredo Zanetti

Segafredo Zanetti was founded by Massimo Zanetti with a simple aim: to make Italian espresso available well beyond Italy. From a local roastery it grew into a coffee brand sold in dozens of countries, and the Italian espresso bar is still the reference point for its blends. The coffee beans come from countries such as Brazil and Costa Rica and are roasted and blended by the company itself, which is why each blend tastes the same from one bag to the next.

How to choose

Start with how you drink your coffee. For a short, strong espresso, the blends with espresso in the name are the obvious place to begin. If you prefer a longer cup with a layer of crema, from a bean-to-cup machine for example, look at the Caffè Crema blends, with Crema Dolce as the softer option. Intermezzo sits in between and is a sensible first choice if you drink both espresso and milky coffees. For more body and a thicker crema under milk, pick a blend with robusta; if you prefer a smoother, rounder cup, go for Selezione Arabica.

Segafredo and sustainability

Segafredo is committed to fair trade. The brand works with coffee farmers who use sustainable farming methods and pays them fair prices for their harvest. Several blends carry recognised certifications such as Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance.

Try several blends at once

Not sure which Segafredo coffee suits you best? The Segafredo preview package puts several blends side by side, so you can compare them at home before you settle on a favourite. It is also a practical way to find out whether you prefer the espresso or the crema side of the range.
