Swisso Kaffee: 1 kg coffee beans and instant cappuccino
Swisso Kaffee is a German coffee brand, and here you'll find its 100% Arabica coffee beans in 1 kg bags together with its instant cappuccino and instant hot chocolate. Choose the beans if you have a bean-to-cup machine, an espresso machine or a moka pot: Swisso Crema is medium roasted and mild, while Swisso Espresso is dark roasted and stronger. Choose the powder if all you want is a kettle and a spoon. The instant cappuccino comes as White, Caramel, Hazelnut and Vanilla; the Drinking Chocolate has no coffee in it. Further down the page you'll find how Crema and Espresso compare and how to make the instant drinks.
Which Swisso is right for you?
Swisso Crema and Swisso Espresso differ in roast and strength; the instant cappuccinos share one base and differ in flavour.
Swisso Crema: mild crema coffee beans
Swisso Crema is a 100% Arabica blend from several African countries, medium roasted in Germany. On our strength scale it is 6 out of 13, and Swisso gives it an intensity of 3 out of 5. The flavour is mild and balanced, the aroma gentle, and the crema velvety. Swisso suggests Crema for coffee with milk, such as a latte, though it is equally good black as a longer caffè crema.
Swisso Espresso: dark-roasted espresso beans
Swisso Espresso is a 100% Arabica blend from several African countries too, but dark roasted: 10 out of 13 on our strength scale and 4 out of 5 on Swisso's own. It has a strong flavour and a pronounced aroma. Swisso intends these espresso beans for a strong, dark espresso, and they work with milk in a cappuccino or latte too.
Swisso instant cappuccino and Drinking Chocolate
Swisso instant cappuccino is a mix of instant coffee, creamer and sugar that becomes a frothy cappuccino once you add hot water. Cappuccino White is the unflavoured one: mild, milky and slightly sweet. Caramel, Hazelnut and Vanilla are the flavoured versions. Swisso Drinking Chocolate is a sweet instant hot chocolate with no coffee. A 1 kg bag of any of them makes around 80 cups.
How to make Swisso instant cappuccino
Swisso instant cappuccino takes about 7 teaspoons of powder in a cup, topped up with 150 to 200 ml of water at around 80 °C, then a good stir. The water should be hot rather than boiling, so let the kettle cool for a few minutes after it boils. No milk or coffee machine is needed. Swisso Drinking Chocolate is made the same way, or with warm milk in place of the water.
Grinding and brewing Swisso coffee beans
Swisso Crema and Swisso Espresso come as whole beans, so grind them fresh for each brew. Swisso recommends a bean-to-cup machine or a moka pot, and both blends also work in an espresso machine with a separate grinder.
