Espresso machines

Velvet is at home in a bean-to-cup machine, which grinds the beans for you, and in a traditional espresso machine with a portafilter. At 7 out of 13 on our strength scale it sits in the middle: smooth rather than punchy.

With a portafilter machine, grind fine and grind fresh for each shot. In a bean-to-cup machine, simply fill the hopper and let the machine do the rest. Either way, the medium roast keeps the cup soft and rounded, so it is a coffee you can happily drink more than once a day.

Moka pot and filter

You are not limited to espresso. Grind the beans to match your brewing method and the flavour nuances come through in a moka pot or a filter coffee as well. Because the beans come whole, you only grind what you need for each brew.

As a rule of thumb, a moka pot wants a grind slightly coarser than espresso, and a filter coffee maker a medium grind. Too fine in a filter and the coffee drips through slowly and can taste harsh; too coarse and it turns out thin.

FAQ

Customer Questions

How dark is the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Velvet roasted?

The Caffe Crema Velvet is a medium roast. That means the beans are roasted less far than with a dark roast, which makes the coffee more subtle and softer and creates less roasted bitterness. This medium roast matches the character Costa Coffee describes for the Velvet: silky smooth with an intense aroma and a hint of dark chocolate.

In which coffee machines can I use the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Velvet?

Costa Coffee states that the Caffe Crema Velvet can be prepared in automatic espresso machines and portafilter machines. In a Moka pot or as filter coffee the flavour nuances also come through well, provided you grind the beans to the right grind size. You receive whole beans in a 1 kilo pack, so in a bean to cup machine they go straight into the bean hopper.

Which beans are in the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Velvet?

The Velvet is a blend of Robusta beans from Asia and Arabica beans from Latin America. The Arabica provides the aromatic, smooth side, while the Robusta gives body and crema. Costa Coffee describes the result as a blend with an intense aroma and a hint of dark chocolate. You buy this coffee as whole beans in a 1 kilo pack.

What does the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Velvet taste like?

Costa Coffee describes the Velvet as subtle and silky smooth, with an irresistible aroma and a hint of dark chocolate. Because of the medium roast, this coffee is less bold and less roasty than the dark roasted versions in the Caffe Crema range. If you want a smooth, rounded cup of coffee or a cappuccino without sharp bitterness, this is a logical choice.

How do I store the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Velvet coffee beans?

Store the beans cool, dark and tightly closed, in the original bag with the seal shut or in an airtight storage tin. Do not put them in the fridge, because coffee absorbs moisture and odours there. An unopened pack keeps for about a year, but the aroma is at its finest in the first months after opening. With a 1 kilo pack you can set part of it aside and leave the rest sealed.
