Dallmayr Crema d'Oro mild & fine - coffee beans - 1 kg

Yes. Dallmayr Crema d'Oro mild and fine consists of whole, medium-roasted arabica beans. They are not oily, which keeps the grinder and the ground coffee chute of your bean-to-cup machine clean. Dark-roasted, oily beans tend to cause more problems there.

The coffee is intended for caffè crema, café crème or Schümli, exactly the cups a bean-to-cup machine makes. It is also suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino.

No. According to Dallmayr, the Crema d'Oro blend combines Arabica and Canephora (Robusta). So it does contain robusta.

You notice this in the cup: the robusta adds a bit more body and a velvety fine crema, while the arabica gives a mild, fruity aroma. If you want 100% arabica, this is not the right choice.

These are whole coffee beans, not ground coffee. One pack contains 1 kilo of beans.

So you need a machine with its own grinder, for example a bean-to-cup machine, or a separate coffee grinder. Mixing up beans and ground coffee is the most common mistake when ordering coffee, so check what your appliance needs.

The taste is balanced and mild, with a fruity note and a velvety fine, clear crema. The intensity is 6 out of 13, which we classify as regular, and the roast is medium. Dallmayr roasts this coffee in Germany.

It is at its best as caffè crema, café crème or Schümli. If your cup turns out too sour, use a finer grind size, use a slightly higher dose or brew with a hotter water temperature.

Store the beans in a cool, dark place and keep them well sealed. Do not keep them in the fridge: coffee absorbs moisture and odours there.

Unopened, the beans keep until the best before date on the pack. Once the pack is open, the coffee loses aroma through contact with oxygen. So close the bag properly and only grind the amount you need each time.
