Yes. According to the product details this blend is meant precisely for bean to cup coffee machines, and also for espresso machines and coffee specialities.

A customer with a bean to cup machine asked us which coffee he could take without his grinder getting dirty from oily beans. Our answer was that in this price range many beans are somewhat darker and therefore oilier, but that the Lazarro crema is not bad in that respect. These beans are medium roasted and mild in intensity.

This oil is made from 100 percent Nocellara del Belice olives from Mazara del Vallo in Sicily. The olives are harvested by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October and cold pressed within a few hours of the harvest. That keeps the oil rich in polyphenols and preserves its fresh, slightly spicy character.

Allow about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup and use water at around 80 degrees. Let the tea steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

We advise against using boiling water, because it makes green tea bitter. Since this is loose leaf tea, you will need a tea strainer or a filter bag.

This chai consists of black tea from Sri Lanka, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, cardamom and cloves. The spices are dosed so that no single element takes over: cinnamon and cardamom are at the front, ginger and black pepper add a light kick and cloves give depth. All ingredients come from organic cultivation. If you have an allergy, always read the packaging you receive.

The ingredients are cocoa beans from the La Dalia region in Nicaragua, cane sugar from Paraguay and sunflower lecithin (a maximum of 0.2 percent). There is nothing more in it: it is a dark bar with 72 percent cocoa. The bar weighs 80 grams.

You can, but do keep the following in mind. The three blends in this pack are dark roasted, and a dark roast gives an oilier, shinier bean surface. In a bean to cup machine that oil can build up over the long term in the grinder and the brewing unit.

Customers with a Jura or a comparable bean to cup machine ask us this question regularly, including specifically about the Kimbo dark roasts. Our advice: with regular maintenance of your machine this does not have to be a problem, and a single bag causes no harm under normal circumstances. If you would rather avoid oily beans altogether, the Kimbo trial pack Mild en Aromatisch with 100% Arabica is the better choice.

Yes. This pack is made up of mild, low-bitterness roasted Arabica blends, and those are clearly less oily than dark roasted espresso beans. That is exactly why we recommend this profile to customers with a Jura or a comparable bean to cup machine.

A customer asked us earlier whether the Kimbo Espresso Bar Top Flavour 100% Arabica from this pack would be too oily, because the beans look shiny. Our answer at the time: these beans are not extremely oily like some dark roasts, so with normal maintenance of your machine you can use them without any problem.

These are the original, standard round Senseo coffee pods, so they fit the pod holders of Senseo coffee makers. For one cup you put one pod in the 1-cup holder, for two cups you use two pods in the 2-cup holder. Always lay the pod flat in the holder and press the rim down neatly, otherwise the water will run past it. If you are unsure about your model, check the manual of your machine.

Yes. Finest Jasmine is made from Chinese green tea and green tea naturally contains caffeine. The jasmine blossom only provides the scent and the flavour. If you are looking for a caffeine free floral tea, take a look at our rooibos and herbal infusions.

The Winterkoffie is a warm, full blend with beans from Central and South America and from Indonesia.

It is a medium roast that drinks smoothly and has just enough bite for the morning. The blend is deliberately versatile, so whether you make espresso or filter coffee, it feels at home in both preparations.

No, that is almost never mould. What you see is crystallised caffeine and coffee oil moving to the outside of the bean. It looks like a white bloom, but it is harmless.

We see this more often with beans that have a higher robusta content, and within this selection in particular with the Segafredo Intermezzo and the De Roccis Qualità Oro Intenso. The taste of the coffee does not change because of it. If you are still unsure, feel free to send us a photo.

This duo consists of two bags: Cantuccini of 175 grams and Amarettini of 200 grams, together 375 grams of biscuits. The Cantuccini are Tuscan almond biscuits, the Amarettini small Italian bitter almond biscuits. Both biscuits are also available separately from us; in this duo you buy them as a fixed combination to go with your coffee.

The Brita Marella XL has a total capacity of 3.5 litres, of which 2 litres is filtered water. The upper reservoir holds the water that has not been filtered yet, which slowly passes down through the filter cartridge. Thanks to that generous capacity you need to refill less often than with a standard water filter jug.

Yes. According to the product data these beans work in every espresso machine and bean to cup coffee machine, without you needing any special settings.

A customer asked us which Lazarro he could take for his bean to cup machine, because he was worried about oily beans that clog up the grinder. We pointed out that beans in this price range are often a bit darker and therefore oilier. The Lazarro Espresso is medium roasted and so not an extremely dark roast.

Yes. According to the product details, Präsident is suitable for both bean to cup machines and semi-automatic machines. The coffee is medium roasted, so the beans are not as oily and shiny as very dark roasted espresso beans.

That is exactly what customers with a Jura or a comparable machine often ask us. Beans that are too oily can build up over time in the grinder and the brew group, but with a medium roast like this one that plays a far smaller role.
