FAQ Search Results
Where does Passalacqua Cremador come from?
Passalacqua is a Neapolitan coffee roaster and this coffee is produced in Italy. Within that range, Cremador is the blend that is specially tuned to bean to cup machines.
The dark roast and the creamy, chocolatey flavour fit the Neapolitan espresso tradition.
What does the BRITA PURITY C50 Quell ST filter cartridge remove from the water?
This filter cartridge lowers the carbonate hardness of tap water and so helps prevent limescale build-up in the machine behind it. That is the main reason to use it.
It also filters out heavy metals such as lead and copper, turbidity, organic impurities and substances that affect smell and taste such as chlorine.
What is the difference between the Joerges Heritage Espresso, Melange and Schümli?
The Heritage Espresso is the most powerful of the three: dark roasted, rich in robusta, spicy and with notes of nuts and chocolate.
The Heritage Melange is medium roasted, a blend of Arabica and Robusta, mild and nutty with floral and slightly fruity notes.
The Heritage Schümli consists of 100 percent Arabica and is mild, full and smooth with a light acidity and a silky crema, made for the bean to cup machine.
What material are the mesh tea tongs made of and how big is the strainer?
The tea tongs are made of stainless steel, including the mesh strainer. The ball-shaped strainer has a diameter of 50 mm, which fits in a regular tea mug or teacup. You receive one piece per order.
Which beans are in the Café du Jour Summer Coffee and how strong is it?
The Summer Coffee is a blend of arabica and robusta with beans from Brazil, Indonesia and Guatemala. The roast is medium and we rate the intensity at 6 out of 13, which means normal.
In the cup you will pick up chocolatey, spicy and nutty notes. It is a smooth, approachable coffee and not a heavy espresso bomb.
What is the difference between L'OR Elegant Espresso and L'OR Harmonieux Espresso?
L'OR Elegant Espresso is the milder of the two, with intensity 4 out of 13 and fresh notes of lemon zest, marmalade and a light nutty note. L'OR Harmonieux Espresso has intensity 6 out of 13 and leans towards sun-dried apricot with lightly roasted peanut.
Both are smooth espresso blends in a 1 kilo bag of whole beans. Elegant is the successor to the Piazza D'Oro Amabile, Harmonieux to the Piazza D'Oro Dolce.
Which coffee preparations suit L'OR Harmonieux Espresso?
Because of its mild and smooth profile, L'OR Harmonieux Espresso comes into its own especially in lungo and americano. In milk drinks such as cappuccino and latte macchiato the soft body and light fruitiness still come through nicely.
With intensity 6 out of 13 this is a coffee for everyday use, both black and with milk.
Is Lazarro Espresso arabica or robusta and where is the coffee roasted?
Lazarro Espresso is a blend of Arabica and Robusta. The Arabica brings sweetness and complexity, the Robusta provides body and a firm, golden brown crema. The ratio is not stated by the manufacturer.
The coffee is produced in the Netherlands. In our product data this blend is listed at intensity 7 out of 13, so strong, with chocolate as the main flavour note.
How much coffee can I brew with the AeroPress Clear?
The AeroPress Clear has a capacity of 10 oz and is therefore good for 1 to 2 cups at a time. Brewing and cleaning together take about two minutes.
The coffee maker is 5.25 inches high and 4.2 inches wide, so it is compact enough to take with you when travelling or to the office.
Which coffee drinks do you use the Gimoka Gusto Ricco for?
According to our product data this blend is at its best as espresso, crema and lungo.
Because the flavour is strong and full, the coffee also remains clearly recognisable in milk drinks such as cappuccino and latte macchiato.
Is the illy Costa Rica 100 percent arabica and does this coffee contain caffeine?
Yes, this is 100 percent arabica from a single country of origin: Costa Rica. There is no robusta in it, which explains the smooth and round flavour.
This is regular coffee with caffeine; it is not a decaf. If you are looking for caffeine-free coffee, choose a product from our decaf range.
Can I also use the Costa Coffee Character Bright Blend for filter coffee?
Yes. Thanks to its refined acidity and light body, this blend performs well in filter brews such as drip, Chemex and AeroPress. Cafetiere and percolator are possible as well.
Do pay attention to the grind size. For a pour-over filter or a filter coffee machine you use a filter grind, and for a percolator a percolator grind. Those two are not interchangeable.
Is the BRITA Aluna water filter jug dishwasher safe?
The jug itself is dishwasher safe. The lid and the Smart Light indicator must not go in the dishwasher: clean those by hand.
We recommend cleaning the jug regularly, including under the funnel, so that no residue is left behind.
Which grind do I need for the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Original Blend?
You receive whole beans, so you set the grind size yourself on your grinder. For a bean to cup machine you do not grind anything in advance, it does that itself. For an espresso machine or portafilter machine use a fine espresso grind, and for a Moka pot a grind that sits just a little coarser. If you make pour over filter coffee, choose a filter grind, and for a French press a coarse grind. Filter grind and espresso grind are not interchangeable.
What does Kimbo Aroma Organic taste like and which coffees do you make with it?
Kimbo describes the flavour profile as intense and floral, with a light almond note and a hint of exotic spices. Our product data notes the taste as fruity, spicy and nutty. The gentle roast makes these beans suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino, and they also work well as a base for a light caffè crema or a creamy latte.
