Gimoka Aroma Classico is an Italian bean blend with a high proportion of Robusta, given the traditional Italian roast. That gives you a full body, a thick layer of crema and a flavour that runs to cocoa and lightly roasted nuts, with a long finish. It holds its own in milk, so it does cappuccino and latte macchiato as well as it does a straight espresso. 1 kg of whole beans.

Details

Gimoka Aroma Classico is a classic Italian espresso blend, built around a high proportion of Robusta and sold as 1 kg of whole beans.

How it tastes

The Robusta is the first thing you notice: a powerful cup with a full body and the thick, lasting crema an Italian bar is judged on. Behind that sit warm notes of cocoa and lightly roasted nuts, and the traditional Italian roast carries them into a long finish. On our scale it comes in at 10 out of 13, so this is a bold coffee rather than a gentle one.

What to make with it

It is built for espresso and lungo, and it is one of those blends that does not vanish the moment milk is added - the cocoa and the body still come through in a cappuccino or a latte macchiato. The beans are whole, so you will want a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine.

FAQ
Customer Questions
How strong is the Gimoka Aroma Classico?

The Aroma Classico is an Italian blend of arabica and robusta with a high proportion of robusta. That gives a firm body, a thick crema and an intense character with notes of cocoa and lightly roasted nuts.

We rate the intensity at 10 out of 13, which means very strong. If you like a mild, smooth cup of coffee, choose a blend with more arabica.

Can you use the Gimoka Aroma Classico in a bean to cup machine or espresso machine?

Yes. You buy whole beans in a 1 kilo bag, so you can use them in any machine with a bean grinder, such as a bean to cup machine or an espresso machine with a grinder.

The roast is medium, so the beans are not dark and oily. That runs nicely through the grinder of a bean to cup machine.

Which coffee drinks is the Gimoka Aroma Classico intended for?

This blend is primarily intended for espresso and lungo. According to our product data it is also suitable for crema, cappuccino and latte.

Thanks to its powerful flavour, the coffee remains clearly recognisable in milk drinks too.

What can you do if the espresso from the Gimoka Aroma Classico tastes too bitter?

Blends with a high robusta content can turn out bitter if the coffee is ground too fine or the extraction runs for too long. In that case choose a slightly coarser grind size or stop the extraction earlier.

For a double espresso we recommend around 16 to 20 grams of coffee. A slightly lower brewing temperature also takes the sharpness out of the cup.
