Julius Meinl Espresso Classico Italian Line - coffee beans - 1 kg


- 1 piece24.35
Espresso Classico is the Italian Line espresso from Julius Meinl, the Austrian roaster working in the Italian bar tradition. It pours with a velvety crema over a full, rounded body, and the flavour runs warm: dried fruit first, hazelnut on the finish. Balanced rather than sharp, it is at home as a short black and still comes through clearly in a cappuccino or a latte. Whole beans, 1 kg.

These Julius Meinl coffee beans are the everyday espresso in the brand's Italian Line: an Italian-style blend from an Austrian roaster, sold as whole beans in a 1 kg bag.
The blend is put together for balance rather than bite. The shot pours with a velvety crema and a full, rounded body, and the flavour runs warm - dried fruit up front, hazelnut on the finish. On our scale it sits at 8 out of 13, so it is in the stronger half without tipping into the scorched, bitter end of the espresso range.
Brewing and milk
Grind fine and treat it as you would any espresso blend, in a bean-to-cup machine or behind a portafilter. The body is substantial enough to stay recognisable under steamed milk, which is why it reads as clearly in a cappuccino or a latte as it does on its own. Drunk black, give the crema a moment to settle before the first sip.
