But we are convinced we have an alternative that has the same or better quality.

Espresso Madrugador - Fresh coffee beans

Espresso Madrugador is Café du Jour's own blend of Arabica and Robusta from Guatemala, Colombia and Indonesia. The medium roast keeps it bold rather than dark and scorched: a spicy, lightly fruity espresso with chocolate and nuts behind it. There is body enough for cappuccino and definition enough for filter coffee. Whole beans, roasted and produced in the Netherlands.

Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium is a 1 kg blend from Naples, built for the short, dark espresso of the Neapolitan bar. The Arabica rounds the cup off and carries the aroma, the Robusta supplies the body and the dense crema, and the dark roast brings out dark chocolate, dried fruit and a nutty edge before a slightly bitter finish. Whole beans in a valve bag, for an espresso machine with a grinder.

Neapolitan espresso in a 1 kg bag

Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium is the blend Kimbo roasts for the espresso its home city, Naples, is built around: short, dark and thick. Arabica carries the aroma and keeps the cup round, while Robusta supplies the body and the firm crema that sits on top of the shot. The roast is dark, which is where the dark chocolate, dried fruit and nutty notes come from, and the finish stays a little bitter — that is the style, not a fault. On the Café du Jour scale it sits at 10 out of 13.

Machine and use

These are whole beans for an espresso machine with a grinder — a domestic machine, a semi-professional one, or a bean-to-cup that grinds for itself. A blend this dark is at its best as a short black shot, but it has the body to come through steamed milk, so a cappuccino made with it still tastes of coffee rather than of milk. If you are moving up from supermarket espresso, expect a heavier and more bitter cup than you are used to: that is Naples, and it is what this blend is for.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Are the Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium beans a dark roast or a medium roast?

The Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium is a dark roast. Our website sometimes shows a different label, because roast classifications vary between suppliers and markets, but the packaging is right: these are dark roasted espresso beans.

That fits the character of this Neapolitan coffee: powerful and intense, with a full body and a spicy taste. The blend is 70% arabica and 30% robusta and was put together for Italian coffee bars, where it is mostly served as espresso and ristretto. In a moka pot or a lever machine, that dark roast really comes into its own.

What is the flavour of the Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium? Is the coffee sharp, spicy or rather mild?
This coffee is powerful and intense, with a full body and spicy flavour notes. Some customers experience a pronounced Italian style with a slightly bitter or ‘burnt’ undertone, typical of dark-roasted espresso. The beans are especially suited for lovers of strong, characterful espressos.
Which brewing methods do you recommend for the Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium beans?
We especially recommend a piston machine (espresso machine) or a Moka pot, as is customary in Italy. These methods bring out the dark roast and full flavours best. Of course, the beans can also be brewed using other methods, but for the true Neapolitan espresso experience, the above-mentioned devices are ideal.
How do these beans compare to other Kimbo varieties such as Bar Extreme? Is the flavour similar?
The Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium is known for its powerful and spicy flavour, with a blend of 70% arabica and 30% robusta. Some customers find the Bar Extreme even more pronounced in terms of taste. If you are looking for a strong, dark Italian profile, this is a perfect choice, but if you are after an even more intense coffee, you can try the Bar Extreme.
