L'OR Riche Espresso is the successor to Piazza D'Oro Forza: a full, intense blend of 100% Arabica beans in a 1 kg bag. Bitter chocolate leads, balanced by caramel-like sweetness and a subtle touch of macadamia. It is at its best as a ristretto or espresso, and has enough body to hold its own with milk in a cappuccino or latte macchiato.

Details

If you used to buy Piazza D'Oro Forza, L'OR Riche Espresso is the coffee that took its place. It comes as whole beans in a 1 kg bag, made from 100% Arabica, and it is meant for people who like their coffee strong and rich: the strength is 8 out of 13.

Flavour profile

Deep, bitter chocolate comes first. Sweet, caramel-like accents balance it, and a subtle macadamia note completes the picture. The result is full and intense, yet it stays harmonious.

How to drink it

Ristretto and espresso are where this blend excels. Its full body also carries through milk, which makes it a good base for a cappuccino or a latte macchiato when you want the coffee to stay noticeable.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Are the L'OR Riche Espresso coffee beans suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. This is a 1 kilo bag of whole coffee beans that you can pour straight into the bean hopper of your bean to cup machine, or use in an espresso machine with a separate grinder.

Riche Espresso is dark roasted and dark roasted beans release a little more coffee oil than a light roast. That is not a problem for a bean to cup machine, but we do recommend cleaning the bean hopper and the grinder regularly.

Fill the hopper with the amount you use up in about a week and keep the rest of the bag tightly closed.

Which grind size do I choose if I grind the L'OR Riche Espresso beans myself?

That depends on your machine. For an espresso machine you grind fine (espresso grind), for a pour over filter such as a V60, Melitta or Moccamaster you use filter grind, and for the ground coffee chute of a Jura, percolator grind is the right one.

Filter grind and percolator grind are not interchangeable. Percolator grind is coarser and gives a weak cup in a filter machine, while filter grind is too fine for a percolator and clogs up.

If you have a bean to cup machine, you do not need to choose anything: it grinds the beans itself.

How do I store the L'OR Riche Espresso coffee beans and how long do they keep?

Unopened, coffee keeps for about a year. The exact date is on the packaging, but coffee tastes best within about three months.

Store the bag cool, dark and tightly closed, for example in a kitchen cupboard and not next to the cooker or in the sun. Do not put the beans in the fridge, because there they take on moisture and odours.

With a 1 kilo bag you can pour part of it into an airtight storage tin and leave the rest closed until you need it.

How much robusta is in the L'OR Riche Espresso coffee beans?

None. L'OR Riche Espresso consists of one hundred percent arabica.

Robusta is often added to espresso blends for extra body, a firmer crema and a spicy, bitter note. With these beans the strength therefore does not come from robusta but from the dark roast, with an intensity of 8 and notes of dark chocolate, caramel and macadamia.

If you are sensitive to the bitterness of robusta, a one hundred percent arabica blend like this one is a logical choice.

My espresso from L'OR Riche Espresso tastes too bitter, what can I do?

Bitterness is usually caused by over extraction. Grind a little coarser, shorten the extraction time or set the brewing temperature one step lower if your machine allows it.

If your coffee tastes sour and thin instead, the opposite works: grind finer or set the temperature higher.

Do bear in mind that these beans are dark roasted with an intensity of 8, so a firm bittersweet chocolate note is part of this flavour profile.
