Passalacqua Mehari is a strong, full-bodied Italian espresso blend, sold as whole beans in a 1 kg pack. Beans from four different origins, Arabica among them, give the coffee its depth, while the cup stays creamy and balanced rather than sharp. A powerful body and velvety crema make it a natural choice for espresso, and it holds its own in a cappuccino too.

Details

Mehari is an Italian blend from Passalacqua, named after the Mehari dromedary. The name is meant to say something about the coffee: speed, strength and elegance. In the cup that means an intense espresso with real weight, rated 10 out of 13 on the Café du Jour strength scale.

Flavour profile

The blend brings together beans from four different origins: 55% Arabica and 45% Robusta, given a medium-dark roast. That mix is where the complexity comes from. The coffee tastes strong and full-bodied, with a creamy texture, and it does all that without sharpness or imbalance. A short espresso tastes deep and rounded, not harsh.

How to drink it

With its powerful body and velvety crema, Mehari is first and foremost an espresso bean. It also does well in cappuccino and other milk-based drinks, where that body keeps the coffee from being lost in the milk. It suits anyone who likes a pronounced Italian coffee: intensity, depth and harmony in the same cup.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Is Passalacqua Mehari certified organic?

No. Passalacqua has several blends and not all of them are certified organic. Our product data lists no official organic label for Passalacqua Mehari.

If you are looking specifically for certified organic coffee, have a look at our range of organic coffee beans.

Where does Passalacqua Mehari come from?

Passalacqua is a Neapolitan coffee roaster and Mehari is produced in Italy. The blend is named after the mehari dromedary and is the brand's best-selling blend.

The medium-dark roast and the rich, creamy flavour are typical of the Neapolitan espresso style.

How strong is Passalacqua Mehari?

On our intensity scale Passalacqua Mehari sits at 10, in other words very powerful. That suits the medium-dark roast, the full body and the velvety crema.

The flavour is creamy and chocolatey and stays in balance, without sharpness. If you still find the result too bitter, grind a little coarser or let the espresso run for a shorter time.

How much Arabica is in Passalacqua Mehari?

The blend is fifty-five percent Arabica and is made up of four different origins. The rest of the blend is Robusta, which gives it the full body and the thick crema.

That ratio makes Mehari powerful and full, but still balanced.

Which coffee drinks is Passalacqua Mehari suitable for?

Mehari is meant for espresso, cappuccino, caffè crema and lungo. Its powerful body means the coffee flavour still comes through well alongside milk.

You receive whole coffee beans in a 1 kilo bag, so you need a grinder or a machine with a built-in grinder. For a double espresso you use around 16 to 20 grams of ground coffee.
