Moka Efti Extra Bar, 250g bag bean

This espresso has its origin in the Berlin of the 20s. The Extra Bar blend with a good proportion of Robusta beans can be described as an all-rounder.
Composition: 70% Arabica beans I 30% Robusta beans
Origin of the beans: Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Tanzania, Guatemala
Roasting degree: Medium roasting.
As espresso very well balanced with beautiful crema and fine fruity acidity as well as well dosed aromas of dark chocolate. Just strong enough to drink in a cappuccino. Due to the medium roasting, this full-bodied but mild blend can also be enjoyed in a fully automatic machine as Schümli (Caffe Creme). It tolerates the longer processing time without becoming watery or bitter. On the contrary, you can expect a wonderfully long cup that tastes great right down to the last sip. The selected Arabica and Robustabohnen are very nicely uniformly roasted and result in a good overall picture.
