Novanta – Italian Espresso Enjoyment Every Day
Italian roasting craftsmanship. Velvety sweetness. Exceptional balance.
Novanta – Italian for “ninety” – is our very own espresso blend, created for everyday enjoyment. A carefully crafted combination of selected coffees that brings together Italian espresso tradition, aromatic diversity and an unmistakably rounded character.
Together with our exclusive partner and premium roaster La Genovese, we have developed a blend consisting of 90% carefully selected Arabica beans and 10% high-quality Robusta. The Arabica beans define the blend's multifaceted flavour profile and natural sweetness, while the Robusta adds greater intensity and structure, creating an especially dense and rich crema.
Whether enjoyed as a morning espresso or as a delightful break throughout the day, Novanta combines effortless enjoyment with traditional Italian roasting craftsmanship. Its creamy character, delicate notes of cocoa and spices, and subtle fruity nuances make it a versatile companion for every occasion.
Slow roasted, classically Italian and particularly low in acidity.
Tasting Profile
The dominant notes are creamy milk chocolate, roasted hazelnut and caramel. These familiar flavours are complemented by brown sugar and ripe blackberry, adding a subtle fruity nuance and further depth to the profile.
On the palate, Novanta is full-bodied and velvety, with pronounced sweetness. Its very low acidity and delicately integrated bitterness create a pleasantly rounded taste experience.
Enjoyed on its own as an espresso, it impresses with its dense texture and harmonious interplay of flavours. In milk-based drinks, the chocolate, nut and caramel notes come particularly to the fore without losing their character. The finish is long-lasting and pleasantly sweet – an espresso that retains its distinctive character, whatever the preparation method.

Each coffee variety is gently roasted separately. Only afterwards are the individual roasts combined to create a harmoniously balanced blend.

The Meaning Behind the Name Novanta
Novanta is the Italian word for ninety and refers to the proportion of Arabica in our blend. The number also represents the balanced ratio of the two coffee varieties that make up this composition.
Why 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta?
The combination brings together two distinct characters: Arabica contributes aromatic diversity, delicate nuances and natural sweetness. Robusta complements the blend with strength, structure and a rich crema. Together, they create a versatile espresso with a distinctive character of its own.
What Makes Novanta So Exceptionally Well-Balanced?
The key lies in the combination of carefully selected green coffees and a gentle, slow roasting process. This allows the individual characteristics of each coffee to develop fully and come together in a harmonious whole. The result is a rounded espresso with pronounced sweetness, a velvety mouthfeel and remarkably low acidity
