"Francesca" | espresso blend

“Francesca” – classic & balanced espresso

Francesca is our classic and well-balanced espresso blend. It is ideal for anyone looking for a full-bodied yet harmonious espresso with distinct notes of chocolate and roasted hazelnuts.

The blend combines Arabica from Brazil with Robusta from Karnataka in India. The Brazilian coffee contributes natural sweetness, chocolate notes and a gentle acidity. The Robusta adds extra body, a creamy crema and a pleasantly intense character.

Francesca is medium roasted to create a fine balance between sweetness, body and roasted aromas. The result is a rounded and flavourful espresso without excessive bitterness.

It is equally enjoyable as a straight espresso or in cappuccino, macchiato and caffè latte. Francesca also works very well in bean-to-cup machines and is a reliable choice for anyone who enjoys a classic espresso with a distinct nutty character.
