Caffè Borbone Crema Superiore Whole Bean Coffee 998 g — Medium Roast Arabica & Robusta, Chocolate & Vanilla Notes

Caffè Borbone Crema Superiore is a 2.2 lb bag of whole bean medium-roast espresso blend combining Arabica and Robusta for a balanced cup with chocolate and vanilla notes.

This whole-bean blend is formulated for home baristas and coffee lovers who want a versatile espresso-style coffee that works across brewing methods. Sourced from South America, Africa, and Asia, the beans aim to deliver a smooth, slightly sweet profile that adapts when used with espresso machines, moka pots, French presses, drip brewers or pour-overs. Because the beans are sold whole, you control the grind size and freshness for each brew.

What flavor can I expect from these Caffè Borbone beans?

The Crema Superiore blend highlights medium-roast characteristics with a rounded body and approachable sweetness. Tasting notes commonly include chocolate and vanilla tones that lend a soft, dessert-like finish without overpowering bitterness.

• Medium roast profile for balance between brightness and body
• Chocolate and vanilla flavor cues for a naturally sweet impression
• Blend of Arabica and Robusta for both aroma and crema
• Consistent across espresso and other brewing styles

How should I grind and brew these whole beans?

Always grind just before brewing for maximum aroma and flavor. Adjust grind size to match your equipment: fine for espresso and moka pots, medium for drip or pour-over, and coarse for French press.

• Espresso — fine grind, 18–20 seconds extraction as a starting point
• Moka pot — fine-to-medium grind for balanced extraction
• Drip/pour-over — medium grind for clear clarity and body
• French press — coarse grind and 4-minute steep for fuller mouthfeel

How many cups does a 2.2 lb bag make and how long does it stay fresh?

A 2.2 lb (1 kilo) bag provides roughly 900–1000 grams of coffee, which can brew approximately 120–140 standard 8-ounce cups depending on dose. Whole beans retain freshness longer than pre-ground coffee, but best flavor is within weeks after opening.

• Approximate yield: 120–140 eight-ounce cups at typical 7–9 g per cup
• Store in a cool, dark place in an airtight container after opening
• Consume within 2–4 weeks of opening for peak aroma

Which brewing methods suit the Crema Superiore blend best?

Crema Superiore was created to be flexible: it performs well as an espresso while also delivering satisfying results in manual and drip methods. Expect richer crema and body in espresso; manual methods will emphasize its chocolate and vanilla notes and reveal subtle acidity.

• Espresso machine — pronounced crema and balanced body
• Moka pot — concentrated flavor similar to stovetop espresso
• Pour-over & drip — cleaner cup highlighting sweet notes
• French press — fuller, heavier mouthfeel with rounded sweetness

Who is this for? Caffè Borbone Crema Superiore whole beans are aimed at home baristas and coffee drinkers who want a medium-roast espresso-style blend that adapts to multiple brewing methods. It suits people who prefer to grind beans fresh, enjoy chocolate-and-vanilla flavor cues, and value a bag large enough for frequent brewing or for households with several coffee drinkers. If you need precise espresso performance or prefer single-origin roasts, you may still find this blended option useful as a reliable everyday coffee with approachable flavor.
