Italian Torrefazione of the Dolomites since 1919

Bristot Coffee Beans

Q: Which machine should I choose to prepare Bristot coffee beans?

Bristot whole bean coffee is designed to be freshly ground at the time of extraction, which implies two possible configurations: 1. Coffee machine with integrated grinder — the most practical. A single appliance grinds and prepares the espresso: see our grinder machines. Ideal for home and small office use. 2. Espresso machine + separate grinder — the purist configuration. A dedicated grinder (on-demand type) allows for fine-tuning the grind according to the blend and maximum freshness. Recommended for barista or Ho.Re.Ca use. Bristot is notably the official coffee of numerous Ho.Re.Ca establishments in Italy and internationally — 65% of Procaffè's volume is destined for professionals.

Q: How to store Bristot coffee beans to preserve their aromas?

Whole bean coffee retains its aroma for several months if stored correctly: Original packaging with its one-way valve: allows CO₂ to escape from the freshly roasted bean without letting in oxygen. Dry place, away from light and heat sources (oven, coffee machine). Do NOT refrigerate: humidity and food odors will spoil the bean. Do NOT freeze: thawing creates condensation that damages the aromatic oils. Consume within 2 months of opening for the best freshness of espresso.

Q: Bristot Classico Intenzo e Cremoso: what is its aromatic profile?

Classico Intenzo e Cremoso is the absolute best-seller in the Bristot range. It's a blend of medium to dark roast Arabica and Robusta beans, offering: a dense and persistent crema (the famous Italian cremoso); a generous body and the highest intensity on the Bristot scale: 10/10; and notes of tobacco, wood, and milk chocolate, according to Bristot. Bristot presents it as the Italian breakfast coffee. It's the ideal blend for a traditional Italian espresso—short, dense, with a beautiful crema. It also works very well as a lungo or cappuccino.

Q: Difference between Bristot Classico Intenzo and Classico ORO?

Both blends come from the same Classico family but target different taste profiles: Classico Intenzo e Cremoso (€17.50) — Arabica + Robusta blend, 10/10 intensity, intense body, dense crema. Notes of tobacco, wood, and milk chocolate. Ideal for a classic Italian espresso. Classico ORO (€28.50) — ORO = gold in Italian. Arabica + Robusta blend, medium roast, 9/10 intensity: smooth and full-bodied ("morbido e corposo"), notes of chocolate, malt, and nuts. Our recommendation: Classico Intenzo for the more intense of the two, Classico ORO for a full-bodied but smoother coffee with chocolate notes.

Q: Bristot Americano Dark Roast: for what type of preparation?

Bristot's Americano Dark Roast (€27.95 per kg) is their filter coffee: 100% Arabica, dark roast, with notes of dark chocolate, cocoa bean, and toast, a pointof acidity, and a long finish. It is designed for: Filter coffee makers and pour-over brewing: Bristot recommends approximately 60g of ground coffee per liter of water. French press: gentle extraction, resulting in a long coffee with a pronounced character. Long coffee in bean-to-cup machines: use the long coffee or Americano program (espresso with hot water).

Bristot in 90 seconds

In 1918, a young man from Belluno, Domenico Bristot , went to Vienna where he was fascinated by Viennese coffee houses—the exchange of ideas, the aromas, the art of living around a cup of coffee. Returning to Belluno , at the foot of the Dolomites, he founded Torrefazione Bristot in 1919 , with a simple conviction: to cultivate artisanal excellence through slow roasting that respects the bean.

More than a century later, Bristot has become the flagship brand of the Procaffè SpA group , which also includes the historic Italian brands Deorsola (Turin, 1920), Breda (Padua, 1921), Vescovi (Padua, 1927), and Testa Rossa . Since 2000, Procaffè has been part of the Austrian group WEDL & Hofmann GmbH , guaranteeing Bristot financial stability and an international presence in more than 65 countries .

At Cafemalin, we stock the 1kg whole bean coffee designed for professionals and demanding amateurs: Classico Intenzo e Cremoso (absolute best-seller, balanced blend with dense crema), Classico ORO (smooth and full-bodied, notes of chocolate, malt and nuts), AmericanoDark Roast (the house filter coffee, 100% Arabica in dark roast), as well as the 6kg professional pack for offices, catering and Ho.Re.Ca.

Bristot was named Torrefazione dell'Anno 2023-24 by the Guida Camaleonte (Italy's coffee guide), and its signature Tiziano 1919 Riserva Domenico Bristot blend was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the world's best coffees. The brand also operates the Bristot Coffee Academy , an SCA Premier Training Campus certified center with over 30 international trainers—one of the few in Europe.

Selection by team Cafemalin . Selection & tests carried out by our expert coffee team — direct sourcing with major European brands (Nabeiro, Lavazza, illy, Bristot).
