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 balanced blend of medium to dark roast Arabica and Robusta beans, offering: a dense and persistent crema (the famous Italian cremoso); a generous body and pronounced intensity; notes of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut, and toast; and a slightly spicy, long finish. 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 tastes: Classico Intenzo e Cremoso (€17.50) — an Arabica + Robusta blend, medium-dark roast, intense body, dense crema. Chocolate/hazelnut notes. Ideal for a classic Italian espresso. Classico ORO (€28.50) — a premium selection, ORO = gold in Italian, a reference to premium quality. Higher proportion of Arabica, lighter roast, finer and more complex aromas, better-balanced acidity. Floral notes, ripe fruit, milk chocolate. Our advice: Classico Intenzo for a traditional Italian everyday espresso, Classico ORO for a special occasion or for connoisseurs of premium coffee.

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

Americano Dark Roast (€27.95 per kg) is a very dark roast blend, designed for: Strong, full-bodied espresso: maximum intensity, powerful body, notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and spices. Americano-style lungo: espresso diluted with hot water — the dark roast holds up well to dilution without becoming bland. Filter/French press: the dark roast produces a long coffee with a pronounced character. Also available in a 12 x 1 kg professional pack for HoReCa and high-volume consumers.

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 (pure origin premium with fine aromas), AmericanoDark Roast (deep roast, intense body for short espresso or long lungo), 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.
