Kimbo Coffee Beans

Two classic Kimbo blends with distinct orientations:

Kimbo Prestige — the absolute best-seller in the Kimbo bean range. A dark roast Arabica and Robusta blend, typically Neapolitan. Notes of chocolate, dark cocoa, and toast . Intense body, long finish. The benchmark blend for a full-bodied, traditional Neapolitan espresso.

Kimbo Extra Cream — a blend specially crafted to produce a dense and persistent crema. Balanced roast, optimized blend for crema. Generous body with a smooth, creamy surface. Ideal for cappuccinos, latte art, or visually stunning espressos.

Our advice : Prestige for authentic Neapolitan aromatic power, Extra Cream for a "photogenic" espresso with a beautiful crema.

It's a question of Italian regional identity :

• Kimbo was born in Naples — the Neapolitan capital of espresso, where they favor a dark, an Arabica + Robusta blend richer in Robusta, and an intense, full-bodied character. It's the "southern Italy" style of espresso.
• Lavazza was born in Turin — the industrial north of Italy. Balanced blends, lighter, more versatile.
• Illy was born in Trieste — culture of refined espresso, lighter roast, 100% Arabica only, finer notes.

Each brand embodies a regional Italian school . Kimbo is the choice of lovers of authentic Neapolitan espresso , full-bodied and with a long finish.

Yes, most Kimbo blends contain Robusta in varying proportions:

• Prestige and Espresso Mix : high proportion of Robusta for a powerful Italian-style espresso. Intense body, dense crema, notes of cocoa/toast.
• Extra Cream and Cremoso : balanced Arabica/Robusta blend for a creamy and full-bodied result.
• Armonico : higher proportion of Arabica for a more harmonious and aromatic profile, less full-bodied.

Robusta is not a drawback: it provides the body, dense crema , and caffeine that define traditional Italian espresso. Purists of 100% Arabica will prefer Bristot Classico ORO or a single-origin range.

Like all whole bean coffees, Kimbo can be stored for several months provided it is stored correctly:

• Original packaging with its one-way valve : lets CO₂ escape without letting oxygen in.
• Dry place, away from light and heat sources.
• Do NOT refrigerate or freeze : moisture damages the grain.
• Consume within 2 months of opening for maximum freshness.

For the 3×1 kg and 6×1 kg pro packs, open only one bag at a time — the others remain sealed and protected.

The choice depends on your consumption volume:

• 1 kg — household use 1 to 4 cups/day. Approximately 4 to 6 weeks of consumption at a rate of 3 espressos/day.
• 3 x 1 kg — for a high-consumption household or small office (2-5 people). Approximately 3 to 4 months. Savings ~15% per kg vs. 1 kg individually.
• 6 x 1 kg — average office, light catering. Approximately 6 to 8 months. Savings ~20%.

Kimbo Pro packs are delivered in individual 1 kg bags (not one large 3 or 6 kg bag) — you open one bag at a time to preserve freshness. Ideal for Ho.Re.Ca.
