Napoli is the blend that Kimbo, a roaster from Naples, offers in Lavazza Blue compatible capsules: several grades of Arabica and Robusta for a balanced, full-bodied espresso. Kimbo identifies hints of caramel, notes of biscuit and dried fruit, a pleasant touch of acidity and a lingering, spicy finish.
The capsule is used just like an original Lavazza Blue capsule, in machines using the Blue system. In the original Lavazza range, the closest profiles are Amabile and Tales of Roma, two Arabica and Robusta blends rated 10 out of 13.
