What does Orocrema mean?
The name combines oro (gold) and crema, the foam that covers an espresso. Covim describes this coffee as having a very creamy consistency, an intense aroma and a bold, lingering taste, with notes of cocoa and aromatic woods.
Orocrema, Granbar, Prestige or Giada: which should you choose?
Four Covim coffees available as beans at Cafemalin, from the most intense to the mildest:
- Orocrema (this product) — intensity 10/10, rich and robust, cocoa and aromatic woods.
- Granbar — intensity 9/10, rich and full-bodied, toast and dried fruit.
- Prestige — intensity 8/10, smooth and aromatic, with toast and red berry notes.
- Giada — intensity 7/10, mild with no bitterness, with caramel, nut and chocolate notes.
Which grind and brewing method should you use?
This coffee is sold as whole beans: grind it just before brewing. Use a fine grind for espresso, in a portafilter or bean-to-cup machine; medium-fine for a moka pot. Allow around 7 g per espresso.
How many cups does a 1 kg bag make?
Around 140 espressos using 7 g each, or around a hundred doubles using 10 g each. In a moka pot (around 15 g for 3 cups), a bag makes around sixty pots.
How should you store the coffee after opening?
Reseal the bag tightly after each use, or transfer the beans to an airtight, opaque container, away from heat, light and moisture; do not refrigerate. Use the coffee before the date printed on the pack, preferably within a few weeks of opening.
