Flavour profile
Kimbo Espresso Mix is a medium-roast blend of Arabica and Robusta designed for espresso. Kimbo publishes neither the proportions nor the origins; distributors selling it describe it as balanced yet intense, with a rich flavour, a rounded body and a thick crema, notes of cocoa and a spicy, roasted touch.
It pairs well with milk: as a short espresso, a cappuccino or a latte macchiato. It is suitable for both bean-to-cup machines and portafilter machines.
The pack contains three individually sealed 1 kg bags: open one at a time while the others stay fresh.

Frequently asked questions
When will this pack be available again?
This product is currently unavailable to order. Enter your email address in the ‘Notify me’ form on this page: you will be notified as soon as it is back in stock.
In the meantime, at Cafemalin: the same coffee in a 1 kg bag or a pack of 6 bags, or the full-bodied Kimbo Extra Cream 3 × 1 kg pack.
What is in the 3 kg Kimbo Espresso Mix pack?
Three 1 kg bags of Kimbo Espresso Mix coffee beans, identical to the bag sold individually. Each bag stays sealed until you open it: start the next one when the first is finished.
What do Kimbo Espresso Mix coffee beans taste like?
Distributors selling it describe it as balanced yet intense: a rich flavour, a rounded body, a thick crema, notes of cocoa and a spicy, roasted touch. It is a medium-roast blend of Arabica and Robusta, for which Kimbo publishes neither the proportions nor the origins.
Is Kimbo Espresso Mix suitable for cappuccino?
Yes: distributors say it is made to pair with milk. Its body and crema hold up in a cappuccino or latte macchiato, and it can also be enjoyed as a short espresso.
How many cups can you make with the 3 kg pack?
Around 430 espressos using 7 g, 300 to 330 using 9 or 10 g, and 165 to 215 double espressos using a portafilter (14 to 18 g).
A 3 kg pack, a 6 kg pack or a 1 kg bag?
It all depends on how much coffee you use: the 1 kg bag to try this coffee, this pack of 3 bags for regular use at home or in a small team, or the pack of 6 bags for an office or restaurant.
How should you store the bags?
Keep the bags sealed, away from heat and light, until the date printed on each one. Once a bag is open, carefully reseal it, squeezing out the air, or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container. Avoid the fridge: moisture and odours damage the beans.
