Kimbo Espresso Mix coffee bean pack 3 kg — 3 × 1 kg

The XL 3kg pack is a medium office/moderate hospitality format , calibrated for:

• Average office 10-20 employees — consumption 20-40 espressos/day, autonomy 2-4 weeks.
• Premium liberal practice (lawyers, notaries, accountants) — waiting room + meeting room, ~15-25 espressos/day.
• Moderate CHR (small bistro, neighborhood brasserie, tea room) — 30-60 espressos/day.
• Medium office break room (10-20 people) — shared bean machine.

For lighter use (heavy household, small office), use a 1kg bag. For more intensive use (heavy hospitality, large company), opt for the 6-12kg packs of other Kimbo blends (Prestige, Extra Cream).

It's a deliberate choice for freshness :

• Coffee aromas degrade when exposed to air (lipid oxidation + loss of volatile essential oils). An opened 3 kg bag loses approximately 30% of its aroma in 4-6 weeks.
• In 3 sealed 1 kg bags with a degassing valve, each bag remains fresh until opened. The opened bag should be consumed within 1-2 weeks (moderate office use), while the other two remain sealed.
• Consistency and regularity of cup : each new bag gives a coffee with an identical, against a progressive drift with a single 3 kg bag that is stale.

This is the pro quality standard for XL packs — the same approach as Delta, Lavazza and Bristot on their 3-12 kg packs.

This pack contains whole grains — you adjust the grind according to your machine:

• Automatic grain machine (integrated grinder) — medium grind selector 5-7/10. The machine adjusts the dose and pressure.
• Espresso filter holder — fine grind , 14-18 g double dose, 25-30 s extraction.
• Bialetti Moka — medium-fine, full basket without packing, gentle heat.
• Filter coffee maker (grind on demand) — medium, ratio 60 g / L.

Kimbo tip : the Espresso Mix blend, less full-bodied than the Napoletano, lends itself well to all these methods — but gives its best potential in an automatic bean-to-cup home machine (Delonghi Magnifica, Jura E6, Melitta Caffeo).

The yield depends on the dosage per cup :

• Strong espresso (7 g/cup) : ~429 cups per 3 kg pack.
• Standard espresso (8 g/cup) : ~375 cups per pack.
• Long espresso / lungo (10 g/cup) : ~300 cups per pack.
• Filter coffee maker (60 g / L, i.e. 12 g for 200 mL) : ~250 cups per pack.

For typical office use of 30 espressos per day , a 3kg pack lasts approximately 2-3 weeks . For lighter use (small office, heavy household consumption), the supply can last up to 1-2 months .

Each opened 1 kg bag remains optimal for:

• Average office use (30-40 cups/day) — 1-2 weeks, aroma intact.
• Moderate CHR use (50-80 cups/day) — 5-8 days, aromas still excellent.
• Intensive household use (5-10 cups/day) — ~4 weeks, if bag resealed with its heat-sealable band or transferred into an opaque airtight jar.

The other 2 sealed bags can be kept until the indicated best before date (generally 18 to 24 months from roasting), away from light and heat.

Kimbo's three iconic blends reflect different profiles :

• Espresso Mix (this pack) — a balanced Arabica-Robusta blend, intensity 8/12, with notes of chocolate and dried fruit. The most versatile : suitable for all palates and all brewing methods.
• Napoletano — a traditional Neapolitan blend, 100% Robusta or a very strong Arabica-Robusta blend, intensity 11-12/12. The authentic Neapolitan bar blend : very intense, with a very thick crema and pronounced bitterness. For those who appreciate strong, classic Italian coffee.
• Extra Cream — blend specifically calibrated for dense cream, Arabica-dominant, intensity 8-9/12. Fruity and chocolatey notes.

At Cafemalin, the complete Kimbo range is available in whole bean, ground, Nespresso-compatible capsules, and XL 3-6 kg packs. See the Kimbo brand hub.
