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 six 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 3 bags, or the full-bodied Kimbo Extra Cream 6 × 1 kg pack.
What is in the 6 kg Kimbo Espresso Mix pack?
Six 1 kg bags of Kimbo Espresso Mix coffee beans, identical to the bag sold individually. Open just one bag at a time; the other five stay sealed.
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 6 kg pack?
Around 860 espressos using 7 g, 600 to 670 using 9 or 10 g, and 330 to 430 double espressos using a portafilter (14 to 18 g). An office serving thirty espressos a day will use it in around a month.
A 6 kg pack or a 3 kg pack?
The pack of 6 bags suits high consumption: an office, a restaurant or a household of keen espresso lovers. For more moderate consumption, the pack of 3 bags avoids keeping coffee for too long; to try this coffee, choose the 1 kg bag.
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.
