Flavour profile
Kimbo Extra Cream blends Arabica and Robusta coffees from South America and Asia, with Robusta predominating (65% Robusta on Kimbo's UK product sheet, 60% on Kimbo's Argentinian product sheet), with a medium roast.
In the cup: a full, creamy texture, an intense aroma and a bold flavour with sweet-tart notes according to Kimbo; distributors of the same bag identify pepper and liquorice. The Robusta content provides the thick crema that gives it its name and stands up to the milk in a cappuccino or latte macchiato.
The pack contains three individually sealed 1 kg bags: open one at a time while the others stay fresh.

Frequently asked questions
What is in the 3 kg Kimbo Extra Cream pack?
Three 1 kg bags of Kimbo Extra Cream 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 Extra Cream coffee beans taste like?
A bold flavour and an intense aroma, according to Kimbo, with a full, creamy texture and sweet-tart notes; distributors of the same bag identify pepper and liquorice. This is a predominantly Robusta blend with a medium to full body, more pronounced than Prestige.
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.
Is Kimbo Extra Cream suitable for cappuccino?
Yes: its body and crema stand up to milk. Kimbo's Argentinian product sheet recommends it for everything from espresso to cappuccino and latte macchiato. For a cappuccino, make an espresso of 25 to 30 ml and top up with frothed milk.
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.
