Kimbo Extra Cream coffee beans 6 kg pack — 6 × 1 kg

Six 1 kg bags of Kimbo Extra Cream coffee beans, identical to the bag sold individually: this is the box Kimbo uses to supply this coffee to bars and restaurants. You open just one bag at a time; the other five stay sealed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
