Taste Profile
Kimbo Extra Cream is the signature creamy, full-bodied from Kimbo (a Neapolitan roaster founded in 1963 by the Rubino brothers). The name Extra Cream refers to the exceptionally dense and persistent crema it develops in the cup—thick, smooth, bouncy under the spoon, and lasting for over 90 seconds. It's composed of 40% Arabica and 60% Robusta —the Arabica beans come from Central and South America, complemented by premium Indian Robusta that provides the body and signature crema.
In the cup : a full-bodied and enveloping espresso , a very dense, dark hazelnut-colored crema , and signature notes of chocolate, cinnamon, black pepper , and hints of licorice . A generous body (8/10), a pronounced yet elegant bitterness, and a remarkable length on the palate—the perfect signature of traditional Neapolitan espresso served in Italian bars and trattorias. Also excellent as a cappuccino, latte macchiato, and other milk-based drinks : the crema passes through the heated milk without being crushed, offering an authentic Neapolitan cappuccino .
The XL 6kg pack is designed for intensive Ho.Re.Ca/medium to large office use : medium office with 20-40 employees (3-4 weeks of autonomy at 40-60 espressos/day), Italian restaurant/trattoria (~2-3 weeks of autonomy at 60-100 espressos/day), bar/Italian caffè (~10-15 days of autonomy at 100 espressos/day), hotel breakfast buffet . A smaller Extra Cream 3 x 1kg pack is available for smaller offices, or a Extra Cream 1kg single pack for those new to the product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the 6kg pack rather than the 3kg pack?
The choice between 3 kg and 6 kg Extra Cream depends solely on your weekly consumption volume :
- 3 x 1 kg — ideal for small offices (5-15 employees) or small trattorias, with a 3-4 week supply. More flexible stock rotation.
- 6 x 1 kg (this pack) — ideal for a medium-sized office (20-40 employees) / Italian restaurant / bar / hotel, lasting 3-4 weeks with a consumption of 40-60 cups/day. Best price per kilo , but requires regular consumption to avoid exceeding the best before date.
For very intensive traffic (>100 espressos/day), order several 6 kg packs with scheduled deliveries.
Is Extra Cream suitable for counter espresso service?
Absolutely yes. Extra Cream was historically designed for caffè al banco (short espresso served at the counter) — the signature of the Italian coffee bar. Its abundant and persistent crema respects the Neapolitan aesthetic, its spicy roundness pairs well with palates accustomed to Italian dark roast, and its full body holds up well to milk for cappuccinos and macchiatos. Many Italian bars in France use Extra Cream or its cousin, Espresso Napoletano, as their signature blend. Serving recommendation: preheated cups, immediate service, machine properly set at 93°C.
Who is this 6 x 1 kg pack intended for?
The XL 6kg Extra Cream pack is calibrated for intensive Ho.Re.Ca / medium to large office use :
- Medium office 20-40 employees — shared bean-to-cup machine, autonomy 3-4 weeks at 40-60 cups/day.
- Italian restaurant / trattoria / pizzeria — signature Neapolitan coffee, autonomy ~2-3 weeks at 60-100 espressos/day.
- Bar / Italian café / brasserie — espresso at the counter, autonomy ~10-15 days at 100 espressos/day.
- Hotel breakfast buffet — early morning coffee service.
Difference Extra Cream vs Prestige vs Cremoso vs Armonico?
The Kimbo range of whole bean coffee is available in different intensity and aromatic profiles :
- Prestige — intensity 5-6/10, 80/20 Arabica-Robusta, smooth and approachable, caramel/biscuits/hazelnut.
- Armonico — intensity 7/10, 70/30 Arabica-Robusta, balanced fruit/caramel/cane sugar.
- Cremoso — intensity 8/10, 50/50 Arabica-Robusta, smooth chocolate/hazelnut crema.
- Extra Cream (this blend) — intensity 8/10, 40/60 Arabica-Robusta, intense dark roast, abundant signature crema, chocolate/cinnamon/pepper.
Extra Cream is the perfect choice for the amateur or professional looking for exceptional crema and a full-bodied traditional Neapolitan espresso.
How many cups can you get from a 6 x 1 kg pack of Extra Cream?
The yield depends on the dosage per cup and the method:
- Strong espresso (7 g/cup) : ~857 espressos per pack.
- Standard espresso (9 g/cup) : ~666 cups.
- Italian Moka : ~400 cups of 100 mL.
- Cappuccino (7 g/cup + frothed milk) : ~857 cappuccinos.
For bar use (100 espressos/day), a 6kg pack lasts approximately 8-10 days. For average office use (40 cups/day), the supply lasts approximately 3 weeks.
