Kimbo Prestige Coffee Beans 1 kg

Kimbo describes it as a very well-balanced coffee : medium body, elegant sweetness, notes of caramel , biscuit and dried fruit , fine acidity, and a spicy, lingering finish. It's a blend of Arabica and Robusta , predominantly Arabica , and rounder than the Robusta-dominant Extra Cream

Yes. Kimbo advertises a roaston its English product information sheets. This produces a well-rounded cup, dominated by caramel and dried fruit notes, rather than a bitter espresso. The beans are suitable for espresso, cappuccino, and Italian coffee makers.

Both are medium roasted, but their blends are contrasting:

• Prestige (this coffee) — predominantly Arabica, balanced, caramel and dried fruit: a well-rounded espresso to drink on its own.
• Extra Cream — Robusta dominant, full body, assertive taste, thick crema: for a stronger espresso or cappuccino.

Approximately 140 espressos with a 7g dose, and 100 to 110 with 9 to 10g, the dose used by a bean-to-cup machine set to a stronger coffee. Using a portafilter, with a double espresso (14 to 18g), expect 55 to 70 cups.

Yes : these are whole beans, to be ground just before extraction, either by the grinder of an automatic machine or by a grinder for a portafilter machine or a Moka pot. For espresso, start with a fine grind and adjust until you reach a flow time of 25 to 30 seconds.

Prestige is part of professional range , the one for bars and restaurants, delivered in 1 kg bags in cartons of six. At Cafemalin, it is available in 1 kg bags and in packs of 3 bags and 6 bags.

Reseal the bag tightly after each use, expelling any air, or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container, away from heat and light. Avoid the refrigerator: humidity and odors will damage the beans. A sealed bag will keep until the date printed on it; Kimbo states an 18-month shelf life for Prestige.
