Kimbo Prestige is part of Kimbo's professional coffee beans range, sold in 1 kg bags. It is a blend of Arabica and Robusta, predominantly Arabica (65% Arabica according to Kimbo's UK product sheet, more according to some distributors), with a medium roast.
In the cup, Kimbo describes it as very balanced: a medium body, elegant sweetness, notes of caramel, biscuit and dried fruit such as dates, delicate acidity and a lingering, spicy finish. After Kimbo Bio, it is the mildest of the Kimbo coffee beans in the catalogue; enjoy it as an espresso or a cappuccino.
The pack contains six individually sealed 1 kg bags: open one at a time while the others stay fresh.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 6 kg Kimbo Prestige pack contain?
Six 1 kg bags of Kimbo Prestige coffee beans, identical to the bag sold individually: this is the case Kimbo uses to supply this coffee to bars and restaurants. Open just one bag at a time; the other five stay sealed.
What do Kimbo Prestige coffee beans taste like?
Kimbo describes it as a very balanced coffee: a medium body, elegant sweetness, notes of caramel, biscuit and dried fruit, delicate acidity and a lingering, spicy finish. It is a predominantly Arabica blend of Arabica and Robusta, smoother than the predominantly Robusta Extra Cream.
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.
Prestige or Extra Cream: which pack should you choose?
Both coffees come in the same format:
- Prestige (this pack) — predominantly Arabica, balanced, caramel and dried fruit: a smooth espresso.
- Extra Cream 6 × 1 kg — predominantly Robusta, full body, thick crema: for a stronger espresso or a cappuccino.
How should you store the bags?
Keep the bags sealed, away from heat and light, until the date printed on each one; Kimbo states a shelf life of 18 months for Prestige. Once a bag is open, reseal it carefully, squeezing out the air, or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container. Avoid the fridge: moisture and odours damage the beans.
