Bristot L'Americano Dark Roast coffee bean pack 12 kg — 12 × 1 kg

AnAmericano is a long, American-style coffee —a 200-300 mL cup—often made by diluting an espresso with hot water, or brewed directly in a filter coffee maker. Dark roast is the signature American and Italian Alpine style for this type of preparation: it amplifies the notes of dark chocolate, burnt caramel , and toast, resulting in a coffee that holds its even when diluted to double the volume. Bristot, a roaster from Trentino (Italian Alps) since 1919, offers this style in a balanced Arabica-Robusta blend specifically calibrated for the hospitality industry.

The XXL 12 kg pack is a professional format , calibrated for:

• Catering (bistros, brasseries, hotels) — consumption 30-80 cups/day, autonomy 3-6 weeks.
• intensive CHR (bars, cafes, tea rooms) — 100+ cups/day, autonomy ~2 weeks.
• Large company office break room — 50+ people, professional grain machine with grinder.
• Vending / automatic distribution — automatic machines with 3-5 heads.

For more moderate use, choose the 6 x 1 kg pack or the 1 kg single bag.

It's a deliberate choice for freshness :

• Coffee aromas degrade when exposed to air (lipid oxidation + loss of volatile essential oils). An opened 12 kg bag loses approximately 30% of its aromas in 4 weeks.
• in 12 sealed 1 kg bags with a degassing valve, each bag remains fresh until opened. An opened bag should be consumed within approximately one week (for use in the hospitality industry), while the remaining 11 bags remain sealed.
• Consistency and regularity of cup : each new bag gives a coffee with an identical, against a progressive drift with a single 12 kg bag that is stale.

This is the pro quality standard for XXL packs — the same approach as Delta, Lavazza and Kimbo on their 12-30 kg packs.

This pack contains whole grains — you adjust the grind according to your machine:

• Automatic grain machine (integrated grinder) — medium grind selector 5-7/10. The machine adjusts the dose and pressure.
• Espresso filter holder — fine grind , 14-18 g double dose, extraction 25-30 s for an espresso or 30-40 s for a lungo.
• Filter coffee maker (grind on demand on dedicated grinder) — medium, ratio 60 g / L.
• Bialetti Moka — medium-fine, full basket without packing.

Hospitality tip : on large vending machines / volumetric percolators, a medium-medium fine grind gives the best compromise between flow rate and cup body.

Each opened 1 kg bag remains optimal for:

• Intensive use in the hospitality industry (100+ cups/day) — 4-7 days, aroma intact.
• Moderate professional use (30-50 cups/day) — 10-14 days, slight loss of aroma but still excellent coffee.
• Home/small office use — ~3 weeks, if bag resealed with its heat-sealable strip or transferred into an opaque airtight jar.

The other 11 sealed bags can be stored until the indicated best before date (generally 18 to 24 months from roasting), away from light and heat.
