Bristot Americano Dark Roast 1 kg — the filter coffee from Bristot, described by the roaster as ‘our filter coffee’ (L'americano). 100% Arabica, with a dark roast (dark roast), designed for gentle brewing methods: pour-over, French press and filter coffee machines.
In the cup: a rich, intense coffee with a touch of acidity and a long finish, with notes of dark chocolate, cocoa bean and toast. Bristot recommends around 60 g of ground coffee per litre of water.
Who it's for: long coffee enthusiasts who find Italian espresso too concentrated, offices with a filter coffee machine, and brasseries serving filter coffee or an americano on the menu. In a bean-to-cup machine, select the long coffee programme.

Frequently asked questions
What is a dark roast?
Dark roast = a dark degree of roast. The coffee beans are roasted for longer and at a higher temperature than classic espresso blends — until they turn dark brown or even black, with brown oils visible on the surface of the beans.
Effects in the cup: more pronounced notes of roast, cocoa and dark chocolate, a fuller body and more noticeable bitterness. A style widely enjoyed in North America, particularly for filter coffee. Bristot's Americano Dark Roast retains a touch of acidity and a long finish.
Americano, espresso, filter coffee: what's the difference?
Three ways to serve coffee:
- Italian espresso — a short extraction (25–30 ml in around 25 s), a short, concentrated coffee to drink in 1–2 sips.
- Americano — an espresso topped up with hot water for a longer, less concentrated cup.
- Filter coffee — water passes slowly through the grounds (pour-over, French press, filter coffee machine): this is the brewing method Bristot designed this coffee for.
Despite its name, Americano Dark Roast is therefore primarily a filter coffee; in a bean-to-cup machine, it works well with the long coffee programme.
Who is this blend for?
For long coffee enthusiasts / brasseries / restaurants with a varied coffee menu:
- Households that enjoy lungo — if you find Italian espresso too concentrated.
- Office — a bean-to-cup machine for employees' everyday long coffees.
- Brasserie / restaurant — offer Americano on the menu alongside espresso.
- North American-style cafeteria — US customers or long coffee enthusiasts.
- French press — gentle brewing that brings out the notes of dark chocolate and cocoa.
