Flavour profile
Barista Espresso Napoli is the coffee Kimbo dedicates to its home city: a medium-dark roast blend of Arabica and Robusta. Kimbo describes it as balanced, with a generous body and an elegant sweetness, with an aroma reminiscent of biscuits fresh from the oven, floral hints and a note of vanilla; the finish leaves notes of dried fruit.
In the cup: a smooth rather than bitter espresso, with an intensity of 10/13 on Kimbo's scale. Milder than Kimbo Ristretto (12/13, dark roast), a little more intense than Barista 100% Arabica (9/13).

Frequently asked questions
Which machines are these capsules compatible with?
All Nespresso® Original machines, which use the small, classic capsules: Essenza Mini, Inissia, Pixie, CitiZ, Lattissima, Creatista… They do not fit Vertuo machines, which use larger capsules with a barcode, or Nespresso Professional machines.
What does this pack contain?
10 boxes of 10 capsules, giving you 100 capsules and 100 espressos. Each aluminium capsule contains 5,5 g of roasted and ground coffee: 550 g of coffee in total. According to Kimbo, aluminium protects the coffee from moisture, light and oxygen. The same coffee is also available in a box of 30 capsules.
Barista 100% Arabica, Napoli or Ristretto: which Kimbo capsule should you choose?
The three Nespresso-compatible Kimbo coffees from Cafemalin, on Kimbo's intensity scale (from 1 to 13):
- Barista 100% Arabica — 9/13, medium-dark roast, notes of fresh flowers, honey and toast.
- Barista Espresso Napoli (this coffee) — 10/13, Arabica and Robusta, medium-dark roast, balanced and mild, notes of biscuit, flowers and vanilla.
- Barista Ristretto — 12/13, the most intense, dark roast, notes of caramel, dark chocolate and malt.
Is Kimbo Napoli suitable for a cappuccino?
Yes. Its body and sweetness stand up to milk: a 40 ml espresso topped with 100 to 120 ml of hot frothed milk makes a smooth cappuccino. For a coffee flavour that comes through more strongly in milk, choose Kimbo Ristretto (12/13).
How should you store the capsules?
In their box, away from heat, light and moisture. Each capsule is packed in a protective atmosphere: the coffee keeps until the date printed on the box. With 100 capsules, you have enough to last more than three months at one coffee a day.
Where is this coffee roasted?
Kimbo roasts its coffee at its factory in Melito di Napoli, near Naples. It is a Neapolitan company, founded in 1963 by the brothers Francesco, Gerardo and Elio Rubino.
