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).

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).
What does a capsule contain?
5,5 g of roasted and ground coffee, in an aluminium capsule which, according to Kimbo, protects the coffee from moisture, light and oxygen. The box contains 30 capsules, enough for 30 espressos.
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.
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.
