Flavour profile
Kimbo Cremoso combines equal parts Arabica and Robusta, with a medium roast. Distributors selling this bag rank it among the most full-bodied Kimbo coffees: a bold flavour, a spicy aroma (cinnamon, liquorice), notes of toast and hazelnut, and the thick crema that gives it its name.
The Robusta half provides body and crema, while the Arabica half provides aroma. Despite its name, this is not a mild coffee: for a smoother espresso, choose Kimbo Prestige, which is predominantly Arabica.

This product is currently unavailable to order. Enter your email address in the ‘Notify me’ form on this page: you will be notified as soon as it is back in stock.

What do Kimbo Cremoso coffee beans taste like?
A full-bodied coffee with a bold flavour, according to the distributors who sell it: a spicy aroma, notes of cinnamon and liquorice, a hint of toast and hazelnut, and a thick crema. It combines equal parts Arabica and Robusta, with a medium roast.
Is Kimbo Cremoso a mild coffee?
Kimbo Cremoso or Extra Cream?
Two full-bodied coffees with thick crema:
- Cremoso (this coffee) — half Arabica, half Robusta, spicy notes of cinnamon and liquorice.
- Extra Cream — predominantly Robusta, full body, notes of pepper and liquorice, very creamy texture.
Is Kimbo Cremoso suitable for cappuccino?
Yes: its body and crema stand up to milk, and its spicy notes remain noticeable in a cappuccino. You can also enjoy it as a short espresso.
How many cups can you make with 1 kg of Kimbo Cremoso?
Around 140 espressos with a 7 g dose, and 100 to 110 with 9 to 10 g, the dose used by a bean-to-cup machine set for a more full-bodied coffee. With a portafilter, for double espressos (14 to 18 g), expect 55 to 70 cups.
How should you store an opened 1 kg bag?
Reseal the bag tightly after each use, squeezing out the air, or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container away from heat and light. Avoid the fridge: moisture and odours damage the beans. An unopened bag will keep until the date printed on it.
