Kimbo does not publish the proportions or origins; distributors who sell it describe it as balanced yet intense, with a rich taste, a full body and thick crema, with notes of cocoa and a spicy, roasted touch.
It pairs well with milk: a strong espresso, a cappuccino, or a latte macchiato. It is suitable for both automatic bean-to-cup machines and portafilter machines.

Is Kimbo Espresso Mix suitable for cappuccino?
Yes : distributors say it's made to be mixed with milk. Its body and crema are perfect for a cappuccino or latte macchiato, and it can also be enjoyed as a strong espresso.
Is Espresso Mix suitable for bean-to-cup machines?
Yes : these are whole beans, for the grinder of an automatic machine or a grinder attached to a portafilter machine. For espresso, start with a fine grind and adjust until you reach a flow time of 25 to 30 seconds.
How many cups can you get from 1 kg of Kimbo Espresso Mix?
Approximately 140 espressos with a 7g dose, and 100 to 110 with 9 to 10g, the dose used by a bean-to-cup machine set to a stronger coffee. Using a portafilter, with a double espresso (14 to 18g), expect 55 to 70 cups.
How to store an opened 1kg bag?
Reseal the bag tightly after each use, expelling any air, or transfer the grains to an opaque, airtight container, away from heat and light. Avoid the refrigerator: humidity and odors will damage the grains. A sealed bag will keep until the date printed on it.
