Bristot Classico + Intenso + Cremoso 6 kg pack — a complete introduction to the signature range from Bristot Caffè, the historic Venetian roaster founded in 1919 in Belluno (Veneto, Italy, at the foot of the Dolomites), now part of the Procaffè S.p.A. group. The pack brings together 2 kg of each signature blend to explore Bristot's 3 main expressions.
Positioning of the 3 Bristot blends:
- Classico — a balanced, mild everyday blend, medium roast, with notes of milk chocolate and hazelnut. Suitable for breakfast and all-day service.
- Intenso — a full-bodied signature Venetian blend, darker roast, with notes of bitter cocoa and light tobacco. Suitable for a short espresso after a meal.
- Cremoso — a creamy, rich blend, exceptional crema, with notes of dark chocolate and sweet spices. Suitable for milk-based drinks (cappuccino, latte).
Strategic use in hotels, restaurants and cafés: alternate blends according to the time of day (Classico in the morning, Intenso in the afternoon, Cremoso for milk-based drinks) or your clientele. An excellent discovery pack for an office looking to offer a varied range. Bristot received the Torrefazione dell'Anno 2023-24 award from Guida Camaleonte.

What is the Venetian school of coffee?
The Venetian school is a roasting style from north-eastern Italy, characterised by a balance between sweetness and body. Medium to medium-dark roasting depending on the blend, with blends more refined than those of Naples but more full-bodied than those of Turin. Bristot has been a historic representative since 1919 — a family roaster from Belluno, a town in Veneto at the foot of the Dolomites, now part of the Procaffè S.p.A. group (acquired by Austria's Wedl & Hofmann GmbH in 2000).
How can you use the 3 Bristot blends strategically?
Possible strategies by use:
- Italian restaurant / trattoria — Classico for breakfast, Intenso for coffee after a meal, Cremoso for cappuccino.
- Medium-sized office with 15–40 people — rotate weekly to offer staff variety.
- Hotel breakfast service + lounge — Classico for the morning buffet, Intenso for the lounge in the late afternoon.
- Enthusiast keen to explore the Bristot range — alternate according to your mood or the time of day.
Who is this 6 kg pack for?
For versatile hotels, restaurants and cafés / medium-sized offices that enjoy variety:
- Italian restaurant / trattoria — a varied range for tailored service.
- Office with 15–40 staff — professional bean-to-cup machine, a variety of blends.
- Hotel breakfast service + lounge — all-day service, a choice of blends.
- Enthusiast keen to explore the Bristot range — discover 3 signature blends in one pack.
Should you adjust the grind between the 3 blends?
Yes — each Bristot blend has slightly different extraction characteristics:
- Classico: medium grind (5/10 on a bean-to-cup machine).
- Intenso: fine grind (4/10) to extract its full strength.
- Cremoso: medium-fine grind (5–6/10) to maximise crema.
If you use a single machine without changing the grind, choose a medium grind (5/10) as a compromise — you lose around 10% of each blend's potential, but the results remain very good.
Is Bristot an artisan or industrial roaster?
Bristot is a family roaster in the Italian tradition — over 100 years of history (founded in 1919 in Belluno), now part of the Procaffè S.p.A. group (acquired by Austria's Wedl & Hofmann GmbH in 2000). Its artisanal spirit is preserved: careful selection of green beans, slow roasting in Belluno, and Venetian expertise passed down through the generations. The Torrefazione dell'Anno 2023-24 award from Guida Camaleonte confirms this sustained quality.
