You want to know what you're buying before you pick up the coffee

The taste of espresso is not only determined by your machine and grind size. The roast, flavour profile, grind type, and roast date also play an important role. Aficionado is sold exclusively as whole coffee beans and is therefore intended for a coffee grinder or machine that grinds the beans itself. The roast date is stated on every package. For pickup, a bag is valid for a maximum of two months after this date. This allows you to check for yourself when the coffee was roasted. The Dark Roast has a full, syrupy body with chocolate notes and a slightly sweet finish. This makes Aficionado particularly suitable for home baristas who brew a strong espresso or regularly make cappuccino, latte, and other milk-based drinks.

You know beforehand which coffee you are buying, when it was roasted, and when you can pick it up.

Check if Aficionado is right for you

Aficionado consists of whole coffee beans. Therefore, you will need a separate coffee grinder, a fully automatic machine, or another machine that grinds whole beans. The Dark Roast has a powerful and full flavour, with a syrupy body, chocolate notes, and a slightly sweet finish. This is particularly suitable for espresso, ristretto, americano, and milk drinks such as cappuccino, latte, cortado, and flat white. If you are looking for pre-ground coffee or a light, distinctly fruity filter coffee, Aficionado may not be the best fit for your preference.
