Café Crema & Beans for Bean-to-Cup Machines
Coffee beans for bean-to-cup machines and café crema: this category gathers coffees made for everyday drinking. They are roasted medium to medium-dark, low in acidity and chocolatey-nutty, so they produce a round, full-bodied café crema with a fine crema in a bean-to-cup machine and work just as well for espresso and milk drinks.

Note — Espresso Blend Brazil & India
Nougat, hazelnut, roasted nuts, cocoa · Medium
€8.50* €34.00 / 1 kgOur blends combine Brazilian Arabica with Indian Robusta. The Arabica contributes sweetness and nutty aromas, the Robusta body, crema and a little more caffeine. Alongside them sits Bella Giana, a pure Brazil with notes of chocolate, cream and honey that pairs especially well with milk. Since none of these coffees is roasted very dark, they are kind to the grinders of bean-to-cup machines.
All coffees are available as whole beans or ground; for bean-to-cup machines we always recommend whole beans. We roast in small batches in Kreuzau, and shipping within Germany is free on orders over €39.
Frequently asked questions
What is café crema?
Café crema is a longer coffee brewed under pressure like an espresso, but with more water and a slightly coarser grind. The result is a larger, milder cup with a fine crema, the classic drink from a bean-to-cup machine.
Which beans suit a bean-to-cup machine?
Medium to medium-dark roasts without an oily sheen are ideal. They give a balanced flavour and are gentle on the grinder.
How do I adjust the grind on a bean-to-cup machine?
Change the grind in small steps and, on most machines, only while the grinder is running. If the coffee runs through too fast and tastes thin, grind finer. The effect usually only shows after two or three cups.
