Espresso Beans – Freshly Roasted

Espresso beans from our roastery in Kreuzau: here you will find coffees that show their full strength in a portafilter machine, a bean-to-cup machine or a moka pot. For espresso we usually roast medium to medium-dark, which develops sweetness, body and a stable crema without the coffee tasting bitter or burnt.

Filter products

The range runs from chocolatey Brazils and dense Indian coffees to fruitier single origins from Colombia and Guatemala, as well as our espresso blends with a share of Robusta for extra crema. If you like it uncompromisingly strong, our pure Indian Robusta delivers an Italian-style espresso. Each product page shows origin, roast level and tasting notes, so you can choose whether you drink yours straight, with milk or from a bean-to-cup machine.

Lighter espressos taste fruitier and livelier, darker ones more chocolatey and robust, especially with milk. All espresso beans come whole or finely ground for your portafilter. We roast in small batches, and shipping within Germany is free on orders over €39.

Frequently asked questions

Which espresso beans suit a portafilter machine?

Medium to medium-dark roasts are especially forgiving in a portafilter. A good starting point is 18 g of coffee for about 36 g of espresso in 25 to 30 seconds at around 93 °C.

Can I use espresso beans in a bean-to-cup machine?

Yes. Just avoid beans with an oily sheen, as very dark, oily roasts can clog the grinder. Our medium and medium-dark roasts are well suited.

What is the difference between Arabica and Robusta?

Arabica is more aromatic and has more acidity, while Robusta contains more caffeine, tastes stronger and forms a denser crema. In blends the two complement each other: sweetness and aroma from the Arabica, body and crema from the Robusta.
