Kimbo Espresso Napoletano Whole Coffee Beans, Dark Roast, 1kg Bag

Beans smell very nice fresh and strong in the best of ways ..It's a nice change from Lavazza but I feel Lavazza has more body.Nice packaging though wish brands would switch to plastic free already! to avoid VOCS leaching into food.

Quality coffe ! The smoothness and creamy flavour yet strong aroma of a good Coffe !

Nicely surprised, 2 order to be delivers today.Nice strong flavour when brewed in my Mocha Pot. Medium dark roast, not bitter. Good coffee for espresso.

I’m a huge coffee snob and always buy quality Crema beans. My usual brand were unavailable to I tried these and was very pleasantly surprised. They’re a slightly darker roast than I’m used to but the flavour is great, there are subtle cinnamon notes and a decent crema. I found that while I usually take two sugars, with these I needed two and a half. But very nice and highly recommended. Good value for very decent coffee beans.

We absolute love Kimbo coffee and we’re so pleased to be able to order beans on subscription as it saves the bother of trying to find them in shops and means we’re always guaranteed great coffee at home. The 1kg pack size is perfect for a month’s supply for 2 adults with an espresso obsession!This coffee is full of flavour and has a strong full bodied taste. I sometimes find Kimbo ground when made in a Moka pot thick, slightly bitter and strong but we buy the beans and have a bean to cup machine which is perfect. I haven’t tried grinding these beans and using them in the Moka pot yet.Overall highly recommend.

I had no issues with delivery or item itself, the coffee is a little strong for me, but excellent value price/quantity ratio

Your experience will massively depend on how you brew your coffee and what style of drink you make.In espresso form (flat white, 36g double shot) it is extremely tricky to get right. On my machine (Rancilio Silvia v6) I either got a very strong espresso on the upper limit of what I'd drink, or an overkill burnt tasting espresso that left an oily texture in the mouth. Thankfully it only took 2 or 3 extractions to dial it in and the beans remained consistent to the end. Still a bit too punchy for my taste, but not unpleasant.As a cafetiere coffee these beans work extremely well, with an impressively balanced flavour. I'd imagine for this reason the beans would work just as well in most non-espresso forms.If you normally make longer or single shot espresso drinks (like lattes) these beans may be a bit more forgiving. I just find Lavazza red beans much more versatile and they remain my go to off the shelf beans.

I've been brewing my morning cup with Kimbo Crema Intensa for a little while now, and thought it's about time I shared my thoughts. Here’s the lowdown:First off, the flavor is something to talk about. It’s rich, with a nice depth that hits you with a bit of sweetness and a hint of acidity. Honestly, it's been a great companion for my espresso machine, but I've also had a decent pour-over with it. The aroma? Absolutely inviting. Opening the bag is like walking into your favorite coffee shop – that burst of coffee smell that just picks you up.Now, the beans themselves look top-notch. They’re pretty uniform, and I haven’t come across any odd ones that looked under or over-roasted. They're not too oily either, which I’ve read can be a good thing for keeping your coffee maker in better shape.But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. The price tag is a bit on the high side. I get it, quality coffee costs more, but if you’re brewing a few cups a day like me, those bags start to add up. Also, the bag doesn’t reseal, which is a bit of a bummer. I had to find an airtight container to dump the beans into after opening, to keep them from going stale.And a heads up for anyone who likes their coffee on the lighter side – this might be a bit much for you. It’s definitely got a kick to it, which I love, but it might not be everyone’s cup of...coffee.So, wrapping up, would I buy it again? Yes, for those days when I feel like treating myself. It's not my everyday coffee, mainly because of the price, but when I do splurge on a bag, I enjoy every bit of it. If you’re into robust and flavorful coffees and don’t mind spending a bit more, I’d say give Kimbo Crema Intensa a shot.
