Caffè Vergnano 1882 Blend Original - Coffee Beans 2.5kg

The house blend in a catering bag. Central and South American Arabica with Central African beans, lifted by Indian Robusta for a high, persistent crema — the gentlest thing Vergnano make at this scale, and the one that suits a venue serving all day.

An espresso blend for volume. It is deliberately mild, so it will not tire a customer who drinks three in a shift, and it stays sweet under milk. At 2.5 kg it is sized for a hopper rather than a kitchen cupboard — decant only what the grinder will use in a week.

Roasted in Santena, just outside Turin, by a family that has made coffee since 1882. The roastery is deliberately slow about it — cycles of fifteen to eighteen minutes at 180–200°C rather than an industrial turbo roast — and each origin goes through the drum on its own, blended only afterwards so each keeps its own character. Two and a half kilograms of whole bean, for venues. Keep the bag sealed, cool and away from daylight; once open, use within a month while the crema still holds.
