Caffè Vergnano 1882 Espresso Crema 800 Coffee Beans 1kg

An everyday espresso built for consistency rather than drama. Forgiving of grind and dose, stable across a busy service, and sweet enough to hold up in milk — which is why it suits a machine used by several different hands.

Ground for espresso it pulls a dense, low-acid shot with a lasting crema; the body carries milk without vanishing, so it works for cappuccino and flat white as readily as straight. In a moka pot use a slightly coarser grind and take it off the heat early.

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. One kilogram of whole bean. Keep the bag sealed, cool and away from daylight; once open, use within a month while the crema still holds.
