When Hugo and I (Jasper) first tasted these beans, we immediately knew: this is one of our absolute favorites! It reminded me of the rich, creamy coffee you drink at a café – full of flavor and beautifully sweet. A coffee you can enjoy every day without ever getting bored.
These beans are truly an all-rounder! Delicious as an espresso, but also strong enough for a cappuccino. In a latte, the flavor takes a bit of a backseat due to the milk, but it still remains absolutely present. Try these beans with our pink/terracotta cup – the pink tones bring out the sweet notes in your latte even more!
Brewing Tips Cuba
Our basic advice is always 18.5 grams of ground coffee, with a brew time of 25 seconds for 36/37 grams of espresso. From this base, you can experiment to match your taste!
Here’s how we came to this brewing recommendation for our Cuba beans:
- 18.7 grams of coffee
- 22–28 seconds brew time
- 44 grams of espresso
