The Cafferia Portofino

La Cafferia Portofino coffee beans have a soft, delicate, and aromatic flavour, with distinct dark chocolate notes and a roasted finish. It is a premium blend with a high Arabica content, specifically designed to excel as both moka (percolator) and espresso, producing a fine, velvety crema.

Here are the specific characteristics:

Flavour Profile: Aromatic and smooth, with hints of dark chocolate and a clean, roasted finish.

Intensity: Rather medium/balanced than "super dark and bitter"; made as an all-day coffee.

Aftertaste / Crema: Roasted aftertaste with a very fine-textured crema; acidity remains pleasantly low.

Blend: 90% Arabica / 10% Robusta (for aroma + body/crema).

Origin: Arabica from Central America.

Roasting: Second-crack roasting to reduce acidity and impart that roasted aftertaste.

Suitable for: Especially moka pot and espresso, but due to its soft profile, also good as a lungo.

In short: Portofino is a smooth, elegant "chocolate-espresso" with low acidity and a very fine crema—ideal if you're looking for something soft yet flavourful.
