Julius Meinl Crema Espresso Classico – Medium Roast Coffee Beans, 1kg / 35oz

Crema Espresso Classico: A premium blend for everyday excellence

From Julius Meinl, a name tied to Viennese coffeehouse culture since 1862, Crema Espresso Classico blends select Arabica and Robusta beans with a medium roast. This combination is crafted to deliver a defined, inviting aroma and a lasting crema, creating a balanced, full-bodied cup that performs well as both a bold espresso and a versatile drip coffee. With a roast level at 3 out of 5, the beans strike a thoughtful balance between sweetness and depth, making them suitable for a range of brewing styles.

What makes this blend stand out

Expect a potent aroma that signals character and depth, paired with a rich crema that clings to the cup. The flavor is creamy and balanced, with a persistent chocolate-like undertone that slowly reveals itself as you sip. The result is a beverage that feels substantial without overpowering acidity, inviting room for milk or alternative twists.

• Intense but balanced aroma sets the stage for a satisfying cup.
• Crema is rich and persistent, adding texture to each shot.
• Flavor blends creaminess with a chocolatey finish for versatility.

Brewing ideas and real-life use cases

Whether you start your day with a double espresso or enjoy a filtered cup later, this blend adapts well. Typical guidance suggests about 15 g of beans for a double shot, while filter-friendly methods can also reveal the blend’s smoother side. A 1 kg bag yields roughly 66 double espressos, though results depend on grind and method.

Packaging, freshness, and sustainability

The beans arrive in state-of-the-art, recyclable packaging that is nitrogen-flushed and sealed with a one-way valve to maintain freshness. The aim is to preserve flavor for an extended period, with very low oxygen levels inside the bag. Julius Meinl is celebrated as a steward of UNESCO Viennese coffeehouse culture since 1862, and the company highlights social responsibility through Fair Trade, Kosher certification, the 4 C Association, and Rainforest Alliance programs.

Heritage, storage, and care tips

Store unopened in a cool, dark place and once opened, transfer to an airtight container to keep aroma intact. For best results, grind just before brewing and adjust grind size to suit your preferred method.
