Flavor Notes

Caramel, Honey and Vanilla

Grocery store espresso beans often lack the quality of an authentic Italian espresso blend. As a result, you’ll be drinking bitter home espresso and compensating by adding sugar, milk, artificial sweeteners, or flavoring. None of these additives are part of true Italian espresso culture.  

So, what is the right bean blend for genuine Italian espresso?

Our custom espresso bean blend includes 85% zero-defect, organic Arabica beans and 15% strictly high-grown Robusta coffee beans, sourced from mountain plantations in the highlands of Brazil, Honduras, and Vietnam.

Only at altitudes above 2600 meters, do coffee beans grow dense enough to contain more natural sugars for sweeter Italian Espresso. The average density of our espresso beans is >430mg/cm3. For natural sweetness, our espresso beans contain >4% sucrose and >0.5% fructose at minimum.

What is Italian Espresso?

Craving an authentic Italian espresso? Many coffee enthusiasts know the struggle of finding that perfect cup. Supermarket shelves are full of impostors—coffees claiming to be Italian espresso, yet they fall short on delivering that rich, creamy taste and the signature crema.

Imagine the disappointment when what should be a robust, sweet, and velvety espresso turns out to be a bitter, flat, and uninspiring brew. The complexity and tradition behind a true Italian espresso can't be replicated by just any bean off the shelf. It's about the precise blend, roast, and grinds that supermarket options often miss. 

Peak Flavor Coffee steps in right here. With our dedication to the art of Italian espresso, each blend is crafted to honor the legendary cafes of Italy. Our espresso is naturally sweet, mild, and crowned with a luscious crema—a testament to roast freshness and espresso bean quality.

Designed for your espresso machine, our espresso brews the quintessential experience for every Italian coffee drink, be it a frothy cappuccino, a smooth latte, or a robust ristretto. Discover the Peak Flavor Coffee difference, and transform your daily ritual into a moment of pure Italian bliss.

Why Espresso in Italy Tastes Better?

Espresso Crafted for Peak Flavor

With the right coffee, pressure brewing with an espresso machine dissolves and extracts unique and rich flavors unlike any other coffee maker. But only if you use the right coffee beans, roast and grind. Tiny variations in bean blend, roast and grind size may lead to terrible espresso flavor. That's why we craft Italian espresso just for your espresso machine. 

For each espresso order, we select naturally sweet espresso beans. We slow roast in small batches according to an Italian roasting profile for more caramelization. We grind with 98% precision and ship on the day of the roast, so your espresso machine can automatically unlock Peak Flavor for your favorite espresso drink.

Why Italian espresso tastes better?

Anybody who loves espresso can agree that Italian espresso is the quality standard for good coffee world-wide. So, what makes Italian espresso so much better?

  • Naturally Sweet Coffee Beans - Italians use strictly high-grown, specialty beans from the highlands of Brazil, Honduras, and Vietnam. At high elevations, coffee beans grow a little slower but develop more natural sugars such as fructose. At Peak Flavor Coffee, we take our cue from Italian coffee culture and use the same beans.
  • Abundant Espresso Crema – A typical characteristic of good quality Italian espresso is a thick layer of crema, the foam on top of fresh brewed espresso. To get abundant espresso crema, Italians use an espresso bean blend with a small portion of high-quality Robusta beans. Although organic Arabica quality is the main bean type for our Italian espresso blends, we add some Robusta, because Robusta beans are rich in natural coffee oils. Natural coffee oils are the key to getting more espresso crema.
  • Mild & Sweet on the Stomach: Italian espresso is intense but typically quite mild on the stomach. At Peak Flavor, we get mildness by using only Grade-A, zero-defect beans, which our farmers pick when coffee cherries reach peak ripeness. At peak ripeness, acidity in coffee beans is low. Harvesting coffee cherries at peak ripeness provides good espresso intensity, whilst yielding mild espresso. You'll notice when you try!
  • 100% Natural Caramel Taste. We slow roast in small batches according to an Italian roasting profile, specifically for caramelized espresso. The roasting profile yields a (medium) dark roast. More importantly, Italian espresso roasting maximizes the roasting phase during which caramel is formed from natural sugars in coffee beans. As a result, our espresso roast has a rich caramel, vanilla, and honey flavor notes. 100% Natural. Slow, Italian-style roasting takes a little more time, more effort, and a little more cost but is necessary to fully develop the natural sugars in our bean blends. We Love it. I am sure you do too.
  • Precision Grinding for Espresso: We precision grind coffee beans to 300-350 microns with >98% precision, using professional burr grinders. This type of precision grinding is impossible to reach with conventional home coffee grinders. Precision in grinding avoids bitterness from over extraction. It’s one of the secrets of naturally sweet Italian espresso. Say goodbye to bitterness with a precision grind. Precision grinding also allows us to grind an Italian Espresso roast for Cappuccino and Latte (300 Microns) or for Espresso, Macchiato, Ristretto or Americano. Learn more about precision grinding for your favorite coffee drink in below.
  • Fresh Roasted Espresso:We take pride in delivering Italian espresso beans that are freshly roasted to perfection, ensuring that each espresso has abundant crema and is bursting with flavor. We only roast when you order and ship the same day. Expect your mailbox to overflow with that delicious coffee smell, only fresh roasted coffee exudes.
  • Sustainable sourcing: Our farmers cultivate their coffee beans for Peak Flavor on mountain plantations in the highlands of Brazil, Honduras, and Vietnam. Peak flavor coffee farming is organic and sustainable. Top quality beans with the highest density are premium priced and provide our farmers with fair, sustainable incomes. As we sell more coffee, we plant new trees for our farmers, making a humble but meaningful contribution to a greener planet.
  • Environmentally friendly packaging: We minimize packaging whilst preserving roast freshness, so you can enjoy exceptional flavor every time you
    brew. Our packaging is recyclable and made with sustainable materials. Our pack sizes avoid food spoilage whilst keeping coffee fresh.

Precision Grinds for Different Espresso Drinks:

Espresso is the base for some of the most popular coffee drinks, like cappuccino, latte, macchiato, ristretto, and Americano. Each espresso drink has its own recipe. But did you know that each espresso drink requires that you adapt the grind size for optimal taste? Here is a some helpful information about what grind size are best for your favorite coffee drink:

  • Espresso for Cappuccino: We grind to 300 microns with >98% precision to get your espresso machine to dissolve and extract more coffee intensity. As you will be adding milk and milk-foam to make Italian cappuccino, a little extra intensity enables you to have Italian espresso flavor, also after you add the milk.
  • Espresso for Latte: Like Espresso for Cappuccino, we grind Espresso beans for Latte to 300 microns with >98% precision too. Because the amount of milk in a Latte or Latte Macchiato is generally a little more, we advise to always use a double shot of Italian Espresso to make the best Latte.
  • Espresso for Macchiato: Our precision grinds for Macchiato are 350 microns with >98% precision, a little less fine than for cappuccino and latte. Italian Macchiato only requires a dollop. of milk foam on top of the espresso crema. Hence, there is no need to add to the perfect intensity of an Italian espresso.
  • Espresso for Ristretto: Italian Ristretto requires the same precision grind as espresso for latte or cappuccino. In the case of Italian ristretto, however, your espresso machine will automatically adjust to the finer grind by pressure brewing with less water. With a fresh roast, the amount of crema will be as thick as the layer of ristretto underneath.
  • Espresso for Americano: Italian Americano requires the precision grinds of an espresso. When ordering Americano in Italy, expect to get a double espresso, diluted with the same amount of hot water. It’s the Italian version of American filter coffee. It is not uncommon for filter coffee lovers to prefer Italian Americano over their morning drip coffee.
