Included in this set are 3 doses Ground 100% Arabica. Unfortunately, the test set arrived with 2 strong dented cans. Too bad, if any are found, the empty cans more domestic use. But but no deduction. The cans are simply kept classy and all the basic information of the product. Manufacturer of the ground 100% Arabica is the me hitherto unknown roasting J. Hornig from Austria. (So stehts halt on the can) Despite damage to the can of espresso is perfectly undamaged vacuum sealed with a known aluminum foil. After opening the flowing one a mild malty "coffee aroma" counter. For a 100% Arabica an untypical for me bright color, sometimes even reminiscent of cocoa. The bean is ground very finely. Rough Mahlreste as sometimes usual, absolutely undetectable. The taste test was then carried out in a Bialetta Brikka Cremoso (aluminum pot) and in a portafilter-Poccino Stretta de Luxe. In both devices have unusual for an espresso Mild is paramount. Here is the Dark Blend Ristretto one of the mildest I have ever drunk. The taste is slightly malty, almost with a hint of sweetness and a little flowery in both machines. A true appetisers so and with excellent compatibility. Logically developed roasting only in the portafilter a dense thick crema. Also the taste it tastes a little rounder from the portafilter.
Conclusion: If you want to so time a special treat is well advised with this roasting J. Hornig. Certainly also a very good gift for a espresso drinker. For a cappuccino, I would certainly not recommend it. Firstly, it is to my view too expensive (but you must decide for yourself), on the other hand he is due to its gentleness in my view under absolute and not come into its own. A pity, especially for the price. And that's about the asterisk that I may depart. At about 30 / kg this roasting is absolutely already at the top of the premier league. Sometimes there's that even when domestic Kaffer Austria (which there's even now almost in every city) clearly cheaper and sometimes in the same quality. In my personal view, I think the price for thus "something" excessive. But even that ...... taste and a question of the household budget. From the quality and especially the taste and tolerability ago but an absolute recommendation! One should also sometimes treat ourselves ..... Maybe this will help in deciding then the price savings Reduced subscription from Amazon.
