Knowing what coffee is all about, the pursuit of excellence,
the art of blending and roasting. This has been our culture,
since way back in 1919.
OUR
COFFEE
Sensorial
Espresso is made from a blend of several types of coffee. Italian espresso, by definition and by tradition, is obtained from a skilful blend of coffees with different origins, indispensable to achieve that rich, characteristic aroma and velvety consistency for which it is renowned.
The perfect espresso is a feast for the eyes, with the creamy head ranging from hazelnut to dark brown with reddish tinges. Its intense aroma presents distinct notes of flowers, fruit, toasted bread and chocolate, while its full-flavoured taste is round and velvety, with a perfect balance of acid and bitter; sour notes should be practically absent. The overall sensory perceptions generated by coffee-based drinks are divided up into four categories: sight, smell, taste and touch. Espresso: a gift for the senses.
Caffè Bristot & Rainforest alliance
Caffè Bristot is always very mindful of its social and environmental responsibilities. Eco-sustainable and fair trade products are a must. Along with Rainforest Alliance, we have today a new blend, Brasilian and Central America coffees, grown on Rainforest Alliance Certified TM farms.
Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM plantations undertake to comply with current standards for the conservation of natural resources and respect of workers’ rights.
New fresh pack
Research and continuous innovation brought us to a new packaging tecnology. Our exclusive blends now come in exclusive “fresh packs” with oneway valves, instead of being vacuum packed.They offer guaranteed freshness for 24 months, while also allowing the coffee to mature in a modified atmosphere, where the aromas develop and evolve, just like wine in a barrel.
The Art of coffee
Every cup of coffee has a tale to tell. An intriguing tale that begins with the growing and picking of coffee beans in very diverse countries and parts of the world. From these countries the coffee then travels in order to continue the saga of how it is blended, roasted, and ground. These procedures are the fruits of craft traditions that are handed on from generation to generation and that have contributed to the creation of a veritable cult of coffee.
Espresso is coffee that is made “expressly for you”, quickly and individually. This method of coffee preparation was created in order to find a remedy for the slowness of other methods and the consequent loss of the infusion’s aroma when already hot and before being drunk, speeding up the passage of the water through the dose of round coffee by means of greater pressure.It is an extraordinary drink, a marvel of chemical and physical engineering, aromatic, of a full and velvety flavour: aromatic because the emulsion given by the pressure of the oils present in the coffee frees the aroma which dissolves in the hot water, trys to escape, but is immediately trapped by the cream. Velvety because the sugar, protein and fats emulsified together.
