BARISTA CREATIONS Chiaro has hardly a hint of roastiness, and almost no bitterness or acidity you can perceive. It’s all creamy caramel and sweet biscuit notes when you add milk. The baristas in Brooklyn inspired us in the way their light roast values the natural sweetness of coffee and lends a decadent smoothness to the cup when you add milk. We love it as a Cappuccino, but go ahead and get creative – Chiaro is great as Latte Macchiato too – with cow milk or your favourite plant-based alternative: oat milk, coconut milk or soya milk.

We took our inspiration from the baristas in Melbourne – they are the masters of robust, but exquisitely balanced tastes – their roasting and blending lend an aromatic power poised as the yin to the yang of milk. Our BARISTA CREATIONS Scuro shows you how intense your coffee can get while still staying beautifully in balance with milk. It’s just roasty enough to push through milk, and its delicate sweetness tempers its intensity to make it a compelling intense Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. Taste it with cow milk or your favorite plant-based milk alternative: oat milk, coconut milk or soya milk.

For BARISTA CREATIONS Corto taste we took our inspiration from the dark roasts and thick textures created by the expert baristas in Spain, that is why it is easily recognizable by its raw strength and intense, roasty character. Corto can punch through milk with its rich aftertaste, elegant bitterness, and a thick, textured body. With a dash of hot milk and milk froth crowning the cup, you’ll experience Corto in the traditional cortado recipe’s way. When you add milk, its sweetness softens the bitter note the way the moon lightens a dark night. Taste it with cow milk or with your favorite plant-based milk alternative: oat milk will be a perfect pair.

The fragrance wafting out of Rome’s traditional coffee bars is a testament to a rich history of contrasts: popular tastes, tempered by the capital’s elegance. This complexity is mirrored in a subtle roast, balancing intensity and finesse and deep flavor spiked with hints of acidity.

From the streets of Naples, the local deep-rooted coffee ritual inspired our dark roasting method, which masterfully developed the coffee to an intense degree. Leavened with Robusta, the result is a velvety, creamy cup with an extremely thick body and a pleasant, bitter aftertaste. A tribute to the roasting proficiency of the Italian capital of coffee.

Palermo inspired our long, dark roasting style plus a high Robusta content: hallmarks of this Southern city. At a crossroads of influence from African and Arab traditions, multicultural Palermo made us dream. The result is an exceptionally intense, syrupy, woody and spicy coffee, crowned with very dark, thick crema.

World Explorations Shanghai Lungo is a smooth, fruity blend of Arabicas from four distinct origins that represent the diverse taste of a modern city like Shanghai. Trendy and forward-facing, the emerging coffee taste in the city is ever evolving and you are as apt to find an intense blend as you are a milder, smoother cup in the city’s high-end coffee shops.

World Explorations Tokyo Vivalto Lungo captures the heart of the Japanese coffee tradition marked by purity, simplicity, and elegance. Their traditional long black cup is an aromatic invitation to pause and savour the coffee’s delicious complexity and refined taste.

World Exploration Cape Town Lungo honours South African affinity for intense coffee blends shaped by their coffee trade route history. Being a stopping point on the old trade routes of Asian coffees, Cape Town saw its taste shaped by the shipments of Robusta and Indian Arabicas that travelled through.

World Explorations Vienna Lungo recreates the balanced and pleasant Viennese taste, inspired by the country’s centuries-long coffeehouse tradition with its lavish establishments and suited-up waiters.

World Explorations Istanbul Espresso takes you back in time to the original coffeehouses. This intense ambrosial brew bursts with boldness, wild ripe fruits, and a delicate almond touch.

It’s a blend as cosmopolitan as the crowd gathered in an Istanbul coffeehouse.

When you’re the biggest global producer of coffee, you take pride in your product. World Explorations Rio de Janeiro Espresso is our experts’ creative interpretation of the Brazilian cafezinho, an all-Brazilian Arabica blend honouring the heritage. 

Master Origin Colombia with Late Harvest Arabica is both a smooth coffee and a fruity coffee. You’ll taste all the winey red fruit notes of blackcurrant and cranberry that surface when you wait. A bright acidity makes this a vivacious coffee. And it’s in smooth balance with those seductive aromatics.

Master Origin India with Robusta Monsoon owes its wild taste to the unique monsooning process. When the coffee beans spend months face to the wind, they develop a distinct woody, savory, spicy taste - as thick and lingering as sea mist. A powerful cup. Using Robusta along with the Arabica coffee really gives it that heavy, syrupy body. 

If Black Honey processing were the easy road to a nectarous coffee, they’d all do it. But only a few farmers dare. It’s a rare process because it calls for meticulous monitoring. Master Origin Nicaragua with ‘Black-Honey’ processed Arabica contains this coffee. It gives this Nicaraguan Arabica its smooth honeyed texture and sweet cereal notes.

Master Origin Indonesia with wet-hulled Arabica is a race against rain. Sumatran farmers wet-hull their coffee because of the humid climate. They remove the parchment when the coffee is soft and moist because exposed beans dry faster. The method is unique to them and produces the classic Indonesian taste - velvety thick, wildly aromatic, notes of cured tobacco.

Capriccio is a deep and surprisingly refreshing espresso coffee. Can you see the light acidity and fine aromatics dancing through the savoury cereal notes? You’ll love Capriccio’s ability to astonish and delight.

In the cup, you’ll taste that delicate and balanced pairing of fruity flavours on lightly toasted cereal notes. Cosi’s low in bitterness, roastiness and body - it’s all about the classic aromatics and harmonious balance.
