Expert Review and  Insights

There's a real shift towards coffees with personality, and  Presto’s Espresso Intenso nails it. This isn't a shy, retiring blend; it’s a full-bodied Robusta that stands up brilliantly in milk. It provides that classic Italian espresso punch that’s so often missing, making it a reliable and  impressive workhorse for any busy coffee bar.

  • Powerful Flavour: The dark chocolate notes are distinct and  hold up beautifully in milky drinks.
  • Robusta Focus: Best for espresso; may be too intense for other brewing methods like pour-over.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Daily Grind, a popular cafe in Bristol, wanted to switch to a more robust, ethically sourced bean to differentiate their coffee menu from local competitors.

"Our old beans were fine, but they didn't have that 'wow' factor. Switching to the Presto Espresso Intenso coffee beans 1kg gave our lattes a real backbone. Customers noticed the deeper, chocolatey taste straight away."

Ben Carter – Owner

The result was a significant improvement in customer feedback and  a 15% increase in repeat coffee sales since making the change four months ago.

Getting the Best From Your Beans

Storing for Freshness

  • Always store beans in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and  heat.
  • Once opened, transfer them to an airtight container to lock in the flavour and  aroma.
  • Avoid the fridge or freezer – condensation and  moisture are the enemies of fresh coffee.
  • For peak flavour, aim to use the beans within 2-3 weeks of opening the bag.

Dialling In Your Grind

  • These dark roast beans are perfect for a fine espresso grind.
  • Adjust your grinder settings to achieve a 25-30 second extraction time for a balanced shot.
  • Clean your grinder's burrs regularly to prevent old, stale grounds tainting the fresh flavour.
  • A consistent grind is key, so check your machine's calibration if shots become inconsistent.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Coffee Beans

Overwhelmed by choice? Here’s a quick guide to finding the perfect beans for your business.

Roast Profile

Light roasts are typically more acidic and  fruity. Dark roasts, like this Presto Espresso Intenso, are bold, rich, and  ideal for classic espresso drinks that need to stand up to milk.

Arabica vs. Robusta

Arabica is known for being smoother and  sweeter with higher acidity. Robusta, as found in Presto Intenso, has more caffeine and  that powerful, deep 'coffee' flavour.

Blend or Single Origin?

Blends are created by roasters for a specific, balanced flavour profile. Single origins, like these, showcase the unique character and  taste of one specific geographical region.

Look for Certifications

Seals like Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade show a commitment to ethical and  sustainable farming. This is a huge plus for many modern consumers and  reflects well on your business.

Match Beans to Your Menu

If you sell a lot of lattes and  cappuccinos, a strong Robusta or dark roast is essential as its powerful flavour won't get lost in the milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these beans oily?

A: As a classic dark roast, they have a slight sheen which is perfectly normal and  helps to produce a beautifully rich crema. They are suitable for almost all commercial grinders.

Q: What is the best way to brew these beans?

A: They are roasted specifically for traditional espresso machines but also perform exceptionally well in bean-to-cup machines and  Moka pots for a strong, satisfying coffee.

Q: Is this 100% Robusta?

A: Yes, these are single-origin 100% Robusta beans, which gives them their characteristically bold flavour, low acidity, and  higher caffeine content.

Q: What does 'single origin' actually mean?

A: It means all the coffee beans in this bag come from the same farm or geographical region, providing a very consistent and  distinct flavour profile that isn't blended with other beans.

Q: How should I store the beans once the bag is open?

A: For maximum freshness, we strongly recommend transferring them to an airtight container and  keeping them in a cool, dark cupboard away from moisture and  heat.

Q: Are these pre-ground or whole beans?

A: These are Presto Intenso whole coffee beans. This allows you to grind them fresh for every single brew, which is the best way to preserve their flavour and  aroma.

Q: What do the flavour notes of 'treacle and  dark chocolate' taste like?

A: You can expect a deep, rich sweetness, similar to molasses, which is perfectly balanced by the pleasant, slightly bitter notes of high-quality dark chocolate.

Q: Is the packaging really 100% recyclable?

A: Yes. Presto is a certified B Corp, and  a core part of their mission is sustainability, so all their coffee bags are designed to be fully recyclable in the UK.
