Traditional Coffee - Superior
Score < 80
Traditional Coffee: These are the most widespread coffees in the various distribution channels in France, both private and professional.
Superior Coffee: These are coffees that contain no more than 20% Robusta, whose country of origin we know and/or which have a label (organic farming, fair trade, etc.)
The higher the rating, the more surprising your coffee tasting experience will be.
A Balanced Arabica/Robusta Blend
Caffè Vergnano introduces Antica Bottega, an iconic coffee beans blend from the renowned Italian brand.
Here you’ll find everything that made it such a success:
- a coffee crafted from the finest origins: discover a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans from Central and South America, as well as the Dominican Republic.
- a very dark roast: a roasting style perfectly suited to both espressos and milk-based drinks.
- roasted in Italy: Caffè Vergnano roasts its own coffee beans in Turin, following a meticulous method tailored to each origin. Here, a slow roasting process is used, lasting between 18 and 22 minutes.
- an unforgettable tasting experience: before delighting the palate, it pleases the eye. A beautiful crema appears just minutes after extraction, crowning your cup. Antica Bottega contains, among others, Arabica beans, which is reflected in the tasting with a gentle, lightly tangy opening, followed by the discovery of a coffee with a full body and rounded mouthfeel. The intensity is well balanced, aromas are ever-present, and the finish is delightfully chocolatey.
We recommend enjoying it in the afternoon.
Caffè Vergnano, A Long Coffee Story
This Italian house has been creating coffee for four generations. With 135 years of history, it has become a true reference in the world of coffee. Founded in a small Italian grocery shop, the brand quickly mastered every step of the journey, from roasting to coffee sales.
Success soon followed, but the brand reached a turning point when it acquired a plantation in Kenya. This is why it pays such close attention to the selection of its origins and continues to establish itself as one of the most sought-after producers.
At a time when so-called “turbo” roasting is often favoured, Caffè Vergnano chooses slow roasting to truly highlight each bean’s origin. Across the brand’s range—from coffee beans to ground coffee and capsules—you’ll find quality labels that guarantee both excellence and peace of mind.
Caffè Vergnano is a company that boasts a long and prestigious history.
The company was founded way back in 1882 by Domenico Vergnano, grandfather of the current owners, who set up business in the small medieval town of Chieri, at the foot of Turin Hill.
The true vocation of the Vergnano family became apparent very quickly: in just a few years they mastered the art of coffee-roasting and selling.
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
