Coffee beans MELITTA BellaCrema 1 kg — whole bean pack for Caffè Crema

MELITTA BellaCrema whole-bean coffee in a 1 kg pack is formulated for preparing Caffè Crema and similar creamy espresso-style drinks. The beans are roasted and packaged as whole beans to be ground immediately before brewing, offering control over grind size and extraction. This product is intended for use in domestic or small-office environments with automatic bean-to-cup machines, standalone grinders, or manual espresso equipment that accepts freshly ground beans.

Advantages

The blend delivers a balance between crema formation and a smooth cup texture, designed to suit medium-fine to fine grinds typical for crema-style extraction. As whole beans, they retain aroma and flavor until grinding, allowing fresher taste compared with pre-ground coffee. The 1 kg format reduces the need for frequent repurchases and is convenient for households or small offices that prepare multiple servings on a daily basis.

Suitable for

• Automatic bean-to-cup machines that prepare Caffè Crema
• Home grinders and commercial grinders for fresh grinding
• Manual espresso machines when using freshly ground beans
• Small offices or shared kitchens with moderate daily coffee consumption

How to use

Store the bag in a cool, dry place and keep it sealed between uses to preserve freshness. Grind beans to the recommended size for your brewing method immediately before use. For automatic bean-to-cup machines, adjust the grinder setting to a medium-fine grind and follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions for dosing and extraction. For manual espresso machines, use a fine grind and standard espresso dosing, then tamp and extract according to your equipment and taste preferences.

Usage recommendations

For best results, grind only the amount needed for each preparation and experiment with grind size and dose to achieve optimal crema and flavor balance for your specific machine. Use freshly filtered water and clean equipment regularly to maintain consistent extraction.
