  • Little Flower - India

  • Orang Utan - Sumatra

  • Espresso of the month

With this espresso, you can bring the taste of your last Italian holiday home. This Arabica bean comes across clear and subtle with a powerful punch of dark chocolate.

The Endless Summer Espresso comes from Costa Rica. Darker roasted, it is optimally suited for preparation in a fully automatic machine. In the cup, it develops warm and strong cocoa nuances.

This coffee from India is particularly gently roasted and therefore very low in acidity. Nevertheless, it has a strong, full body.

Our Orang Utan Espresso with flavours of hazelnut and chocolate comes from an environmental project to preserve the rainforest in Sumatra. Nutty with a strong body.

Every month, our roasters select a new espresso for you that stands out due to its special characteristics. Be curious about the world of specialty coffees!

What is specialty Coffee?

According to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), coffee that scores 80 points or more on a 100-point scale is classified as a specialty. The CQI (Coffee Quality Institute) works hand in hand with the SCA.

The requirement to reach 80 points is always assessed according to taste quality. The better it tastes, the better the score. Coffee with a score of 80 has no flavour defects (defect free, gummy, medicinal, ashy) and must be sweet. At 19grams, we deal exclusively in Specialty Coffee and want to help you understand coffee better.
