About this Product
Buy Continental coffee in a freshly roasted 1kg pack of whole coffee beans. Grind them to suit your equipment, from coarse cafetière coffee (French press) to fine espresso.
If you enjoy Italian style coffees, this continental coffee blend is a satisfying choice for everyday brewing. Its level 4 roast offers a rich, full-bodied cup with a smooth, rounded character.
The aroma brings together warm nutty notes, cocoa and a touch of mild spice. Chocolate and nut flavours follow, softened by gentle caramel sweetness. A creamy texture carries the cup through to a lingering nutty cocoa finish.
Enjoy Continental Blend as an aromatic espresso, a bold americano or a comforting latte. Its substantial body makes it an inviting choice with milk, while a freshly brewed black coffee lets the chocolate and roasted nut character shine.
The Continental Coffee Blend Backstory
Continental Blend takes its cue from the pleasures of café life: the welcoming aroma at the counter and a freshly made coffee waiting to be enjoyed. It brings that relaxed continental character to your own kitchen, one cup at a time.
For those who love Italian coffee, that familiar café moment can begin at home. A small espresso offers a concentrated taste of the blend, while a moka pot fills the kitchen with the aroma of brewing coffee. Add warm milk when you feel like a softer, more leisurely cup.
A 1kg bag keeps your favourite blend ready for a fresh pot to share or a single cup after lunch. Grind only what you need, choose the brewing method you enjoy most, and make a little space in the day for a satisfying continental coffee.
Additional Information About Continental Blend Coffee Beans
Brewing Continental Blend Coffee Beans
Grind these whole beans just before brewing to prepare fresh continental ground coffee at home. This pack contains 1kg coffee beans, so you can choose a different grind for each brewer and enjoy every cup your way.
- Espresso Coffee: Finely grind the Continental Blend coffee beans and adjust the dose and extraction to suit your machine. Enjoy a concentrated espresso or add steamed milk for a latte, cappuccino or cortado.
- Moka Pot Coffee: Grind the coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency suited to your moka pot. Fill the basket loosely, without tamping, and brew over gentle heat for a rich, concentrated cup.
- French Press Coffee: Grind the coffee beans coarsely for a cafetière. Allow the coffee to steep, then press slowly and pour, enjoying a fuller texture that complements the blend’s rounded body.
- Cold Brew Coffee: Steep coarsely ground Continental coffee in cold water in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours, then filter. Serve over ice and add water or milk to reach your preferred strength.
- Chemex Coffee: Use a medium-coarse grind and a Chemex paper filter. The clean, lighter texture of the finished cup offers another way to explore the blend’s chocolate and caramel notes.
- Pour Over Coffee: Begin with a medium grind of the Continental Blend coffee beans. Wet the grounds evenly, then pour steadily. Adjust the grind to suit your brewer and taste.
- Filter Machine Coffee: Choose a medium grind and follow your machine’s coffee-to-water guidance. Brew a fresh pot for an easy everyday cup, then serve promptly to enjoy its warm aroma.
- AeroPress Coffee: Start with a medium-fine grind and press gently. Experiment with brewing time and dilution to find the balance of richness and sweetness that suits you.
- Stovetop Coffee: For a stovetop moka brewer, use a suitable medium-fine grind and steady, gentle heat. Remove the pot when brewing finishes to keep the cup smooth and aromatic.
- Percolator Coffee: Use a coarse grind and follow your brewer’s instructions. Keep the brewing cycle controlled and avoid extended heating, which can make the roast notes overpower the blend’s sweetness.
