- Whole Beans – perfect if you are grinding your own beans at home or in a cafe/restaurant.
- Plunger – perfect for plungers, stove top espressos (macchinetta), dripolaters, etc, but NOT espresso machines.
- Espresso – perfect for home-style espresso machines and can be used in any other method listed for Plunger.
- Our B99 blend has your normal dose of caffeine for an espresso blend.
- Our B70 is by far the most popular style with 70 per cent of the normal dose of caffeine in an espresso blend (in other words, 30 per cent less than usual – you won’t even miss it).
- Our B30 has just 30 per cent the caffeine found in espresso blends (in other words, 70 per cent less than usual).
- Our B01 has just 1 per cent the caffeine found in espresso blends making it our very own “decaf” (there is a trace of caffeine because the Swiss Water Method is not aggressive like the chemical method other producers sometimes use to decaffeinate coffee – you can drink ours with confidence).
B70
Choose the B70 Benchmark Blend if you want all the body and flavour of a full espresso blend AND you also want to reduce your caffeine intake a little. This has to be our most popular style probably because you don’t even know you are reducing your caffeine. All you experience is rich, gutsy espresso. Ahhhh, I can smell that aroma right now!|
