Carraro Gran Crema

I’ve been dialing in a 2.2lb bag of these beans for my espresso machine and the 50/50 Arabica-Robusta split gives a thick, syrupy body that clings to the cup. The roast is deep enough to taste chocolatey without any harsh bitterness, even as a double shot.

The crema this blend produces is genuinely thick and golden, just as promised, and the balance between Arabica's smoothness and Robusta's kick is spot-on for my morning latte. I've already gone through half the 2.2lb bag in a week because it's that easy to drink.

Finally, a bag of beans that actually delivers a proper crema — I've been through three other blends this month and none came close to this one's velvety texture. The 2.2lb bag is lasting me a solid few weeks, and the Arabica-Robusta balance is spot-on for my morning latte.
