Which coffee for coffee cocktails?
Depending on which recipe you try, you can use different coffees. For the cold brew recipes, we recommend 100% Arabica blends – whether you prefer a typical flavor or experiment with fruity coffees is entirely up to you. For recipes with espresso, you can also use Arabica Robusta blends – here the coffee comes through even stronger. Here are our recommendations for coffee cocktails:
Espresso Giuseppe Caffè Gemelli
Vom Checker geprüft – Das ist unser Fazit:
Espresso Giuseppe von Caffè Gemelli ist ein typischer, italienischer Espresso mit komplexer Säure und ausgewogener Bitterkeit. Diese Eigenschaften ergeben nicht nur einen intensiven, vollmundigen Espresso, sondern auch einen kräftigen Verlängerten. Im Siebträger entfaltet Giuseppe seine ausgewogenen, dunklen Aromen nach feiner Schokolade und einem Hauch Limette.
Nice to know
„Giuseppe“ ist das italienische Pendant zu Josef – einem der Gründer von Caffè Gemelli.
Espresso Biologico Caffè Gemelli
Vom Checker geprüft – Das ist unser Fazit:
Der kräftige Bio-Kaffee von Caffè Gemelli ist mit seiner strahlenden Säure und ausgewogenen Bitternoten eine resche Abwechslung für Espresso-Trinker. Das komplex-fruchtige Aroma nach süßen Brombeeren von Biologico kommt als Espresso gut zur Geltung.
So feel free to be creative and try out different combinations – you can give the recipes your own touch with the coffee you use. Enjoy and don’t forget: Drink responsibly!
