Espresso Black Velvet

Black velvet – Premium espresso blend with Italian inspiration

Αν προτιμάς τον δυνατό espresso με πλούσια γεύση και σταθερή κρέμα, το Black Velvet είναι για εσένα. Εμπνευσμένο από την ιταλική σχολή καβουρδίσματος, προσφέρει ένταση, διάρκεια και αυθεντική απόλαυση σε κάθε φλιτζάνι.

Με σκούρο καβούρδισμα και επιλεγμένους κόκκους από Βραζιλία, Κολομβία και Ινδία, ο Black Velvet έχει γεμάτο σώμα, πλούσιο άρωμα και σοκολατένια επίγευση που διαρκεί. Συνδυάζει τον ιταλικό χαρακτήρα του espresso με την εμπειρία τριών γενεών του καφεκοπτείου Ριζόπουλος.

A blend that stands out

Black Velvet was crafted with a focus on flavor and consistency. It includes:

Arabica from Brazil – with a full body, low acidity, and notes of chocolate and nuts.
Arabica from Colombia – adding aromatic depth with notes of caramel and ripe fruit.
Robusta from India – for intensity, rich crema, and a long aftertaste with earthy character.

This combination creates an espresso with character: strong, full-bodied, and consistent in every cup.

GOOD TO KNOW

All our coffees are freshly roasted and ground daily for you to savor their utmost freshness.
They are meticulously packaged in hermetically sealed containers to ensure the preservation of their unrivaled aroma and rich flavors.
After opening, store them in an airtight jar, avoiding areas with humidity (such as the refrigerator).

Flavor & aroma

The flavor is reminiscent of dark chocolate, with a subtle bitterness and notes of roasted spices. The texture is full and velvety, with a character that stays with you.

The aroma is deep and warm, with hints of cocoa, nuts, and light caramel.

⚠️ WARNING – THIS COFFEE IS INTENSE ⚠️

If you prefer a mild, sweet coffee without intensity, then this blend is NOT for you. But if you love espresso the way they drink it in Italy, then yes.

When we were developing this blend, we wanted to create something that could hold its own against Italian standards. It was tested in moka pots (Bialetti) and espresso machines by people who drink coffee daily in Italy. Their feedback was clear: “This espresso tastes like home."
