Why caffè di FORMA?

An espresso does not happen by chance. The selection of beans, the roasting, and the freshness determine how balanced, aromatic, and creamy an espresso tastes.

While many coffees are stored for long periods, we roast our beans in Italy and only offer them for sale once they have developed their full aroma. The result is an espresso with an intense flavor, a pleasant balance, and a crema like the ones you know from Italian espresso bars.

An espresso that leaves a lasting impression.

Some espressos are bold. Others are particularly mild. Extra Bar Espresso combines both into a harmonious whole.

From the very first sip, intensive notes of cocoa, roasted hazelnut, and caramel unfold, accompanied by delicate floral nuances. The result is a full-bodied espresso with a thick crema and a pleasantly long finish – balanced, full of character, and typically Italian.

Low acidity. Plenty of character.

A good espresso doesn't need intrusive acidity to impress. The traditional Italian roast creates a round, powerful taste with a pleasant balance. This allows the natural aromas of the beans to shine in perfect harmony – cup after cup.

Why 50% Arabica and 50% Robusta?

For us, an exceptional espresso is created when two characters perfectly complement each other.

Arabica lends elegance, delicate sweetness, and complex aromas.

Robusta provides body, intensity, and the dense crema that distinguishes an Italian espresso.

Together, they form a balanced composition that is impressive whether enjoyed pure as an espresso or in a cappuccino, flat white, or latte macchiato.
