If you like your coffee strong enough to get you out of bed whether you want to or not, Vesuvio is the one.
Made in Naples by Passalacqua, Vesuvio is a proper big, bold Italian coffee with loads of body, a thick crema and that unmistakable dark-roasted Neapolitan character. It’s rich, intense and powerful, with plenty of dark chocolate and toasted flavours.
Basically, it’s rocket fuel. Not in a horrible, bitter, spoon-standing-up-in-it sort of way, but in a “right, I’m awake now” sort of way. It makes a cracking espresso and is particularly good with milk, where all that strength means you can still actually taste the coffee.
Passalacqua have been roasting coffee in Naples since 1948 and Vesuvio feels appropriately named: big, dark, powerful and from the shadow of a volcano. What more do you want?
1kg bag of whole coffee beans. Ideal for espresso machines, bean-to-cup machines or grinding at home.
