Moka Coffee & Tonic - Summer 2021

Oldie but goldie ;-) and it's still our favourite summer drink.

In case you don't own an espresso machine, you can prepare a specialty coffee & tonic with a moka pot/stovetop espresso maker. For this the recipe we used our Indonesia Frinsa Collective Anaerobic to give that chocolaty twist we all love ❤ Enjoy folks!

Want to to know more about how to make a proper moka pot coffee?

check our guide The complete moka pot extraction guide

Tip: Remember that you can also buy already ground (for moka) coffee from our website.

A new super limited lot - Finca Potosì Pink Bourbon Natural Anaerobic

A rare opportunity to taste a limited availability nanolot.

We have a new coffee from the Granja La Esperanza farm in the house! This one is a magnificent nanolot from their Potosì farm and is of Pink Bourbon only.

In the cup:

A funky lot indeed, with lovely notes of tropical fruit, sultanas, strawberry compote. Dense body, balanced tartaric acidity, and dark chocolate after taste.

Great teamwork pays off. Grazie!

Matteo got an incredible, but well deserved, 2nd place at the Italian Brewers Championship, at his first attempt.

We're very proud of what he achieved. A massive thank you to him and the whole team who made this possible.

Fancy trying the coffee he used at the finale? Well, it will be available (in limited quantity) online asap :-)

This is What We Do

This is What We Do

Small Batch Specialty Coffee Roasting to order: This is What We Do.

Nero Scuro was founded on a simple concept: we never roast anything that does not excite us or that we would not be pleased to drink ourselves.
Our coffee is our passion and the heart of our business: we import, roast and sell only what we consider to be the finest coffees available. As a micro-roastery, the way we operate is both simple and rare: we roast no more than four kilograms per batch, and do this only after a customer has placed an order to ensure freshness and quality. We pack the coffee in high quality bags with degassing valves right after roasting it, and ship them shortly thereafter. We spend countless hours perfecting the roasting profile of each coffee before adding it to our collection. We use a classic drum roaster, equipped with advanced temperature control systems to ensure that our results are consistent and repeatable.

In conclusion, we are proud to use an approach to roasting that has not acquiesced to faster, less expensive methods or to the practice of producing high volumes to decrease costs. Our goal is to create a unique product that allows our customers to experience the full flavours and aromas typical of each region the coffee comes from. We take pride in the success we have achieved in this endeavor.
