Espresso Tasting Set - 50/50 Blend

3 x 1000g Bean

All espressos in this trio have 2 things in common: They are made of 50% Arabica & 50% Robusta beans, and they taste fabulous!

Try these three well-balanced blends and convince yourself of the high quality. Because "Robusta does not mean lower quality". This is the thesis of many experienced roasting masters. And more and more espresso lovers are discovering the benefits of a high Robusta content. Even 100% Robusta blends are extremely popular with us. Of course, the quality has to be right.

Robusta beans bring with them an incredible number of great characteristics that cannot be achieved by a pure Arabica blend. The espresso gains depth and volume. Dark aromas of tobacco, dark chocolate, malt, caramel and woody tones really bring out the floral and fruity notes of the Arabica bean. You also get a more intense and long-lasting crema on your coffee.

And for all those who like to drink cappuccino and co., more expression and strength of the beans is a plus anyway.

Furthermore, robusta beans contain significantly more caffeine than arabica beans, which gives the blends a special kick in this case. The somewhat higher bitter substances are also removed from the robusta beans by gentle and slow roasting. So a relatively high proportion of robusta does not mean anything negative.

The three blends in our set make use of the best characteristics of both varieties and combine them to create a divine espresso.


La Tazza d'oro Miscela Bar 1kg

Blend ratio: 50% Arabica beans/ 50% Robusta beans

The Miscela Bar impresses with its incredibly balanced character and complex flavour profile. The Indian Robusta beans provide a strong cocoa aroma and the Brazilian Arabica beans a delicious sweetness. The two varieties complement each other fabulously and you experience new nuances with every sip. The higher caffeine content of the Robustas is particularly good in all classic coffee specialities with hot-foamed milk.

The best results are achieved by preparing the coffee in a portafilter or ground in a moka pot. But the Miscela Bar also cuts a fine figure in a fully automatic machine.


Nurri Caffè 100% Napoletano 1kg

Blend ratio: 50% Arabica beans/ 50% Robusta beans

Founder Antonio Nurri created a Neapolitan espresso coffee entirely in his own style: elegant, classic and varied in aroma.

On the palate, this blend is strong with aromas of dark chocolate and almond. The fine fruity notes of wild berries and citrus fruits of the Arabica beans form a perfect counterpart. With spicy notes and an elegantly smooth aftertaste, Nurri Caffè 100% Napoletano proves what makes a true Neapolitan coffee.

It is best to enjoy this espresso as a true Neapolitan would - neat.
However, thanks to its strength, 100% Napoletano also makes a wonderful base for all latte variations.


Lollo Gran Bar Perlage 1kg

Blend ratio: 50% Arabica beans/ 50% Robusta beans

Inside the chic red packaging are fine beans from three different countries of origin. The Arabica beans come from Brazil and the Robusta beans are grown in India and Uganda at altitudes of up to 1,500m. The 50/50 blend ensures an intense and round espresso with a full-bodied chocolate and nut aroma. An espresso that will please lovers of strong coffees. This unique blend gets its name Perlage from its similarity in character to the wine of the same name. Both have a perfectly balanced sweetness-acidity ratio. This makes them a masterpiece of taste.

Roasting is done traditionally in a drum roaster. Gently, slowly and beautifully dark. Each variety is treated separately here and can thus develop its full potential. The Gran Bar Perlage Espresso is ideally suited for preparation in a portafilter machine or in a stovetop pot. Freshly ground espresso coffee is known to develop its aromas best.

Very impressive
Format: Paperback
I approached this one with caution and came away impressed, glad to have read it, and looking forward to the sequel. It's a fascinating and occasionally breathtaking novel. Hancock has a knack for writing compelling fiction. It's funny: often when people write reviews of his non-fiction books they'll say they read like good thrillers. This one is compelling as fiction but also had enough historical detail to keep me interested beyond the plot and to make me think about the Spanish conquest of Mexico in a different light. I was very grateful for the endnote by Hancock giving an overview of the types of "fictional" elements he introduced into the book (such as combining a couple of historical events into a single event in order to keep the appropriate pace for a novel) because this clarified things and allowed me to come away from the book with a deeper overall understanding of that period in history--which Hancock really does bring alive. Granted, this is Hancock's take on it--even non-fiction historical books have an author's "take" on events--but it seems to be a very well-informed take. Mixed in are supernatural elements and hints of the non-orthodox elements of history that Hancock is known for investigating in his non-fiction. For me, the blend was good. It's not a perfect novel. For example, the style of switching perspective from character to character from short chapter to short chapter was a bit jarring at first; I found it unnecessary and it ended up taking me out of the narrative for a few short moments. (Perhaps this was done to "hit the ground running" and introduce the large cast of characters and plot threads quickly; still, for me it was too much at first.) However, this stylistic approach shifts as the book goes on; the sequences become longer and occasionally blend together. Ultimately this worked, especially given the large cast and numerous plots the book juggles. If it hadn't worked, I would've put the book down; as it was, I did end up turning pages (on my Kindle) rather quickly and not getting bored. There is an immense amount of blood and gore. Very graphic. I won't pass judgment on it. It did give a pretty visceral impression of the whole human sacrifice element of the Mexica and other peoples, and of what battle was probably like at the time. Character-wise the book is diverse and interesting. There are a few semi-saccharine moments and lightly-drawn characters, but in general all are developed to help drive the story forward and to offer possible insights into their historical counterparts. Ultimately I guess we could call this a "sprawling epic," one that wraps up the first part of its story at the end but leaves a huge section to be developed in the next installment. I hope we don't have to wait too long. As I said at the beginning of this review, I didn't really know what to expect from this book but it really was quite fluid, exciting, surprising, and enlightening. Very impressive.

Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction
Format: Kindle
This has been a relentless and compelling read from page one and comes from one of the most innovative thinkers of our time. Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction. Its characters are real and relatable for their humanity, their virtues, their vices, and their corruption. I especially enjoy his characterization of Montezuma and Cortes, two iconic characters from the pages of history who become living, breathing, understandable humans for the readers. The supernatural elements of the story are undeniably present, but they are handled in a way that blends into the tapestry of the story rather than as silly plot devices. Also, those same supernatural elements help throw into sharper relief the unimaginable brutality and horror of which both of these great civilizations on a collision course were capable. The violence is brutal and horrific, no doubt, but for me the gentleness and humanity of the author in describing it softens its impact. Also, even though the book ventures into some very dark, cruel times in human history, the goodness and humanity of many of the characters prevents the story from becoming a tale of despair or hopelessness. I am a fan of Graham Hancock's non-fiction work, and this book firmly cements him as a fiction author I will be revisiting. Superb!

Cortes sails out of Cuba with a few hundred men under bad circumstances. He brings a priest along who rapes ...
Format: Paperback
Graham Hancock's War God is a novel about Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, taking over Central America in the 16th century. Although fiction, the author tells most of the story through the eyes of the Mexicas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Tlascans in the 1520s. The book begins with Montezuma tripping out on mushrooms, praying to the god Hummingbird, and sacrificing thousands of people on his pyramid. He is preparing for the return of Quetzalcoatl and wants to be ready. Two of the main characters, Malinal and Tozi, escape to influence history. Cortes sails out of Cuba with a few hundred men under bad circumstances. He brings a priest along who rapes and murders children. Other generals and captains help him first take over Ponchantan by using cannons and guns which the Mayans believe are supernatural powers. They defeat tens of thousands of people with advanced weaponry. Disappointed the city doesn't have much gold, they loot nearby towns and come up with almost nothing. They find their way to Tenochtitlan and take over instantly. Montezuma believes Cortes is Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent god, and doesn't even put up a fight. My Review: I bought this book because I like Graham Hancock's work on aliens and Ancient Aliens. I thought the story would have more of a supernatural twist. Tozi, one of the supporting characters, could turn invisible, but that was the extent of magic. The book fits in better with historical fiction. The story was an amazing epic. Hancock researched every angle possible, and put it into a highly entertaining story while teaching the reader about Central American history. I really loved the character of Malinal, a young woman forced into being a sex slave. Tozi the teenage witch was also interesting as she escaped from the sacrifice of Montezuma. Cortes was portrayed as a thoughtful leader who sought new lands and gold. I really enjoyed the book, but I do have one criticism. Hancock can get very wordy per my reading tastes, especially in battle scenes. Otherwise, this was a terrific read for anyone who loves history. 4.5/5 Stars http://dinaraeswritestuff.blogspot.com/

Hancock continues his exploration of good and evil -- Spoiler alert!
Format: Paperback
In this his second historical novel Graham Hancock continues his epic saga of good and evil, ancient civilizations, religions, the paranormal, and more. His recounting here of the warfare and perversity in the time of Cortes and Moctezuma is unflinching. One wonders at times what holds him in balance against the madness and carnage he depicts. There are romantic elements in the story, and a great innocence presented in the points of view of several young people of the time, and even in the personality of Cortes there are winsome elements presented, of which he must have held several in order to have become the inspired leader he became. One fascination I found is the possibility that the evil demon god of the Mexicas (popularly but inaccurately known by most as the Aztecs), Hummingbird (I won't attempt the Mexica spelling here!) may simply have been another face of the Christian god Peter, not the Peter of the New Testament but the later Peter of the Inquisition and the New World conquest. And what is this demon god up to today? I have been unable to find an update as to when Part Two of this story may be published. It does seem that GH, from a perusal of his fascinating Facebook page (see Author.GrahamHancock) has been working on it. For me it almost seems Part One is sufficient. I can fill in the outlines and projections from my own imagination. But this book is a splendid attempt at finding a mass audience, toward gaining a readership of awakening souls to help renovate our present day logjam and remove the Moctezuma's of our time. But will we, as Cortez, find ourselves unable to truly create something better? For interested readers I recommend several writers -- Jim Marrs on the Nazis' continuation after WWII, also his "Alien Agenda," David Wilcock's (a good friend and interviewer of GH) and Wes Penre's works, much of which are free online. The only real revolution is in the human heart.

Not for the squeamish...
Format: Kindle
Let me start by saying that I'm a big fan of Mr Hancock's previous books,. I have purchased and five-starred most of them. His books are well researched, well written,lucid, and a pleasure to read. Also let me freely confess that I'm a total wimp when it comes to blood-letting, have been known to faint at the sight of blood. (delicate female here, LOL!) Anyways, while I'm sure that this book is, like all of his others, well written and interesting, I just couldn't get past the gore. Sorry, Graham -- not your fault, it's my own weakness. I really struggle with the star-rating thing here. Since the weakness is mine, and I know he's such a good writer, I'll do four stars instead of three or five -- that seems like a reasonable compromise. Hopefully he'll write another series in future that stars the good "gods" instead of the bad ones.
