Kimbo Espresso Extra Cream is amongst the best South Italian coffees and espressos. The exact name of this coffee is Armonia Di Gusto Dolce e Aroma Delicato which means coffee with a wonderfully slightly sweet flavour and delicious aroma. That really speaks for itself. Caffè Kimbo unites a delightful dense and slightly sweet crema with a wonderful flavour. This Kimbo Espresso Extra Cream is best suited for original Italian Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato and fine espressos. We are thrilled und you are certainly going to like it too. Earlier on we only ordered smaller amounts which then sold out immediately. Today we almost exclusively import Kimbo coffee in Germany and have extended our range by adding the ground brands in 250g-tins. Due to its blend of high-grade Arabica and Robusta coffees Kimbo Marrone Gusto Forte is a delightful full-bodies coffee with a fine spicy aroma and a splendid harmonious flavour. The share of Robusta in it produces a fantastically dense crema. It is not by chance that this coffee is Kimbo’s best selling.
There are many beautiful Italian cities with tradition such as Rome, Venice, Milan and Turin. Yet, further South there is a city where time apparently stood still, i.e. Naples. Unfortunately, many people have a completely wrong picture when thinking of Naples on the slopes of Vesuvius. They link Naples with the Mafia and crime and view it as a chaotic city where nothing works properly. Yet, there is something in that city which definitely works, i.e. the citizens’ love of coffee or better espresso. Coffee culture and their daily espresso are as much part of Neapolitan culture as being jolly, laid-back and passionate. Neapolitans are very critical with it for espresso is not espresso. There are many kinds, ways of preparing and drinking it. Traditionally Espresso Corto with little water and much coffee and Espresso Lungo with a little more water are the favourites of the Neapolitans which does not mean that they do not fancy Caffè Latte or Caffè Macchiato; they just do not like them that much. On top of that Neapolitans who really enjoy life swear by their Caffè Kimbo, a coffee roaster based in Naples. Caffè Kimbo is the company for Neapolitans that represents their coffee culture.
Owing to the fact that in Naples almost everyone has their own regular bar where they feel well and, of course, have their best espresso there are about 500 to 600 coffee bars. It is really conspicuous that coffee bars in the South are clearly distinct from those in the North of the country. While in the North people sit down you have to stand up in the South and mainly in Naples. Going to a coffee bar is a regular ritual: you enter a bar, have a coffee and a glass of water (you always order a coffee and a glass of water) and go back to your work. This way Neapolitans easily have 3 or 4 espressos a day. They simply take that time and enjoy their coffee. And at prices between 70 and 90 cents per cup this is also an affordable pleasure. Those who have no time or think espresso does not taste that well in a bar make their coffee at home. Each household in Naples has their small espresso machine, cafetière or Bialetti Moka Express. This little stainless steel machine makes a heavenly espresso in no time. The cafetière is used every morning because the first thing that comes to a Neapolitan’s mind is a freshly brewed espresso which they mostly have with milk. You do not leave house before you have had some coffee. There is a saying in Naples about how an espresso should taste: it should be like three Cs, ‘comme cazzo coce’ which in English means “It’s darn hot”.
The typical Naples coffee bar layout is rather solid if not even old-fashioned, without any knickknacks. A small bar, a few snacks, two to three employees and bob’s your uncle. If you like it bigger and more modern you have to go to a Bar Pasticceria. What, of course, should not be missing is a Barista. A Barista in a suit hasting from office to office with a tray in his hand is simply there to serve coffee to those who cannot leave office. They are not to be mistaken with what we know as Barista, namely the person working behind the bar making drinks.
