Faro - Strong Espresso

A Neapolitan espresso, full-bodied and smooth

Faro Forte from Brûleries Faro is a Neapolitan-style blend, designed for those who enjoy an intense, round-bodied espresso topped with a dense crema.

What makes it stand out

Its composition of 75% Arabica and 25% Kapi Royal offers the best of both worlds: Arabica brings chocolate and caramel notes and a touch of acidity, while Kapi Royal enhances the body and persistence of the crema.

The medium roast keeps the blend versatile. It remains true to Italian espresso without the bitterness of a dark roast.

Profile and characteristics

• Blend: 75% Arabica, 25% Kapi Royal — balance of aroma and body
• Medium roast — controlled intensity, without excessive bitterness
• Notes: chocolate, caramel, and a touch of acidity — a gourmet and rounded profile
• Whole beans, 908g (32 oz) format — grind fresh before each extraction
• Prepared in Quebec with carbon footprint offset

Daily use

Faro Forte performs best in automatic espresso machines, which grind and dose the beans on demand. It is also well-suited for filter coffee for a full-bodied cup in the morning.

As it is whole beans, a fresh grind just before extraction preserves the aromas. Keep the bag tightly closed, away from light and humidity.

Who is this coffee for?

• Lovers of full-bodied espresso seeking a round, chocolatey Neapolitan profile
• Owners of automatic espresso machines looking for a versatile daily bean
• Those who want a single blend for both espresso and filter coffee at home

Less suitable for: lovers of light roasts with floral or fruity notes, and those who prefer a mild, light-bodied coffee.

In its category

Among Italian-style whole bean espresso blends, Faro Forte falls into the family of versatile medium-roast coffees: intense enough for a bold espresso, balanced enough for filter coffee.
