The everyday medium roast that does it all.

Caffè Borbone's medium roast coffee beans are the easy choice for daily coffee — smooth, balanced and full of crema, without the sharp edges of a darker roast or the flatness of cheap supermarket beans.

The Collection — four blends in 1kg bags

One roast philosophy, four characters: Espresso Intenso for bold cups with dark chocolate and caramel notes, Crema Classica for velvety, sweet everyday drinking, Crema Superiore as the smooth all-day all-rounder, and 100% Arabica for aromatic black coffee with low bitterness.

Why whole coffee beans?

Freshly roasted whole beans are the single biggest upgrade you can make to home coffee. Grinding to order means more aroma, more crema and more flavour in every cup than anything pre-ground or pod-based can give you.

Roasted in Naples and shipped Australia-wide, Caffè Borbone beans are equally at home in an espresso machine, a moka pot, or a grind-and-brew setup. Buy online today and taste the difference fresh Italian coffee beans make.

How to brew

For espresso, grind fine and aim for a 25–30 second shot. For a moka pot, use a slightly coarser grind and take it off the heat as soon as it gurgles. For filter or pour-over, go coarser still. Whichever way you brew, grind just before you make your coffee for the freshest cup.

Frequently asked question

Which blend is the strongest?

Espresso Intenso is the boldest and fullest-bodied of the medium roast range. If you want maximum strength, that's the one

Otherwise step up to our Dark Roast line.

Which blend has the lowest bitterness?

The 100% Arabica blend — it's naturally sweeter and smoother, with the least bitterness. Ideal if you find strong espresso too sharp, or you drink your coffee black.

Are these beans suitable for moka pots and filter, or just espresso machines?

All of them work across espresso machines, moka pots and filter brewers. They're designed for Italian-style brewing first, but they're versatile — just adjust your grind size to suit your method.

How should I store the beans?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature, away from heat, light and moisture. Don't refrigerate — temperature changes cause condensation that damages the beans. Use within 3–4 weeks of opening for best flavour

Do I need a grinder to use whole beans?

Yes — whole beans need grinding just before brewing for the best flavour. If you don't have a grinder, our ground coffee range gives you the same blends ready to brew.
