Bold, rich and built for those who take it strong.

Caffè Borbone's dark roast espresso coffee beans are for drinkers who want their coffee to make a statement — deep, full-bodied and intense, with a thick crema and a long, satisfying finish.

The Linea Bar range — café-strength blends in 1kg bags

This is the same espresso trusted in Italy's busiest cafés, roasted darker for serious strength. Choose from the powerful 100% Robusta Red blend, the balanced Blue, the refined Gold, the Top Blend, or a full-flavoured Decaf — a dark roast for every strong-coffee lover, with a flavour that holds its own in even the milkiest flat white or cappuccino.

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 punch in every cup than anything pre-ground or pod-based can deliver.

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 bring genuine café-strength Italian coffee beans into your kitchen.

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?

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

Otherwise take a look to our Medium Roast line.

Which blend has the lowest bitterness?

The Gold Bar Line — 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.
