Collection: Dark roasts

In order to get the maximum taste experience from our espresso beans, there are a few important things to consider, especially with regard to preparation. In general, dark roasts are suitable for preparing espressos. In order to achieve the typical nutty, chocolatey aromas in your cup profile, you need the right preparation method. We recommend preparing in a moka pot, a portafilter or fully automatic machines.

But always remember that different preparation methods also produce different tastes. For example, an espresso from a portafilter tastes much stronger and more nuanced than espresso from a moka pot. The fully automatic machine can be used to make many different variations of espressos, such as cappuccino, americano, etc. The same applies to the portafilter, of course.

In general, our dark roasts are blends. Blends are mixtures of coffees from several countries, which bring a wide variety of flavors to your cup. The espressos are based on Brazilian green coffee from Ismael Andrade's farms, which, depending on the variety, are supplemented by other high-quality coffees from other countries.

The Brazilian coffee provides the typical full-bodied, chocolatey notes. The other coffees from Guatemala, El Salvador or Ethiopia, for example, complement these with floral notes, caramel or spices. Each individual blend is unique and has its own taste details.

What criteria does your favorite espresso have to meet? Do you like it very strong? Then try our Wilderer Espresso, thanks to 20 % Indian Robusta it is probably the strongest blend in our range, or the Hausespresso, which impresses with spicy notes. If you prefer something a little milder, then our Wildsau is the right choice for you! It is roasted a little lighter than our other blends and gives a full-bodied cup profile with distinct fruity aromas.

Our Bergsonne is also always popular and is a real classic in our range thanks to its irresistible taste of brittle and bitter chocolate.

At the beginning we mentioned the appropriate preparation methods. But the storage of the beans and the grinding of the coffee also play a big role when it comes to the best possible taste in your cup. Ideally, you should always grind your coffee fresh.

We recommend manual grinders such as the Comandante C40 Black or an electric version such as the Fellow Ode, which delivers a perfect grinding result. If you order already ground coffee, there is a risk that it will "go off" and lose its unique taste. Whole beans retain their taste for longer, and already ground coffee should be used up within 1 to 2 weeks.

In both cases, correct storage is also crucial. Coffee should always be stored protected from oxygen, light and sun. Our coffee bag with aroma protection valve ensures that no oxygen gets to your beans. It is best to place the bag in a location that is protected from sun and light, e.g. in a cupboard. Also make sure that this place is as odor-free as possible. Spicy smells can also change the taste of the coffee.

Another vacuum container is also recommended, which protects the coffee from oxygen even without a bag. You can find these in a wide range of sizes and versions in our accessories shop.

Then take a look at our sample packages! The sample packages are ideal for coffee lovers who would like to try several varieties. We have put together two "Dark Roast" sample packages for you.

Every package contains two different espresso roasts - one strong, one a little bit milder. This way you are guaranteed to find your favorite variety and discover the variety of flavors of our espressos.

You also save on costs when you buy a sample pack. All of our sample packs come price reduced to buying the two coffees seperated.
