Espresso yourself – what goes into making your favourite cup of coffee

Most of us have our go-to coffee shop, whether it’s the cosy vibe of Hotel Chocolat, the sweet treats at Ben and Jerry’s, or the rich brews at Costa Coffee. But have you ever wondered about the coffee blends these brands use to make your cup just right? From rich and bold to smooth and creamy, each brand has crafted its unique blend to bring out the best in every sip.

Not just about the beans

Coffee is more than just a caffeine boost – it’s a craft, an experience, and, for some, a ritual. Each coffee brand has its distinct approach to sourcing and blending beans, making each one special in its own way. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee to go or sitting down to enjoy your favourite drink, knowing where your coffee comes from makes it that much more enjoyable.

Costa Coffee full-bodied and flavourful

Costa Coffee’s Mocha Italia blend has a loyal following, and it’s easy to see why. This medium roast has a full-bodied flavour with subtle chocolatey notes that complement their range of lattes and cappuccinos. Costa also brings in blends like their Intensely Dark roast, perfect for those who prefer their coffee with a little more punch. No matter what you choose, Costa’s coffee always has that smooth, rich taste we know and love.

Hotel Chocolat a luxurious twist

Hotel Chocolat is renowned for its indulgent chocolates, but its coffee blends are just as exceptional. Their unique coffee blend features four passionately selected Arabica coffee beans from Ethiopia, Sumatra, Colombia, and Brazil. These beans have been carefully chosen to complement the rich, flavourful chocolate for which Hotel Chocolat is famous. Whether you’re enjoying a frothy cappuccino with a light sprinkle of cocoa or sipping an Americano alongside a bar of their more cocoa, less sugar chocolate, Hotel Chocolat ensures that both their coffee and chocolate provide a luxurious and satisfying experience.

Krispy Kreme coffee that complements sweet treats

Krispy Kreme isn’t just about doughnuts; their coffee perfectly matches their signature sweet treats. They use a special blend of rainforest-certified coffee beans, carefully selected for their dark, strong flavour. This blend perfectly balances the sweetness of their famous doughnuts, creating a harmonious pairing in every cup. Whether you’re enjoying a rich espresso or a smooth coffee, Krispy Kreme’s coffee offers a bold and satisfying taste that complements their indulgent doughnuts.

Caffè Nero a taste of Italy in every sip

When it comes to authentic Italian coffee, Caffè Nero is the place to be. Their Espresso Blend is rich, full-bodied, and smooth, providing that perfect espresso shot you crave. Sourced from South America and Africa, their beans are carefully selected for their flavour complexity. Whether you’re sipping a cappuccino or an espresso, Caffè Nero offers an Italian-inspired coffee experience that never disappoints.

Ben & Jerry’s coffee with a conscience

Ben & Jerry’s might be best known for its ice cream, but their coffee is just as impressive. Partnering with Pact Coffee, a company dedicated to ethically sourced, high-quality beans, Ben & Jerry’s brings you a coffee that’s both delicious and sustainable. The bold, smooth espresso blend gives their coffee a signature rich flavour that complements their commitment to quality and ethics.

Bakers & Baristas warm, welcoming, and rich

Bakers & Baristas offers a cosy, comforting coffee experience with a blend of high-quality beans designed to suit every taste. Their signature coffee blend features beans from Latin America and Africa, offering a rich, smooth flavour with hints of chocolate and nutty undertones. Whether you’re enjoying their Espresso or a classic Cappuccino, Bakers & Baristas ensures that every cup is satisfying and made with care. Their commitment to sourcing ethically grown beans makes them a favourite for those who want a delicious and responsible cup of coffee.
