Espresso Tasting Pack 80/20 Duo
2 x 1000g Whole Beans
The ratio of 80% Arabica to 20% Robusta beans is one of the most popular blends among coffee lovers. It combines the aromatic finesse and delicate sweetness of Arabica with the dense crema and strong body of Robusta.
This tasting set brings together two outstanding espressos that each demonstrate, in their own way, how harmonious and expressive this combination can be. Perfect for anyone who wants to experience the full richness of Italian coffee culture.
Passaparola Messaggio
Passaparola Espresso Messaggio embodies the essence of Neapolitan coffee craftsmanship: strong, full-bodied, and with an unmistakable character. The blend of 80% Arabica and 20% Robusta beans comes from the world’s best growing regions. Traditionally dark-roasted in true Neapolitan style, this espresso impresses with its depth, richness, and particularly low acidity.
The complex aroma of Messaggio captivates with notes of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut, and fine toffee, creating a harmonious and long-lasting flavor experience. The Robusta beans contribute a dense, hazelnut-brown crema and lend the espresso an intense strength that delights both when enjoyed straight or as a base for cappuccino or latte macchiato.
Born in the lively streets of Naples, Passaparola is a tribute to Italian coffee tradition and the passion for exceptional coffee. The name — Italian for “word of mouth” — reflects the philosophy that quality speaks for itself and that every cup tells a story of craftsmanship and pleasure.
Alunni Caffè Luigina
Luigina consists of a unique blend of eight varieties sourced from small, high-quality plantations. The origins include Brazil, Kenya, Nepal, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Santo Domingo, complemented by Robusta beans from India and Cuba. In particular, the Indian Kaapi Royale beans from the Baba Budan mountains in Karnataka give the espresso a dreamy crema and a rich brown hue.
This full-bodied espresso is a true Italian bar classic, delighting with its distinctive yet smooth flavor. Aromas of roasted nuts, fresh toast, and baked goods harmonize beautifully with bright notes of stone fruit and blossoms. Thanks to its elaborate long roasting process, Luigina is virtually acid-free. It is excellent both on its own and with milk.
Alunni Luigina has been awarded “Best Tasting Espresso” multiple times at the International Espresso Championships. The jury—comprising over 12,000 experts from the IIAC (International Institute of Coffee Tasters)—evaluates countless coffees worldwide each year. Luigina won the gold medal for Best Espresso Blend three times in a row: in 2019 in Japan, and in 2020 and 2021 in Italy, two of the world’s most renowned coffee nations. It is also officially certified as Espresso Italiano by the Istituto Espresso Italiano.
