The lead role is played by complex and refined Arabicas, accompanied by 20% of the finest Robusta beans – a strong but by no means dominant partner. This harmonious pairing is refined with 5% Jamaica Blue Mountain for silky sweetness and depth. A wonderfully vibrant bouquet of aromas, embedded in a fine structure and crowned with a dense, tiger-striped crema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedium roast, classic Italian style, pleasantly low in acidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Duemilaquattro 2004?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 2004, we have lived and loved espresso – now finally also in our own roast.

Behind that, delicate hints of dried fruit unfold, with red apple and apricot; a touch of vanilla and honey completes the picture and lingers long in the aftertaste. A subtle Jamaica Blue Mountain accent adds extra elegance and traces the sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is full, silky, and balanced. A very low-acidity coffee whose slightly bitter notes are pleasantly rounded and cleanly integrated. As an espresso, Duemilaquattro shows precision and clarity, with a dense texture. Even in milk drinks, the chocolate and nut notes remain strong enough to stay at the forefront. The aftertaste echoes with caramel, roasted almond, and a fine honey tone, accompanied by a gentle fruit note – elegant, long-lasting, and exceptionally harmonious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVarieties:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlow roast \u0026amp; single-origin roasting: each origin is roasted separately and slowly; only afterwards is the finely tuned blend created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrazil Santos Cerrado\u003c\/strong\u003e (natural)\u003cbr\u003eVelvety sweetness with milk chocolate, almond, caramel; full body, very low acidity – ideal base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrazil “Descascado”\u003c\/strong\u003e (semi-washed)\u003cbr\u003eCreamy, nutty profile, hazelnut, cocoa, ripe yellow fruits; semi-washed preserves natural sweetness \u0026amp; clarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColombia Supremo\u003c\/strong\u003e (washed)\u003cbr\u003eFinesse \u0026amp; liveliness: sugarcane, red berries, citrus; fine, sparkling acidity for dynamic character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonduras SHG\u003c\/strong\u003e (washed)\u003cbr\u003eHoney, red apple, almond; silky body, subtle citrus note – adds complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndia Parchment\u003c\/strong\u003e (washed)\u003cbr\u003eFull-bodied \u0026amp; creamy, dark chocolate, warm spices, delicate tobacco nuances; velvety mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJamaica Blue Mountain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePure elegance: silky body, fine acidity, bouquet of milk chocolate, honey, nuts \u0026amp; floral notes – as a noble accent (5%).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparation recommendation:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle espresso: 7.5 g in, 93–94 °C, 9 bar, tamping approx. 20 kg, 24–27 s, 28–30 ml out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy “Duemilaquattro”?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItalian for 2004, our founding year and a statement of our focus on Italian coffees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy an Italian name \u0026amp; roasting in Italy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are a German company specializing in exclusive espresso coffees – since 2004 focused on Italian premium roasters.
