Product description

Amici Caffè Café Crème coffee pods. The AMICI blend combines the best Arabica coffees: nine selected ingredients from South and Central America, Asia and Africa. The cocoa notes and full-bodied flavour of South American coffee beans, the elegant acidity, ripe fruit and caramelised sugar of Central American beans, the jasmine and freshness of African Arabicas, and finally the spicy and nutty notes of Asian coffees. The interplay of the individual ingredients in the blend gives the coffee a smooth and complex flavour, with a pronounced sweetness and a pleasant, brittle acidity that blends well with the bitterness of the roast. The structure of the coffee is defined by a silky, velvety body that invites you to discover the coffee sip by sip and ensures that the coffee flavour lingers long after the last sip. The aftertaste initially consists of roasted hazelnuts and then turns into sultanas and candied orange peel, an experience that lingers long after the coffee has been savoured.
About Amici Caffè

Amici Caffè was founded in 1979 by Francesco Illy in Switzerland — the grandson of Francesco Illy Senior, who created the illy brand in Trieste in 1933 and invented the Illetta, the world's first automatic espresso machine. Francesco came to Switzerland for love and built the Swiss market for premium espresso. In 1982, he created the first pure 100% Arabica espresso blend — a break with tradition, as Robusta had always been added until then. Since 1991, Amici has combined coffee with art: together with designer Matteo Thun, espresso cups became art objects, designed by over 125 artists. In 1994, the FrancisFrancis! X1 followed, an espresso machine designed by Luca Trazzi that WIRED celebrated as a design icon.

Today, Amici Caffè is based in Steinhausen and operates independently. The current blend combines nine hand-selected Arabica varieties from South and Central America, Africa and Asia — roasted in Italy in a 12-minute process with precise temperature control. Amici deliberately chooses paper pods over aluminium or plastic capsules and has been committed since 2012 to reforestation through the project "Let's plant Trees in the Desert!" in partnership with the Egyptian organisation SEKEM. At Espressa, we carry Amici Caffè ESE pods, coffee beans and the LT1 espresso machine.
