Product description

The AMICI Blend Espresso unites selected Arabica coffees from South and Central America, Asia, and Africa into a refined and perfectly balanced composition. South American beans provide rich cocoa notes and a full-bodied character, while Central American Arabicas contribute elegant acidity, ripe fruit tones, and hints of caramelised sugar. African coffees add floral jasmine nuances and vibrant freshness, complemented by the subtle spice and nutty depth of Asian origins.

This carefully crafted espresso blend delivers a smooth yet complex flavour profile with pronounced sweetness and a pleasant acidity that harmonises beautifully with the roast’s fine bitterness. Its silky, velvety body creates a refined mouthfeel and a long-lasting aromatic experience. The finish reveals roasted hazelnuts, followed by notes of sultanas and candied orange peel, leaving a memorable aftertaste that continues well beyond the final sip.

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.
