Clipper Italian Blend Organic Ground Roasted Coffee 227g

Clipper Italian Blend is a high-quality, ground coffee crafted for those who enjoy a strong, intense, and traditional "Italian-style" coffee. This blend is specifically roasted to provide a deep, full-bodied cup with the characteristic richness of a dark roast, making it ideal for those who prefer an assertive coffee profile.

Key Characteristics

• Dark Roast Profile: This blend is roasted longer to achieve a dark, intense flavor. You can expect bold, smoky, and toasted notes, often with a hint of dark chocolate, which is hallmark of a classic Italian-style roast.

• Ground for Convenience: The coffee is pre-ground to a consistency suitable for most home brewing methods, such as cafetières (French press), filter machines, and stovetop moka pots.

• Organic Certified: As with all Clipper products, the beans are sourced from organic-certified farms, ensuring they are grown without synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers.

• Fairtrade Sourcing: Clipper maintains a firm commitment to ethical trade, ensuring that coffee growers receive a fair price, which supports the sustainability of their farming practices and the well-being of their communities.

Preparation Suggestions

• French Press (Cafetière): Use 1–2 heaped tablespoons of coffee per cup of hot water. Allow to brew for 4–5 minutes before plunging.

• Filter Coffee Machine: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, generally using 1 level tablespoon of ground coffee per 150ml of water.

• Moka Pot: Fill the basket loosely with coffee (do not tamp down), fill the base with water up to the safety valve, and heat on the stove. This will produce a concentrated, espresso-like shot.

• Best Temperature: Use water just off the boil (approx. 92°C–96°C) to extract the full flavor of the beans without burning them.

Dietary and Allergen Considerations

• Vegan & Vegetarian: Completely plant-based.

• Gluten-Free: Naturally free from gluten.

• Caffeine Content: This is a standard caffeinated coffee.

• Allergen Safety: Pure coffee is inherently allergen-free. Please check the packaging for any facility-level warnings if you have severe sensitivities.

Important Disclaimer

Storage Advice: Once opened, oxygen is the enemy of fresh coffee. To maintain the flavor, roll down the bag tightly to remove as much air as possible and store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For the best flavor experience, consume within 2–4 weeks of opening. Always refer to the physical product packaging for the most accurate ingredient declaration, best-before dates, and detailed brewing instructions.
