Today the article is dedicated to Ernani coffees, or rather, we will try together to find the perfect Ernani coffee for you and your tastespersonal!
As you can see on our website caffeernani.com there are many coffees and they are all different…
if you don’t know well this world and the characteristics of the beans, how can you choose the right coffee?
So here is the complete guide to choosing the Ernani coffee to buy!
I will try to be simple and schematic, showing the main differences of all our blends and single origins, so as to understand the soul and obviously the final taste in the cup!
Before we begin, we have also thought up a small, simple test to help you work out which coffee is right for you in three simple questions. Click below and find out!
The medium roast
First of all, it is important to say that every Ernani coffee, whether blended or single-origin, Arabica or Robusta, is always roasted at a Medium level!
What does it mean?
As you can see in the photo below, the color of the beans is a nice warm, light and opaque brown.
This level of roasting allows you to fully enhance all the natural aromas present in our carefully selected and defect-free raw beans. This makes the cup of coffee extract intensely aromatic, with hints that can range from chocolate to fruit, from citrus fruits to flowers, from dried fruit to spices and so on, and above all with a low bitterness!
The question that now arises spontaneously is: so called, medium roasting would seem the best… why then don’t all roasters apply it?
The answer is very simple: because just as it enhances all the merits of green coffee, it also enhances any defects.
Defects can be both physical and olfactory, such as broken, moldy or infected-infested grains, with hints of ash, rubber, tar, wet grass, wood, rotten or unripe grains, etc.
Obviously some roasters, especially those of the commercial brands, buy these raw coffees at very low prices, and roast them at a dark level to make them very bitter, in this way any gustatory defects are hidden.
So we understood the general soul of Ernani coffees: creamy, intensely aromatic, fresh, sweet and never too bitter!
Differences between Ernani blends
The blends, as it is easy to guess, are packs made up of several coffees, coming from various parts of the world, each of which gives the final cup its own characteristic.
Ernani blends are 5:
- Blue Diamond – 100% arabica
- Allegro
- Armonia
- Vivace
- Stretto – 100% robusta
For convenience we divide them into two groups: those with a higher percentage of Arabica and those with a higher percentage of Robusta.
Blue Diamond

- It is more acidic than sweet and bitter

N.B. Though the percentages of Arabica and Robusta as a tool of differentiation, actually taken as a figure by itself doesn’t mean much.
Of course, if we buy a 100% Arabica coffee we imagine it more delicate and fragrant, with greater acidity. It is also true, however, that if the originally selected Arabica is poor and/or dark roasted, the taste will simply be bitter and fragrance-free.
To be clear, our 100% Robusta is sometimes less bitter than some super roasted Arabicas on the market!
So let’s also look at the percentage, but let’s not only rely on this, we also check the aromatic profile, the origins and the level of roasting.

Differences between single-origin Ernani
The single origins are instead packs made up of a single coffee, coming from the same geographical area and plantation, releasing the scents, aromas and sensations of that specific land.
The single origins Ernani are 6:
- Ethiopia Sidamo
- Guatemala Huehuetenango
- Colombia Finca la Meseta
- Indian Kalledevarapura
- Brazilian Women’s Coffee
- Brazil Bom Chocolate
For convenience we divide them into two groups: those with greater acidity and those with greater sweetness.
Among these I also indicate the Blue Diamond, which despite being part of the blends, we also compare it to single-origin Arabicas, being precisely a 100% Arabica.
