In 2020, we inaugurated the Ernani Academy, the academy with a 360-degree look at the world of coffee, in order to train professionals, but without excluding any coffee lovers or curious people, to grow together around the culture of good coffee.

Why did we create the Ernani Academy?

Torrefazione Ernani took shape from the desire of Luca and Claudia, two of the four founders, to be able to serve really good, intensely aromatic coffee without that classic burnt aftertaste and a strong bitter note.

Together with Paolo, the roaster of Caffè Ernani, they began the whole project with the desire to give a new life and a breath of fresh air to the Italian espresso.

The team’s continuous training and constant quest for improvement has given the staff a huge and unbridled passion for the roasted bean.

Having reached this point, it was obvious that we wanted to pass on all that we were learning and learning every day to you as well!

If we also consider the fact that practitioners often come from generational changes, where the craft is passed down through practical experience, and that’s just fine! However, you often lack the theoretical training behind you, which allows you to fully understand the variables of the bean and then know how to manipulate them to obtain an excellent and, above all, consistent product over time, without relying more on “chance.”

The Academy was mandatory, both for our clients and for all curious outsiders!

The Academy has 6 courses, covering the entire coffee supply chain, namely:

  1. Green Coffee – the course designed to acquire skills on the raw material processed, raw coffee, also called green coffee;
  2. Roasting – the perfect course to learn how to read the roasting curve and understand the different methods and levels;
  3. Cafeteria – the course suitable for professionals in the sector, to acquire knowledge on the raw material processed and on the extraction phase of the beverage;
  4. From single-origins to Ernani blends. – the dual-purpose course: introduction to the espresso tasting course and understanding how different coffees influence the flavor profile of the final blend;
  5. Espresso tasting – the course as a true sommelier, which will give you all the tools suitable for carrying out a complete organoleptic analysis of the espresso;
  6. Brewing – the course that requires the most manual skills of all, to deepen the methods of extraction of coffee as an alternative to espresso.

The time has finally come…
The newest product for incredible tasting by Ernani is online!

I can’t tell you how happy I am about this news. The whole Ernani team, along with myself, Martina, we worked on it for a really long time — we wanted everything to be perfect.

We started with you!

We at Ernani Coffee truly care about our customers and respect and consider your every opinion, advice and even criticism.

When you ask us questions, we immediately save them in our systems so that we remember what is most interesting for you to know.

And finally, when you make a request or criticism, we take it up with even more enthusiasm, as you give us a way to improve and add products and services that are critical to you!

Therefore, Ernani Voyage also started from you, our customers, readers and followers!

What is Ernani Voyage?

Ernani Voyage is the newest product from Caffè Ernani, launched just today, Thursday, Dec. 14, on caffeernani.com.

It will then be available in Torrefazione Ernani in Milan starting Saturday, December 16.

This new product is more than a coffee, it is more than a taste and it is more even than a tasting-it is an experience!
A sensory experience that will make you fall even more in love with coffee and discover its flavors and homelands.
Ernani Voyage tells you about coffee as a whole, from the plantation overseas to the cup prepared at home!

If you wish, below I point you to the individual coffees to view the product sheets and learn more about them:

3 reasons to buy Ernani Voyage

We created it for three different reasons, the same reasons you should buy it:

1. Figuring out the perfect coffee for yourself

In fact, online we have as many as 12 different coffees, including blends, single-origins and solidarity projects.

Choosing the right coffee for yourself is not always super easy, especially if it is the first time you are approaching this world, which is full of specific terms, such as “arabica,” “robusta,” “washed,” “natural,” “highland,” “medium roast,” etc.

How then to choose the right coffee?

It is definitely best to let one’s mouth and taste decide.

To do so, you will no longer have to buy all our coffees in the 250g format…

Just buy Ernani Voyage, try them all, or almost all, and only then choose the right one for yourself!

2. Finding out what flavors a coffee can have

If you do not feel akin to the first group above, as you already know the perfect coffee or flavor for you.

But are you really sure? Have you already tried intensely aromatic, intensely aromatic Medium and Medium-light Roast coffees with well-defined and explosive flavors?

Have you ever tasted a coffee that is fruity, chocolaty, citrusy and more?

So why not try them once and for all and be carried away by the experience!

Who knows, maybe you will discover a new flavor that will make you fall hopelessly in love!

3. Being able to change coffee every day
Last, but not least, is definitely the possibility of being able to change coffee every day!

Why limit yourself to buying one small package when you can have 10?

Each day you can then choose which taste you would like to enjoy, depending on the mood of the day or your mood of the moment.

Or even based on your needs–in the afternoon you can choose an arabica coffee with less caffeine, and for the morning wake-up call a nice blend containing some robusta!

Have I still not convinced you completely? Continue reading below!

Travel the world with a cup of coffee!

Why did we specifically choose “Voyage” as our name?

And why does it also say “Travel the world with a cup of coffee” on the package?

Simple! Because with every sip of every little package you open, your mind, your knowledge and your taste buds will set off on journeys to Central and South America, Asia and Africa.

Indeed, the grains are indelibly marked by their land of origin.

The aromatic notes they express after roasting, the characteristics and conformity of the grain, the taste, the organoleptic profile, and their specific techniques all derive from the territory where the plant is inserted and has grown for its entire life.

Altitude, soil composition, the amount of sun, wind and water during the year, other plants surrounding the plantation, etc. all change the end result that the coffee beans will offer once in the cup.

P.S. This discussion obviously applies only to selected raw coffees that are quality and therefore faultless and expertly roasted to a medium or light level.

In the taste of each Ernani coffee you will therefore find a little piece of the land of the country of origin of the coffee in question.
Don’t worry, you will not have to do anything but let us at Cafe Ernani guide you!

On the label of all the different types of coffee inside the Ernani Voyage you will find a QR code, which will refer you to the product page of the coffee in question, where you will find its full description.

You will also see a section called “Coffee History” in which we tell you:
  • When and how coffee first came to the country;
  • Any other very nice and funny legends;
  • What are the coffee-growing areas in the country and their different characteristics;
  • The specific area of the coffee we purchased and the plantation;
  • Landscape features;
  • Trivia and small anecdotes;
  • Photos of plantations.

Last week we introduced the Christmas Blend, created specifically for the holidays and perfect for sharing with your loved ones!

Today we’re talking about all the other Ernani Christmas products!
Leggi l’articolo sulla Miscela di Natale

Let’s start with perhaps the most awaited and requested product of all:

Coffee Panettone

The unique, inimitable and very tasty Panettone with Ernani coffee and dark chocolate drops.

Since mid-November, roasting customers in Milan have started asking for it because they don’t want to wait any longer!

Over the years these are just an example of all the reviews we have collected:

I buy it every year because I know I always make a great impression with everyone!
Previous
Next
Over 4500 Panettone sold, over 4500 satisfied customers!

The panettone dough is made with a special mother yeast, which needs to be “reborn” every day. After which it is left to rest for 48 hours before being worked with exclusively artisanal methods.

This meticulous attention is also used for the selection of all the ingredients and for the phases that lead to obtaining a dessert with an unmistakable taste.

The secret of Panettone Ernani lies in the perfect balance between all its ingredients, handled by expert and careful hands.

The dough is then enriched with drops of dark chocolate. The result is a fantastic mix between the delicate bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of the chocolate.

Serve it at the table and you will leave everyone speechless!

Finally, the surface is glazed and, as required by tradition, garnished with almonds and granulated sugar.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Tree!

A special gift for a special person!

For the Planet is an enveloping blend, with a round body, balanced between the sweet notes of ripe fruit and the bitterness of cocoa.

It is also an eco-friendly blend, thanks to the collaboration with Gone West and their For the Planet project, controlled by agreements between the company and the controlled countries called “Plant & Protect”.

For more information, watch the video below.

The blend is made up of a higher percentage of Arabica coffee, which gives interesting aromatic characteristics in the cup.

While Robusta coffees allow, especially if extracted in espresso, the structuring of a smooth and compact cream of a beautiful hazelnut color.

The body is round and envelops the palate.

The scent of freshly extracted coffee is warm and inviting, with fresher and sweeter notes of ripe fruit pulp, followed by the delicate bitterness of cocoa.

The aftertaste highlights above all notes of chocolate and nuts, pleasant and persistent over time.

For each package of “Christmas with For the Planet” we will plant a tree together with Gone West!

Gone West is a truly and concretely green company, which in the last 5 years has planted more than 5 million trees and created over 150 green jobs.

“Together we are stronger”

This is where you come in! Thanks to your gifts you can help the environment with a small but important gesture and make this project really big!

Christmas basket

If you know a coffee lover, this is the perfect gift for him!

We have in fact thought about the possibility of directly creating a package complete with everything:

  • The Ernani blend designed for Christmas and available only for one month! Chocolate, sweet and fruity, to remember the family warmth and the enveloping embrace of a hot chocolate – 250g pack, you choose whether in grains or ground!
  • Blue Diamond, the most prestigious Ernani blend, composed exclusively of Arabica and winner of the 2022 Gold Medal at the International Coffee Tasting. Scented, aromatic, silky, fresh and suitable for different extraction methods: from espresso to filter, passing through moka – 250g pack, you choose whether in beans or ground!
  • An Ernani Mug: a high quality resistant ceramic cup, perfect for coffee, for a cappuccino, for a filter coffee or even for tea.
  • Our quick and easy guide to learn how to “Recognize a quality coffee: before, during and after tasting”. Very useful for starting to delve into the world of coffee, from the raw bean and its harvesting, through the manufacturing processes, up to the roasting, in order to no longer be fooled by the empty word “Quality”, but learning to recognize it independently.

All this inside a single Christmas box, closed with a beautiful bow handmade by us!

And if you also want to insert a greeting card, just write the text in the order notes!

Let us guide you and give a completely new tasting experience!

The Christmas Blend

A blend that everyone likes, designed just to be shared: balanced between the freshness of red fruits, the sweetness of ripe fruit and the bitterness of cocoa.

This blend is reminiscent of a delicious cinnamon-flavored hot chocolate if extracted in a mocha or espresso, while it is more reminiscent of red fruit and almond tea if extracted in a filter!

Finally it’s only available for December, don’t miss it and try it now!

Did I help you with any new Christmas gift ideas?
Happy Holidays!

The Ernani Christmas Blend has arrived!

Like every year during the winter holidays we always create new products designed to celebrate with friends and relatives, which can bring together and surprise everyone!

Today I introduce you to the Christmas Blend!

A coffee with an unmistakable taste, capable of leaving an indelible mark in your memory!

Here’s why:

  • It’s a coffee designed to conclude a lavish lunch, which reactivates and helps digestion, thanks to the caffeine content coming from the robusta part of the blend;
  • It’s also a coffee to be sipped calmly, as it almost resembles a nice cup of steaming, sweet and delicate tea, with fruity aromas if extracted in a filter; or a delicious hot chocolate flavored with cinnamon, creamy and enveloping, if prepared in mocha or espresso.

Creation

Special thanks to Paolo and Andrea, our roasters, for having succeeded in obtaining such a balanced and intensely aromatic coffee, the result of a skilful marriage between the Arabica coffees of Central America and the African varieties of Robusta.

After researching raw coffees and following various researches, tests and tastings, they achieved their goal: a sweet, creamy and intense coffee!

Tap below to buy it!

Composition of the Blend

The blend is composed by a higher percentage of Arabica coffee:

  • A single-origin Guatemalan Arabica from the Huehuetenango region, grown at about 1450 m above sea level, harvested with the picking method, then manually and then washed;
  • A single-origin Brazilian Arabica, from the Cerrado region, Bom Chocolate plantation, grown at about 1000 m above sea level, always harvested with the picking method and then processed with the natural method;
  • A single-origin Robusta Superior from Tanzania, grown at 900m above sea level, natural;
  • A single origin Robusta from Congo, Mombasa region, cultivated at 900m above sea level, natural;
  • A single origin robusta from Uganda, grown at 900m above sea level, natural.

Sensory description

The arabica part, which makes up 70% of the beans in the package, offers the coffee a broad and pleasant aromatic spectrum, with sweet notes of chocolate, caramel, nuts, fresh fruit and a light freshness given by citrus fruits.

Everything is balanced by a delicate bitterness given by the Robusta coffees, with more intense notes of dark chocolate.

Finally, if extracted in espresso, the cream is compact and persistent, with an intense hazelnut color, while the body is round and enveloping.

Suitable for

It is a coffee suitable for those looking for a balanced blend of sweetness and bitterness, with enveloping notes of ripe fruit and chocolate.

So perfect to share… who doesn’t like fruit and chocolate, mixed in an intense and creamy coffee?

Buy it now!

Medium Roasting

Everything is then enhanced by the Medium Roasting, Ernani’s distinctive signature on all its products, carried out separately for each single origin.

The Medium Roasting enhances all the natural aromas and qualities of carefully selected raw coffee to the max, bringing the best of each bean into the cup.

Finally, it never makes the coffee excessively bitter, therefore perfect to be enjoyed without sugar.

But be careful that just as it enhances all the merits it also enhances all the defects, so you need to start from a high quality raw material!

Find out more, watch the video below!

Methods of extraction

Some advice on three methods of preparation:

  • Espresso
  • Mocha pot
  • Paper filter
Espresso

We recommend extracting a dose of 7.8-8.2 g per person to obtain an intense, creamy and especially fragrant.

Already on the nose you can perceive a marked aroma of cocoa which is then also found on the palate. The acidity in this case is soft and recalls that of red fruits.

Overall it is a good coffee balanced between acidity, sweetness and bitterness.

Mocha pot

The nose smells of nuts and chocolate.

Also in this case the result is a balanced, enveloping coffee with a pleasant acidity and good bitterness, accompanied by the sweetness of ripe fruit.

Chocolate is the predominant taste and is very persistent over time, leaving an excellent aftertaste in the mouth.

Filter

If extracted in a filter, on the other hand, the nose perceives an intense aroma of cinnamon and red fruits, which can recall a tea.

Notwithstanding it is a blend and not a single origin, it is a good filter coffee: balanced, round and above all without defects. I recommend a water temperature of 92°C.

To find out how to best use these tools, watch our videos on the various social channels:

Where can I buy the blend?

As every year, October 1st is the International Coffee Day, together with MilanoCaffè 2022.

On this day we like to promote a different characteristic of coffee and its supply chain every year:

  • in fact, in 2019 we opened the doors of our roasting lab in Desio to show how raw material is transformed;
  • In 2020 we allowed you to taste the first single origin espresso served at the bar of the Torrefazione in Milan, to broaden our horizons and experience first-hand the fact that “coffee is not just a coffee” and that each of them has a completely different aromatic profile;
  • Finally, in 2021, you had the opportunity to get to know two projects we care very much about: the Caffè delle Donne, following our enrollment in the International Alliance of Women in Italian coffee, and the For the Planet blend in collaboration with Gone West, for environmental support. In this case, we discovered how the coffee sector is committed to protecting both rights and the environment.

This year we return to our production laboratory, to involve you 100% in the creation of a blend!

In fact, it was you who guided us in the creation of a new and unprecedented coffee!

In fact, on the occasion of the International Coffee Day and MilanoCaffè 2022, we will present at the historic roasting shop in Corso Buenos Aires, 20 and on the website www.caffeernani.com a new blend, called “My coffee”.

We all of the Ernani team wanted to give a real and concrete space to our customers, together with active users on our social channels. We therefore decided to launch a contest: #BuildYourBlend, that is, create your own blend!

For a week we have therefore published, in the stories of the @caffeernani profile on

Instagram, a series of questions useful for creating the organoleptic profile and the composition of the future blend.

You all answered and the option with the most votes won!

#BuildYourBlend

In the first question we asked what degree of sweetness was desired: whether a “very sweet”, “moderately sweet” or “not at all sweet” coffee.

The most awarded entry was: “Medium sweet“.

The second request was “what degree of bitterness was desired”.

We are very proud of this result in particular, as the followers replied “Almost zero bitterness”, finding us in total agreement with them, intent on tasting more fragrant coffees rather than bitter and full-bodied.

Below we asked for the level of acidity, winning, as in the first case, the item “Medium acid”.

Finally, the last question concerned the desired aromatic notes, including “fresher and sweeter notes of citrus and fruit” or “more rounded, of chocolate and caramel”.

The winner was the second.

All these data were then delivered to Paolo and Andrea, the roasters at Caffè Ernani, who immediately set to work to create the blend that reflected all desired parameters.

The creation of the blend

The creation of the blend was more complicated than we expected, as we wanted to offer a Premium, which truly reflects 100% the characteristics you desire and, above all, which is different from all the other Ernani blends, not a simple reblending of coffees already in our experience…

We started by taking one of our single origin coffee still not present in other blends, namely Guatemala, combining it with another Arabica coffees that could give a good sweetness and a soft acidity, however, realizing that these two coffees together did not give the desired result.

We then mixed them with 4 other Arabica origins, but we weren’t there yet.

We had to change our main subject, so we went from Guatemala to Colombia, then joining it to the Indian Kalledevarapura.

Perfect, the base was there: sweetness and creaminess, but lack of originality.

Thus Guatemala returns and… yes, now here we are!

The sweetness and creaminess is now balanced by the acidity of the fruit!

However, that rounder note of chocolate was still missing, and perhaps a little more body.

And this is where the robusta came in!

Initially we did not want to insert it, to reflect the request for “almost zero bitterness”, but trying was wort it!

And fortunately…

It was exactly what the blend lacked: Congo Mombasa, which thanks to its high quality combined with the Medium Roast, does not release any bitter notes, making acidity and sweetness prevail, giving body and cream together.

Here is finally presented the blend “My coffee”, because anyone who orders it, will really order “His coffee”!

Sensory description

Will you feel on the palate?

The blend is composed of 85% Arabica coffee and 15% Robusta coffee.

The prevailing taste is, as already mentioned, the sweetness of fruit and chocolate, balanced by a soft freshness given by citrus fruits, festing with aromatic intensity and creaminess!
The part of Arabica coffee is made up specifically of:
  • Colombiano Supremo Finca la Meseta, with notes of fruit and almonds;
  • Indian Kalledevarapura Estate, creamy and round coffee, with sweet aromas of chocolate, vanilla and fruit;
  • Guatemala SHB Huehuetenango Specialty Coffee, intense and fruity, with a good freshness given by the notes of red fruits.

While the part of Robusta is entirely made of the single origin Congo Mombasa, an excellent intense robust, creamy and full-bodied, with an aftertaste of dark chocolate.

Where to try and buy it

The “My coffee” blend will be available at the Torrefazione Ernani in Milan where you will be able to taste it extracted in espresso. It will also be possible to buy it there for later home use, both in beans and ground at the moment, tailored to your needs!

For those who cannot go to Milan, Il Mio Caffè will also be present on the caffeernani.com website, in the 250g format in beans or ground, for mocha, espresso or filter.

Apri il prodotto!

Attention!

It will be available for a very limited period of 3 days, i.e. only on the occasion of the International Coffee Day, on 1, 2 and 3 October.

We can’t wait to let you taste it and receive your feedback!

Ideation

Paul, as Ernani’s roaster, was looking for an intense blend with a nice bitterness, suitable to please lovers of dark, full-bodied coffee, rich in caffeine, thus energizing and perfect to start the day.

That is why he decided to include only African robusta coffees. The result was to be a blend where bitterness and intensity prevailed over sweetness and acidity.

Composition of the mixture

The blend is composed, as mentioned above, of only robusta (Canephora) species coffees.

You will find specifically:

  • Congo HTM/N/M natural, coming from Mombasa northeast region, 600m above sea level;
  • Tanzania Superior 16 natural, from the Bukoba region, 800m above sea level;
  • Uganda 18 natural, coming from Mendo / Masaka, between 600 and 800m asl.

Sensory description

The taste is an intense coffee with notes of bitter cocoa, pepper, nuts and licorice.

Occasion of use

The amount of caffeine present makes it perfect as a morning coffee for an energizing breakfast.

Suitable for

The Stretto is therefore suitable for you if you are looking for an intense, creamy, full-bodied coffee with good bitterness but still leaving no unpleasant taste in your mouth.

Medium Toast

This is then enhanced by the Medium Toasting, Ernani’s distinctive signature on all its products, carried out separately for each single-origin.

The Medium Roast brings out all the natural flavors and merits of carefully selected raw coffee to the fullest, bringing the best of each bean into the cup.

It also never makes the coffee overly bitter, so it is perfect to enjoy without sugar. Despite the strong intensity brought by the robustas, the coffee is yes more bitter than Ernani’s other blends, but it is still not annoying and most importantly, it never tastes burnt!

Methods of extraction

Here are tips on the four possible macro draws:

  • Espresso
  • Mocha
  • Paper filter
  • Capsules

I anticipate that Strait makes the best of espresso and capsules.

Espresso

Espresso extract we recommend a dose of 7 g per person to achieve an intense and creamy cup, and a water temperature of 94°C.

A distinct aroma of bitter cocoa and nuts can be perceived on the nose, which we then find on the palate.

The acidity here is absent, while the bitterness is well present, with notes of bitter cocoa, pepper and licorice.

Overall, it is a good morning wake-up coffee.

Mocha

It turns out a bit more bitter because of the extraction method and the associated high temperatures.

The acidities are completely absent, while the hint of cocoa is always present.

Paper Filter

When extracted in a filter, few scents and little intensity are perceived on the nose.

Indeed, it is not a coffee suitable for filter extractions, carrying slight woody notes.

Compared to other coffees, in filter it expresses an aromatic spectrum that is not very broad and not very pleasant.

Capsules

It is very similar to espresso, but differs in that it has less bitterness, thus being more balanced overall.

The Ernani Coffee Tasting Box, both beans and ground coffee, has arrived!

After the “20 capsule tasting box” with all our blends.

Vai alla confezione degustazione da 20 capsule!

And the “200 tasting experiences” package with 200 capsules of all flavors.

Vai alla confezione da 200 capsule!
It also came in both bean and ground format for mocha, espresso, paper filter, metal filter, and Napoletana.
Vai alla confezione degustazione di grani o macinato!
Why did we create the Tasting Box?

Thanks to your interactions with us and your messages, we have realized that choosing the right type of coffee for yourself the first time we ask questions like:

“are they more Arabica or Robusta?

What level of creaminess and aromaticity am I looking for?

Do I prefer a wide aromatic range or bitterness?”

It is not easy and I understand it well!

You select a new coffee brand that you want to try and land on the site in question.

Immediately we are bombarded with a thousand pieces of information and see a list of 10 or more different qualities of coffee–which one do I choose?

Well, Ernani’s Tasting Box serves to answer those very questions!

It does not aim to make you taste all Ernani Coffee, but it does aim to make you discover which type of coffee is most akin to your tastes and desires.

You will take a sensory journey among single-origins from different lands, intensely aromatic blends, and full-bodied, intense coffees!

Content

You will find 4 packs of coffee of 250g each:

  • 1 Social/eco sustainable coffee , perfect for delving into the world of coffee, discovering what can be hidden behind a “simple cup”!
  • 1 Single-origin or a 100% Arabica blend. , for the purpose of understanding what is meant by “pleasant acidity” in the cup, “aromatic intensity,” “wide aromatic range,” “smoothness” in body, and “delicacy” in aroma. You can thus take a trip around the world and savor the homeland of our carefully selected Arabica coffees!
  • 1 Blend with a higher percentage of arabica. , to see if the coffee best suited to your taste is yes one with good aromatic intensity and fragrance, but at the same time also expressing good body. All balanced by a slight bitterness brought by the robusta.
  • Finally 1 Blend with a higher percentage of robusta or even a 100% robusta blend , to discover this category of coffees that are intense, creamy, full-bodied, and above all with good bitterness and perfect for breakfasts, thanks to their high caffeine content.

*photo is not representative of the content, the inserted coffees may vary.

Result

With the Tasting Box you can definitively taste the 4 aroma spectrums of coffee!

From the most delicate and fragrant to the intense and creamy…

You will definitely try these flavors on your skin: you will have them all at home and have time to discover which category is most like you!

And it didn’t end there!

Once you discover your category, you can indulge and try new coffees within this group all the time!

To do this we thought of a gift for you who decide to buy it: inside the package you will find a postcard with a DISCOUNT CODE that you can use on your next purchase!

Interesting isn’t it?

I, Martina, believe so much in this product, because it is the key both to better understand our tastes and not through abstract words, but by tasting them firsthand, but also because it gives the possibility to get out of our box!

This is my personal experience: initially I didn’t drink coffee, because not knowing it, I thought it could only be bitter, and I don’t like bitterness.

As I studied and discovered the different varieties, I realized that I actually love coffee, you just have to know how to choose the right one!

In contrast, Luca, Ernani’s founding partner and sales agent, loved intense, black, creamy coffee as a boy, thinking everything else was “dirty water.” He, too, studied and tasted an infinity of ever-changing coffees and realized that he actually likes both intensity and sweetness and freshness, depending on the occasion.

So this product gives us a way to experiment, to open our minds and not stop at just habits–and that I think is an extraordinary thing!
Giving this drink a chance to vary makes it exceptional and opens the mind to a variety of realities as we discover the countries of production.

I hope this opinion also applies to you who are reading!

Ideation

Paul, as the roaster of Ernani, was looking for an intense blend with more bitterness than the other blends presented so far (Blue Diamond >>, Cheerful >>, Harmony >>), and energizing, thus perfect for starting the day.

All the while, however, always leaving that delicate freshness, given by the arabics present.

That is why he decided to include Central and South American Arabica coffees and some African robustas. The result had to be a blend where acidity, sweetness and bitterness did not overpower one another.

Composition of the mixture

The blend is composed of a higher percentage of robusta species coffee than arabica.

You will find specifically:

  • A delicate freshness brought by washed arabica: Colombia Supremo Finca la Meseta;
  • A good sweetness brought by natural arabica: the Brazilian Santo Cerrado Bom Chocolate;
  • And a slight bitterness brought by the robust naturals, from Congo, Tanzania and the Ivory Coast. This also brings good body to the cup, especially when extracted in espresso.

Sensory description

The taste is an intense coffee with distinct notes of cocoa, nuts and spices, all accompanied by a delicate fresh fruity note.

Occasion of use

The amount of caffeine present makes it perfect as a morning coffee for an energizing breakfast.

Suitable for

Vivace is therefore suitable for you if you are looking for an intense, creamy, full-bodied coffee with a pleasant bitterness and delicate fruity notes.

Medium Toast

This is then enhanced by the Medium Toasting, Ernani’s distinctive signature on all its products, carried out separately for each single-origin.

The Medium Roast brings out all the natural flavors and merits of carefully selected raw coffee to the fullest, bringing the best of each bean into the cup.

Finally, it never makes the coffee overly bitter, so it is perfect to enjoy without sugar.

Beware, however, that just as it enhances all the merits, it also enhances all the flaws, so one must start from a high quality raw material!

Methods of extraction

Here are tips on the four possible macro draws:

  • Espresso
  • Mocha
  • Paper filter
  • Capsules

I anticipate that the Vivace performs best in espresso and capsules.

Espresso

Espresso extract we recommend a dose of 7-7.5 g per person to obtain an intense and creamy cup, and a water temperature of 94°C.

A distinct cocoa and roasted aroma can be perceived on the nose, which we then find on the palate.

The acidity here is almost absent, recalling only some slight floral hints, while the bitterness is well present, though never annoying, with notes of bitter cocoa.

Overall, it is a good morning wake-up coffee.

Mocha

It turns out a bit more bitter because of the extraction method and the associated high temperatures.

The acidities are completely absent, while the hint of cocoa is always present.

Paper Filter

When extracted in a filter, few scents and little intensity are perceived on the nose.

It is indeed not an exceptional coffee for filter extractions, but it has no negative notes either.

Compared to other coffees, it expresses little flavor spectrum in filter.

Capsules

It is very similar to espresso, but differs in greater sweetness and less bitterness, thus being more balanced overall.
