Italian Vacations is the perfect espresso blend for those dreaming about their next trip to the Bel Paese, or for anybody who prefers the traditional Italian espresso style. It packs a bit more punch than our other blends because of its slightly higher caffeine content. The delightful mouthfeel and abundant crema profile is similar to our Crema Dreams blend, but Italian Vacations brings unique flavor notes of pecan, molasses, and caramel. You won't regret this, or your next actual Italian vacation! 

12oz. Bag of whole beans.

Ristretto

  • Aim for an output of 27 grams in 24-26 seconds
  • If espresso comes out too slow, grind COARSER; if too fast, grind FINER

  • Aim for an output of 36 grams in 28-32 seconds
  • If espresso comes out too slow, grind COARSER; if too fast, grind FINER
