Ground coffee for intense moka 250 gr

Wake up every morning to the unmistakable aroma of real moka coffee. The Intenso Ground Moka Coffee by Bastimento is the ideal choice for those seeking an energy boost without sacrificing aromatic finesse. Packaged in a convenient 250-gram format, this blend is specifically designed to ensure impeccable extraction with your traditional coffee maker.

Why choose Bastimento Intenso Coffee? 

• Our secret blend combines the elegance of'Arabica (80%) with the strength of Robusta (20%). The result? A full-bodied, creamy, and persistent coffee, characterized by toasted notes and a chocolaty aftertaste that envelops the palate.
  • 80% Fine Arabica: Gives the coffee a rich, sweet aromatic profile with a pleasant fruity acidity.
  • 20% Selected Robusta: Provides the right body, a dense hazelnut-colored crema, and that touch of vigor that makes every cup unforgettable.
  • Ideal Grind for Moka: The grind size is calibrated to the millimeter to prevent the coffee from flowing too quickly or, conversely, burning during extraction.

Tips for a Perfect Moka

The roaster's secret: Fill the moka boiler with cold water up to just below the safety valve (without exceeding it). Fill the filter level with the Intenso Ground Coffee Bastimento, creating a slight mound but without pressing. Close tightly and heat on low. Turn off the flame as soon as the coffee starts to gurgle to preserve the more delicate aromas.

How to store ground coffee for moka after opening, expert tips

Before inserting the tea pod, perform a brief rinse of the machine by letting out only hot water. This step eliminates any coffee residue and warms the cup, preventing thermal shock and ensuring a pure, rich, and uncompromising espresso.

Once the package is opened, ground coffee comes into contact with air and begins to rapidly lose its intense aroma. To preserve its freshness and ensure a perfect moka every time, just follow a few simple rules.

The ideal container: Airtight and opaque

Do not leave the coffee in its original open bag; the best way to store it is to transfer it to an airtight jar (with a rubber seal).

• Choose neutral materials: Dark glass and ceramic are perfect because they do not alter the flavors.
• Avoid light: The container should be opaque to protect the coffee from sunlight.

The perfect place: Cool and dry

The number one enemy of coffee is humidity, followed by temperature fluctuations.

• Store the jar in a pantry or in a closed kitchen cabinet, away from heat sources like the oven, the stovetop, or the refrigerator.

The false myth of the refrigerator

Many recommend storing coffee in the fridge, but this habit presents two major risks:

• Humidity and condensation: Every time you take the jar out of the fridge, the thermal shock creates condensation inside, accelerating the oxidation of the coffee.
• Odor absorption: Coffee is hygroscopic, which means it behaves like a sponge and risks absorbing the odors of other foods present in the refrigerator.

Extra advice: To enjoy the coffee at its best organoleptic properties, the ideal is to consume the package within 2 or 3 weeks from opening.
