Saka Classic Bar is a traditional Neapolitan-style espresso blend consisting of 30% Arabica and 70% Robusta beans. It is specifically roasted in Naples, Italy, to deliver a full-bodied, syrupy texture with a bold flavor profile defined by dark chocolate and toasted hazelnut.Designed for those who crave the "classic Italian bar" experience.
Why Choose Saka Classic Bar?
-
Traditional Drum Roasted coffee
Unlike modern light-roast specialty coffees, Saka adheres to the "rotating drum" roasting method. This ensures the beans are heated evenly caramelizing the sugars to eliminate bitterness while maximizing body. -
Optimized for Home Espresso Machines
Saka Classic Bar is famous among home baristas for being incredibly "forgiving." Whether you are using a lever machine (like a La Pavoni), a semi-automatic (Sage/Breville), or a Moka Pot, this blend is easy to dial in and consistently produces a professional-grade crema. -
The Ultimate Milk Companion
Because of its high Robusta content and chocolatey base, the flavor of the Classic Bar doesn't disappear when mixed with milk. It is the ideal choice for a morning cappuccino or a bold flat white.
