Caffè Borbone Miscela DEK Decaffeinated Whole Bean Coffee 2.2 lb – Dark Roast, Chocolatey Nutty Espresso Blend

Caffè Borbone Miscela DEK is a decaffeinated dark‑roast whole bean espresso blend delivering chocolatey, nutty flavor and crema without the caffeine.

Packaged in a single 1‑kilogram (2.2 lb) bag, this Italian‑style blend pairs carefully selected Arabica and Robusta beans that were decaffeinated after roasting to preserve taste. Sourced from Africa and Asia, the beans are roasted to a dark profile to emphasize rich, bittersweet notes ideal for espressos, moka pots, and full‑bodied brewed coffee. The whole‑bean format keeps oils and volatile aromas sealed until you grind, so you can tailor the grind size to your brewing method for fresher, more flavorful cups.

What flavor profile should I expect from this decaf dark roast?

Miscela DEK favors deep, roasted tones with a chocolate backbone and a hint of toasted nuts. The dark roast reduces acidity and brings forward bittersweet and caramelized nuances while the Robusta contribution helps produce a denser body and more persistent crema.

• Primary notes: dark chocolate and roasted nuts
• Body: full, rounded mouthfeel suitable for espresso
• Acidity: low, typical of darker roasts
• Crema: improved by Robusta in the blend

How can I brew Caffè Borbone Miscela DEK for the best results?

This whole‑bean decaf is versatile: grind fresh to match your device and use filtered water for the cleanest extraction. For espresso use a fine grind and 25–30 seconds extraction; for drip or pour‑over choose a medium grind; for French press and moka opt for coarser and medium‑fine respectively.

• Espresso: fine grind, 18–20g dose, 25–30s extraction
• Moka pot: medium‑fine grind, firm tamp in filter basket
• French press: coarse grind, 4 minutes steep
• Pour‑over/drip: medium grind, even pour, 3–4 minute brew
