Superbar Crema – red

Gorilla Superbar Crema, the Italian classic from the house of Joerges

Gorilla Superbar Crema is a robust espresso blend from the family-run roastery Joerges, made of 80 percent Arabica and 20 percent Robusta beans, dark roasted and low in acidity. Not a mild breakfast coffee, but an all-rounder with a dense, hazelnut-brown crema for an espresso experience just like in Italy.

The Gorilla Superbar Crema brews a powerful espresso and is a classic from the coffee roastery A. Joerges in Obertshausen near Frankfurt. A blend of 80 percent Arabica and 20 percent Robusta, dark roasted, with chocolatey and nutty notes and a fine honey sweetness. Let yourself be surprised by its exceptionally stable, hazelnut-brown crema, which lasts until the very last sip.

Chocolatey, nutty, with a hint of honey

In terms of taste, the Superbar Crema shows chocolatey and nutty depth, accompanied by a subtle honey sweetness and a hint of berries that round off its character.

With an intensity of 8 out of 10, it is strong but not harsh, dark roasted and low in acidity. The nutty note in particular stands out in the finish and pleases the palate. This allows its aroma to carry through milk, remaining present in a cappuccino or latte macchiato.

Its particularly stable, foamy crema is its trademark – so the superlative in its name is well-deserved. Chocolatey, nutty, and full-bodied, it stays consistent in the cup until the final sip.

Roasted by variety, then combined into a blend

The beans for the Superbar Crema come from controlled growing regions in Central and South America and are roasted by variety at Joerges before being combined into the blend.

They mature in the drum for up to 20 minutes at 180 to 220 degrees Celsius. The longer and gentler this process, the rounder the chocolatey-nutty aroma and the more stable the crema. Master roaster Alexandr Beldnov oversees every batch, and only after roasting do the 80 percent Arabica and 20 percent Robusta unite to form this powerful classic.

The high Arabica content provides aroma and finesse, while the Robusta provides body and creates that hazelnut-brown crema reminiscent of a good espresso from an Italian bar. This creates the balance that makes the Superbar Crema a reliable daily classic.

Good coffee for everyone since 2004

Gorilla is the house brand of the family-run roastery A. Joerges, founded in 2004 and now at home all over Europe.

As early as 1847, the firm in Frankfurt am Main was trading in fine delicacies before the Hühsam family took over in 1982 – today, Roman and Tim Hühsam lead the company. "Good coffee for everyone," as Heinz Hühsam once concisely described his vision, still applies today, and the family supports the Mondberge initiative for the growing regions of their beans.

If you prefer something a bit rounder or more refined, you will find the right variety in the Gorilla range with the mild Kaffeehaus Mischung or the floral Crema No. 1.

The hazelnut-brown crema comes from the portafilter

Classically prepared as an espresso from a portafilter machine, its hazelnut-brown crema is at its best. It is just as reliable in a fully automatic coffee machine and also performs well in a moka pot. For cappuccino and latte macchiato, it is best to dose it a little stronger, so that the chocolatey-nutty note carries reliably through the milk. Espresso just like in Italy.
