Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Café Bustelo coffee unique?
Café Bustelo stands out with its dark roast espresso grind, inspired by Cuban coffee traditions. It brews a thick, velvety crema with rich chocolate notes and no acidity, perfect for strong brews like café cubano. The vacuum-sealed tins ensure every cup tastes freshly roasted.
How should I brew Café Bustelo?
Use a moka pot, stovetop espresso maker, or French press for best results. Add one heaped tablespoon per cup, brew strong, and dilute with hot milk to taste for cortadito or café con leche. Avoid paper filters to retain its full-bodied oils.
Is Café Bustelo suitable for all coffee machines?
Yes, its fine grind works brilliantly in espresso machines, but it's also ideal for manual methods like AeroPress or drip if adjusted. For pod machines, it's not compatible, but the tins offer great value for traditional brewing.
Does Café Bustelo offer decaffeinated options?
Absolutely, the decaf version maintains the bold flavour and aroma through a Swiss Water Process, free from chemicals. It's a top pick for evening indulgence without compromising on taste.
How long does Café Bustelo stay fresh?
Unopened tins last up to two years; once opened, store airtight in a cool place and use within a month for peak freshness. The robust packaging minimises staleness compared to bag-packed coffees.
