About Cafe Bustelo
Café Bustelo has been a staple in Latin American kitchens since 1928, originating from the passion of Gregorio Bustelo in New York’s Spanish Harlem. Its signature dark roast Arabica blend is finely ground for maximum extraction, producing a robust coffee with chocolatey undertones and a lingering sweetness – no bitterness here. Available in classic blue tins, it's vacuum-packed to lock in freshness, making it ideal for UK homes seeking that genuine espresso punch without a fancy machine.

Perfect for daily brews, pair it with warm milk for a creamy Cuban coffee or enjoy it black as a ristretto-style shot. It's versatile too – sprinkle over tiramisu for an authentic twist or use in affogato desserts. Health-conscious? Café Bustelo offers decaf options with the same bold profile, minus the caffeine jitters. Storage is simple: keep the tin in a cool, dry cupboard away from light to preserve its aroma for weeks.

Sourced directly for quality assurance, our Café Bustelo range brings New York-Cuban heritage to your doorstep. Elevate your coffee ritual with this affordable luxury – robust enough for milky lattes, pure enough for purists. UK customers rave about its value, with one tin brewing up to 100 cups. Dive into the tradition today and taste why it's a cult favourite among baristas and home brewers alike.
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.
