Classic Espresso or 100% Arabica: Which Ferrara Is Yours?

Walk into most coffee shops today and you’ll face a wall of choices. We went the other way. We don’t offer many options — we offer the right ones. Four lines, each with a clear personality.

Classic Espresso — the flavour we grew up with

This is the heart of Ferrara Caffè: the cup you’d be served standing at the counter of a bar in Northern Italy.

• In the cup: bold, full-bodied, with notes of dark chocolate and a dense, persistent crema.
• Acidity: low. Sweetness and body lead.
• Best for: espresso, ristretto, cappuccino and every milk drink, and the moka pot.
• Choose it if: you like coffee that is rich, round and unmistakable — and you often add milk.

Bold. Rich. Unmistakable.

100% Arabica — for those seeking complexity

Built on high-grown Arabica, this line shows a different side of coffee.

• In the cup: floral and citrusy, with notes of jasmine, bergamot and yellow fruit and a delicate sweetness.
• Acidity: lively but balanced.
• Best for: espresso drunk black, pour-over and filter, and anyone who wants to taste the difference between origins.
• Choose it if: you drink your coffee without milk and enjoy discovering layers in the cup.

Limited Editions — when they’re gone, they’re really gone

Single origins from exceptional farms, roasted in small batches to preserve their soul. Each edition tells the story of one place and one harvest.

• In the cup: it changes with every release — that’s the point.
• Best for: pour-over and espresso, tasted slowly and without milk.
• Choose it if: you’re curious, and you’d rather have something rare than something familiar.

Cold Brew Reserve — for the night

The Night line: a slow, concentrated extraction built for mixology, lounges and hotel bars.

• In the cup: cacao, caramel and a silky body.
• Best for: cocktails — starting with the signature Ferrara Espresso Martini — and cold serves.
• Choose it if: your coffee moment starts after sunset.

A quick way to decide

• Mostly cappuccino or latte? Classic Espresso.
• Mostly black espresso, and you like it sweet and heavy? Classic Espresso.
• Black espresso or filter, and you like it bright and aromatic? 100% Arabica.
• You want to be surprised? The current Limited Edition.
• Coffee in a cocktail glass? Cold Brew Reserve.

Whatever you choose, check the date

Every package carries its roast date and its tasting notes. No secrets, just transparency. For the best experience, enjoy your coffee within two to three weeks of the roast date.
