Why choose 78/22
For customers who want stronger coffee without sourness
78/22 is the controlled-strength option in the Le Piantagioni blend range. It is stronger and fuller than mild Arabica blends, but still smooth enough for daily espresso and milk drinks. Choose it when you want body, crema, low acidity and a long finish without going into rough, burnt or overly aggressive coffee.
Strong, not rough
Gives the stronger Italian espresso character many home and office drinkers want, while staying controlled and not aggressively harsh.
Low-acid comfort
A practical choice for customers who dislike sour, sharp or fruity coffee and prefer a deeper espresso profile.
Milk-drink backbone
Full body and Robusta structure help the coffee hold up in cappuccino, latte and flat white instead of disappearing into milk.
CSC certified quality
A certified Italian blend for customers who want stronger coffee with better sourcing, quality control and consistency than ordinary beans.
Taste profile
Intense taste, vanilla notes and full body
78/22 is built around intensity and texture. It is not a light floral coffee. It is made for customers who want a satisfying espresso with fuller body, warm vanilla notes and a finish that stays after the sip.
Intense
A stronger espresso profile for customers who want their coffee to feel present, especially in milk drinks.
Vanilla
A warm aromatic note that softens the intensity and keeps the blend more refined than a basic strong roast.
Full body
A heavier mouthfeel gives espresso, cappuccino and latte a more satisfying texture.
Best suited for
Home espresso and office users who prefer stronger coffee
78/22 is a good choice if your usual complaint is that coffee tastes too light, too thin or too sour. It works well for espresso, cappuccino, latte and office coffee where a fuller-bodied profile is preferred.
The buying logic
More body than mild blends, smoother than extreme strong coffee
Some strong coffees become rough, bitter or tiring after a few cups. 78/22 is for customers who want strength with control: full body, low acidity, a long aftertaste and enough smoothness for regular daily drinking.
