Roasted Robusta AA — The Bold Bean from Nirmal Coffee
A deep, full‑bodied coffee for espresso, cold brew and anyone who loves a powerful cup.
Introduction: Why Robusta?
Robusta (Coffea canephora) often plays second fiddle to Arabica, but when it’s sourced and roasted with care it offers something uniquely satisfying: higher caffeine, a heavier mouthfeel and a bold flavour profile that performs exceptionally well in espresso and cold brew. Nirmal Coffee’s Roasted Robusta AA is presented as a premium take on a traditionally utilitarian bean — selected for size, density and roast quality.
Meet Nirmal’s Roasted Robusta AA
- AA‑graded whole beans — larger, denser, and selected for quality.
- Small‑batch roasting to preserve the full‑body character of the bean.
- Designed for espresso, cold brew and milk‑forward drinks that need backbone and crema.
What to Expect: Flavour & Body
These Robusta beans deliver a heavier mouthfeel than most Arabicas, with a strong, earthy base and nutty or woody notes. Expect pronounced crema when pulled as espresso, and excellent presence in cold brew. The higher caffeine contributes to a pronounced energy‑kick that many lovers of strong coffee prize.
How to Brew Nirmal’s Roasted Robusta AA
- Espresso: Start with a standard double dose (e.g., 18 g in, 36–40 g out) and 25–30 seconds extraction. If bitterness dominates, adjust grind or shot time.
- Cold brew: Robusta’s body holds up well — try a 16–20 hour steep for a concentrated, bold cold brew.
- Blends: If 100% Robusta is too intense, mix ~70% Robusta with 30% Arabica to add brightness without losing strength.
- Storage: Keep beans airtight, cool and out of direct light. Freshness has a big impact on flavour and crema.
Why Choose Nirmal’s Robusta?
Nirmal positions this product as a specialty‑grade Robusta rather than a cheap filler. The AA grading, focused roasting and regional sourcing make it a compelling option for drinkers who want boldness with traceable quality.
Potential Drawbacks
- Can become bitter if over‑extracted — dial in grind and time carefully.
