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.

Roasted Robusta AA

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.

Body Heavy, syrupy mouthfeel — stands up to milk and longer extraction.
Crema Generous crema for espresso — great for single‑origin shots or blends.
Flavour Earthy, nutty, woody; less fruity brightness than typical Arabicas.

How to Brew Nirmal’s Roasted Robusta AA

  1. 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.
  2. Cold brew: Robusta’s body holds up well — try a 16–20 hour steep for a concentrated, bold cold brew.
  3. Blends: If 100% Robusta is too intense, mix ~70% Robusta with 30% Arabica to add brightness without losing strength.
  4. 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.
