How to choose coffee? Coffee is not just a drink. It is a moment, a ritual, an aroma and a character that define our morning and our day. Choosing the right coffee means knowing exactly how you want to continue your day - calmly, energetically, intensely or lightly.

Dolcevita - shares an in-depth guide to help you find the perfect blend for your cooking style.

Espresso - Italian art in one sip

Espresso is the heart of Italian coffee, a concentrated form of energy. Its preparation requires a perfectly balanced grind (Dolcevita offers a free grinding service) - not too fine (like a Turkish coffee), not too coarse (for a moka).

What to consider:

Choose a 100% Arabica blend if you want a refined, aromatic, and elegant acidity.
If you prefer an intense body and a dark, chocolatey tone - try Arabica + Robusta blends.
The roasting level should be medium-dark so that the crema has a bright amber layer.

Dolcevita's tip: Ideally, grind your coffee a few minutes before brewing or store it in an airtight container. This way, you'll preserve the essential oils that define the taste and aroma of a true Italian espresso.

Turkish coffee - a fragrant classic and an intense feeling

Turkish coffee is a culture that has survived for centuries. Its preparation requires very finely ground beans (Dolcevita offers a free grinding service) - practically powder-like, as the preparation is done by boiling directly in water. The finer the grind, the deeper the coffee's aromatic oils are released.

What you need to know when choosing:

Choose blends with high-quality Arabica - they create a rich but delicate aroma.
If you like a stronger and longer taste, you can choose Folcevita's balanced Arabica-Robusta mix ( GRAN GUSTO 70/30 or INTENSO 50/50 ).
The roast level should be dark or medium-dark , as this enhances the body and flavor.

Moka - intermediate calm and harmony

The moka-makineta, in Georgia, is often overlooked, but in fact creates a wonderfully rich and harmonious drink. It requires medium-ground coffee (Dolcevita offers a free grinding service for mokas) because the water is moved by steam pressure, but more gently than in an espresso machine.

Grain selection principle:

Medium-roasted blends are best, as they maintain the natural balance of flavors.
Arabica beans from the Kenyan and Colombian regions provide a delicate acidity and floral aroma, while Brazilian beans add nutty, cocoa tones.
It is important that the water is not too hot - otherwise the coffee will become bitter.

Dolcevita's tip: Moka is ideal for those who want the strength of espresso and the smoothness of filter coffee in one cup.

Instant coffee - speed without sacrificing quality

Instant coffee is designed for those days when time is limited, but taste is still important. Its quality depends on the beans used and the production process - Dolcevita INTENSE instant coffee offers you a strong coffee aroma and a balanced taste.

When choosing, consider:

Do not use boiling water (wait 30–40 seconds after boiling).
Optionally, add a small amount of milk for flavor.

Dolcevita's tip: You can also use instant coffee in desserts - you can use it to create aromatic tiramisu or coffee cream.

Conclusion - Your cup, your choice

Choosing coffee is not just about determining the taste - it is an expression of the rhythm of your life. In the DOLCEVITA assortment you will find the blends that match your mood and taste: the depth of Turkish, the elegance of espresso, the balance of moka or the simplicity of instant - all of them are different, but they are the same path - towards real Italian coffee DOLCEVITA
