Cocoa Classico

Cocoa, hazelnut, orange — Frio's richest roast, built for milk drinks and espresso.

Cocoa Hazelnut Orange Best for: Espresso
£17.50
About this bean

Cocoa Classico is the roast we developed for people who want their coffee to taste like dessert. It's darker than Tierra Nueva and El Paisa, built to hold up against milk, with an orange note that comes through best pulled short and strong.

Best brewed as

Espresso

This is the one roast in the lineup developed for heat, not ice. The extra development brings the cocoa and hazelnut forward and gives it the body to cut through steamed milk.

How to brew it

The perfect Cocoa Classico espresso.

01

Grind & dose

Grind fine — like table sugar. Dose 18g into your portafilter for a double shot.

02

Extract

Aim for around 36g of espresso out in 25–30 seconds, at roughly 93–94°C.

03

Adjust

Shot running too fast and sharp? Grind finer. Too slow and bitter? Grind coarser.

04

Serve

Drink as a straight shot, or steam milk to taste for a latte or flat white.
