Description

raw green bean Green coffee is raw Roast prior to consumption

These beans can become the perfect pairing with milk-based drinks to create an incredibly rich blend. Why not drink it straight, you ask? Well, let’s face it––most espresso machines in the USA are used to make yourself an espresso to pour into your favorite concoction, not to drink a straight shot! After all, has anyone ever said their shot of pure espresso was as delectable as a latte? A pleasant, mouth-watering decadence is what we all crave.

Our Onobeano Latte was born from several experiments to find the perfect flavor and body––the ideal base for iconic lattes that have become a ritual for coffee lovers all over the country! Sweet, chocolaty, and delightfully complex, the blend truly blooms when paired with milk. No bitterness, no-nonsense. We were wowed at the results and reached our masterpiece––even a pure shot of Onobeano was miles ahead of your everyday espresso. It simply had to be shared with the world and become espresso aficionado-approved!

Try this blend and see if it increases your enjoyment of your favorite espresso drink too. Onobeano's Latte Blend - also good in other espresso drinks.

Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!

This is a wonderful blend!!! It is very versatile. I did two different roasts with this: Full City and Vienna At Fully City, this is bright and chocolaty with some fruit - almost like a sweet Guatemalan with a dash of a Brazil plus something else for highlight. At Vienna (and I roasted on the dark side of Vienna) more nuts and chocolate came out while the fruit and brightness receded. The body became much fuller. No bitterness at all!!! I wish all major espresso chains carried this blend!!! You can roast it dark with out it becoming bitter. This is really a two for one blend: you can roast it lighter for a bright fruit laced latté or darker for a more full bodied chocolate nut latté.

I don't know what happened. I thought I ordered 2-5lb. bags in an attempt to avoid the absolutely horriid and detestable burlap, and somehow I ended up with a single 10, in an extremely hairy and lint laden molting sack. I don't know if it was my fault in the ordering process or if the order was consolidated due to being the same bean... Either way my product is contaminated with foreign particulate, and hairs. Maybe it's not a big deal for some, but its hard to see, pick out, flammable, and not a part of any flavor profile, I wish to consume. 4 stars for the blend itself. Everyone in my family are strictly dark roast drip coffee people, and this blend is my family's favorite, though I recommend at least a week of post-roast aging for anything darker than a Vienna roast, to let the aroma and such bounce back after the brutal temperature treatment. I personally prefer a middle of first crack floral Ethiopian, but living one's life is not just one's own affair. So, I tend to drink whatever my family prefers. 5 stars on the shipping. It was right on time. 1 star for the packaging that has left my sweater, table, counter, floor, and beans covered in... burlap molt.

I usually don't write the reviews. But I had to for this blend. I have tried over 25 different coffees. But Colombian coffee has been my go to for my Mocha/Cappuccino in the morning. If you are like me who drinks Mocha/Cappuccino everyday, then this blend is a must. I had enough complexity and depth that still through the milk. I use Behmor 1600+. Took it up to the point when second crack started. Immediately took it out and let it cool down outside.

I am not a coffee connoisseur. Even though I use the model of Hottop roaster that can be connected to a computer and enable one to alter the fan speed, temperature, length of roast, etc., I just use the built-in roast profile. The beans get roasted to the beginning of second crack and are dumped at 402°. They are dark, but not oily. They then get ground in a Mazzer Mini grinder and I pull the shot with an Olympia Cremina bought when it still cost about $350, not its current ridiculous price of $3600. I make two cappuccinos for myself and my wife every morning. I rarely make an espresso. This blend makes a tasty cappuccino. I intend to stay with it.

Wow, this is a great blend. I roast on a stovetop with a whirlypop and it always takes a bit of experimentation to figure out the right heat levels for a new bean. My first roast with this coffee was very underwhelming given the high rating but the reviews were so good I was determined to give it at least one more go. I am so glad that I did, this blend is amazing, and now I'm inspired to experiment more to see what else I can do with this blend. I'm actually using this as pour over coffee as I don't particularly enjoy espresso, it's still outstanding and is delicious (as the latte descriptor suggests) with a little cream mixed in. The results are wonderfully smooth, chocolaty and delicious with just a hit of dark chocolate bitterness hidden in the aftertaste. Amazing. This blend is definitely on my "buy again" list.

Can’t go wrong. I switch between this and the Ferdelance. Some days one tastes better than the other but I’m never disappointed. As others noted, there are a variety of beans in here so when roasting I wouldn’t give it too much heat right away so that everything can warm up together but I have not had the final inconsistencies at end of roast.

I’ve been a CBC customer for a couple of years now, trying out a number of their offerings. The bean I liked best early on is no longer available. I recently decided to try some of their own blends - actually all of them now - and have found this one the one I go back to most often. I have roasted it light, medium, and dark, brewed it French Press and drip, served it hot and cold. Overall it is the most consistently good cup of all the other beans I have so far tried; even I don’t seem able to screw it up. I like it best roasted medium, AeroPress brewed, served hot: my now “every morning” cup.

While you say this is an espresso coffee, I did pour through and we really love it! It is chocolatey without being overpowering. Roasted as a dark roast, it is just perfect. I will be ordering again!

This is our go to blend for Lattes in our super automatic Jura machine. Roasted with our Sonofresco roaster. Retail espresso stands can't deliver what this blend gives us. Chocolate and nutty. Please continue to offer this.

I have a Gene Cafe and need help on roasting this blend. I roasted at 482 to full city (19 min) and it was oily and looked like carbon. Any suggestions from other roasters?

It's one of our favorites. I use a Behmor and do a full city roast. My coffee of the morning is a latte and this blend makes a smooth but full bodied drink. We love it.

We've tried a bunch of beans and blends for our espresso machine. My husband prefers to have a latte every morning and I prefer to have an americano. Most can do one or the other. This is one of the only blends we've purchased that satisfies both.

My favorite blend, which includes the rare and delicious monsooned malabar beans which give this blend its distinctive vibe. For those in the know, it is similar to Seattle's Espresso Vivace Dolce Blend. On my GeneCafe here's my roasting recipe (note that my room temp usually starts around 68 or 70 degrees): * preheat at 450 for ~ 5 mins * 450 from 0-4 mins * 430 from 4-7 mins (allows for some extra sugar development) * 450 from 7-13 mins * Cool down from 13 mins Watch closely toward the end - if things get dark too quickly reduce end time and cool sooner!

I was surprised that I need to sort out the beans. The beans are tiny, twisted and I have to take out a lot of beans that are not healthy/not good. ordering from CA with high price and shipping coast. not sure if I will order it again. I have a higher standard for a good coffee. The taste is ok.

I realize they want to keep the blend a secret but it's too bad they won't tell us at least the regions they blended together. Just for my education I'd like to know what the whitish beans are. My wife and friends that I've roasted these for, really enjoy the taste they get from their espresso machines and pour-overs. I like the taste but it can make me jumpy/over-caffeinated.

My grandchildren and I have set up a small ( very small ) coffee business. We are providing freshly roasted coffee to our customers ( mainly family :) ). This has become our go to bean. The coffee drinkers love this roast! We do a darker roast and a lighter roast for specific preferences and both are great! LOVE CBC for their great product and amazing customer service.

THINK MILK CHOCOLATE. Reported as a blend aimed at milk based coffee drinks - this one hit the mark. As a shot, it is sharp and flavorful but added to milk the creamy texture of milk chocolate blooms. Roasted to 260 degrees C (14 min) using a Kaldi Mini over gas flame.

I’ve roasted w this twice now and it’s amazing. I’m using a Hottop and use their setting/program that they recommend in the back of the manuel where I drop in the beans after one min of the roaster in cooking mode. This allows the beans to be hit w a higher heat right away. The machine finishes around 20% heat and 100% fan. I let it roast up till about 395 bean degrees. If you do t roast this till about second crack the lighter beans seem to be a little undercooked. I get amazing crema w this variety. I’d love to hear how others are roasting it.

If you like a chocolate flavor for a Latte this is the blend. I have tried to duplicate it by blending other beans, but haven't achieved this great taste. My wife won't buy Lattes from espresso stands anymore. She hasn't found one that compares to this roast in my Sonofressco and brewing in our Jura super automatic. Whatever you do, don't discontinue this blend.

Use a Behmor 1600, roasted on P1+1:30, tasted a bit on the bitter side but could detect the undertones of a chocolate tickle. Plan to do the next roast on P1+1:00 to see if that will give me the sweetness I am looking for. This is my first foray into roasting a blend, have only tried single origin so far. Am excited about the prospect finding the right roast for this blend. Have not found that yet so no Love It till I do.

Definitely on my rotation list. Good stand alone coffee as well. I needed a coffee that would stand up to almond milk and hot chocolate and this one wins the prize. A favorite for sure!

The Obeano blend is my mainstay. I think I've tried every Chocolaty/Buttery item in the the Matrix, and I always fall back to the Obeano blend. I'm trying a new one this week to see if it is as good, we'll see. Al Flowers Central Virginia Piedmont

Recently I bought 2 pounds to give this blend a try. I make 2 drinks each for my wife and I each morning. Here's what I make: 2 ounces of hot water - pull a 2 ounce shot on top of that in my Mini-Vivaldi. Then I steam about 5 ounces of milk and split it evenly between the 2 drinks. So, it's an Americano or a long black with steamed milk on top. This makes a first class drink. I roasted this blend about 30 seconds into 2nd crack in my RK drum.

This blend is exactly as advertised. Sweet and chocolately and yummy. I'm a confessed latte lover and this blend is so sweet, I now use far less milk in my morning latte than I used to with other espresso blends.
Your words make me feel proud - mahalo nui loa "anonymous"!!

I'm a coffee hound. I order beans from all over the world and make my own blends for espresso. I tried the Onobeano Blend and love the taste and texture. It's very well-rounded, smooth, with a wonderful complex bittersweet finish. Thank you Friends at CBC.

This is my first home roasted coffee, and it is Delicious!!! I drink cappuccino, and I could never find a bold enough flavor without introducing bitterness. I roast in a popper for 8 minutes to get a nice French roast and out comes perfection!!! I am from New Orleans and always drank coffee and chicory, but this blend is better without it. It makes Perfect Cappuccino....MMMMM

Holy cow is this good! I am a total coffee roasting snob and even on my first batch - ever - I made a latte that was ten times better than anything I had done before. Its a fresh, smooth, flavorful latte. Great side benefit... my house now smells like chocolate and fresh roasted coffee!

Found this batch to be too varied in color of beans raw as well as roasted. There were pale yellow to white beans in raw form. After roasting the output is all over the roasted range and not uniform at all. Some are City+ others in the same batch don't hit first crack.

My guess is that there is a LOT of robusta beans in here. If like to find out. It definitely has GREAT crema, and the pull is beautiful. It was roasted to FC+ over 18 min. I'll hold off on giving my opinion on flavor, though first blush says I'm not impressed with its level of chocolate for a blend that speaks of chocolates. Lastly, the bean content was visually curious, with beans that appeared to be substandard.
