Kimbo Caffè - THE TRUE NEAPOLITAN COFFEE - FROM BEANS TO PODS, AND CAPSULES

Kimbo Caffè: the Neapolitan coffee gone global

Kimbo Caffè, originally known as Caffè Do Brasil, began with a small workshop and a big vision: to export the meticulous passion for traditional Neapolitan coffee worldwide. Driven by this passion and goal, the small family-owned business quickly transformed into a major Made in Italy brand.

Passion, tradition, and innovative ideas turned this small corner of Naples into an internationally renowned company in just over 60 years.

Coffee in the shadow of Vesuvius

Kimbo was born from the vision of the Rubino family, who, like many other great roasters, started from humble beginnings. From the 1960s to today, over 60 years later, the company has grown rapidly, competing with local market giants and securing the second position in consumer preferences.

The Rubino family's ambition is fueled by the unique love Neapolitans have for the black brew: no one knows better how to turn coffee beans into black gold.

Kimbo Caffè follows its own philosophy, favoring Arabica beans in its blends for a more delicate and smooth coffee, naturally complemented with select Robusta varieties. The beans are sourced directly from their countries of origin and, after meticulous quality checks, are sent to the workshop as samples, where further experts and tasters verify their properties and flavor.

A quality-focused supply chain

Kimbo Caffè is certified as one of the companies maintaining high control standards throughout its supply chain. From selecting the best varieties of beans, sourced locally by specialists sent to plantations, to professional tasters who give the green light to coffee batches.

The production process follows traditional roasting rules without compromising on modernity. Kimbo has a big vision.

The roasting company also supports small-scale farming, local producers, and the environment. Kimbo Integrity is the production line that selects coffee varieties produced in Rainforest Alliance-certified plantations, respecting local nature and preserving the land’s gifts.

Looking to the Future

Kimbo produces a wide array of products today. Customers can purchase whole bean packs, ground coffee, pods, and even capsules.

ESE pods are available in various blends in the 44 mm format (the most common) and are compostable, making them easy to recycle in line with environmental principles.

The capsules are compatible with the Nespresso system, offering versatility and a perfect solution for any setting, whether a bar, office, or home. The goal is to ensure the same quality in every cup, from the first to the last capsule, with consistent body, aroma, and texture.

A smart choice

Kimbo favors Arabica varieties, the most delicate coffee with the lowest caffeine content. This gives the coffee a smooth, pleasant taste that’s never too strong or harsh.

However, the blends still include a hint of Robusta. South American beans take the spotlight in the brand’s range, yet the roastery plays with bean varieties, experimenting to create new flavors and aromas, from traditionally intense to creamy, fragrant decaf options.

Despite this choice, the roasting company plays with the different varieties, to experiment and create new flavours and aromas, ranging from the intense and traditional blends to the creamy and fragrant decaffeinated.

The ground coffee range is undoubtedly the highlight of the domestic line, though recently, modern solutions like capsules have also satisfied even the most discerning palates.

Kimbo remains the perfect choice for those seeking a relaxing taste experience, with the added zest of stimulating spicy notes. This is the result of Kimbo Caffè’s meticulous, careful work, combining different bean varieties through artisanal, traditional slow roasting.
