Using a secret blend of coffee beans, Gregorio crafted the beloved, rich flavors that consumers now recognize as Café Bustelo, an authentically Latin, espresso-style coffee. In the beginning, he sold his hand-ground coffee to local East Harlem theater patrons, with the hopes of running his own roaster someday.

Our Origin Blends lineup is made with coffee beans from the farms of Latin American countries, blended and roasted for a rich and irresistible flavor. Available as ground coffee, instant espresso, K-Cup® pods, or espresso capsules, there's an Origin Blend option for everyone.

Same origin, Brazil and Colombia, the same flavors of the instant coffee line (cafe con dulce de leche, cafe con leche and cafe con chocolate), as well as the classic Cafe Bustelo blend.

History. Gregorio Menendez Bustelo (born June 21, 1894) traveled from his native Spain to Cuba as a young man, and moved to the United States in 1917. He founded the Café Bustelo coffee company in East Harlem, New York in 1928.

If you see a bag of ground coffee beans that says “espresso,” it usually means that the beans are roasted to the espresso point and they're ground to a fine espresso grind.

Espresso is known for its rich flavor, which is considered bolder than regular coffee.

What kind of Coffee is Café Bustelo? Generally South American coffee. It can be brewed as drip, french press, pour over, cold brew, moka pot espresso, or even instant coffee.

To make your coffee, follow these steps:

1. Add water to the coffee machine. Add cold water to the reservoir on your drip coffee machine.
2. Set up the filter and coffee. Place the basket coffee filter into the filter basket and add one tablespoon of Bustelo coffee.
3. Start brewing.
4. Serve the coffee.

This particular Café Bustelo blend is a unique regionally sourced roast from México and other Latin American countries, rooted in the craft and culture of its origins. It will provide you a smooth and full-bodied coffee that stands out with or without cream and sugar - always pure and flavorful, like no other.

Colombia The best high grade Arabica beans for espresso come from Colombia. There are two types of beans that come from this area: Colombia Supremo and Excelsio. Both are sourced from a single region but what distinguishes the two are the bean size. Colombia Supremo refers to the largest size while Excelsio beans are smaller.

Espresso and coffee are not different things. Espresso is a type of coffee. More specifically, it's a method of brewing coffee that uses high water pressure and finely ground beans to make a small, concentrated shot (the term also refers to the shot itself).

Espresso is thicker and more intense than coffee because of the lower grounds to water ratio, the finer grind, and the pressurized brewing method.

Espresso is not a type of coffee bean or a roasting style – a common misconception. It's a process of brewing coffee and is instead made by forcing high-pressured hot water through very finely ground coffee beans. This is then topped with a crema, a brown foam, that adds the rich, full-flavoured aftertaste.

For every six ounces of water, use one tablespoon of finely-ground Café Bustelo. Keep in mind that drip coffee makers often measure cups differently than standard measuring cups, so adjust accordingly if necessary. The brewing process should align with the coffee maker's instructions.

That timing and volume is the Golden Rule of espresso. It's where most coffees are at their best where they produce the most crema. And are not under extracted.

This is because the process of making espresso requires hot water being pushed through tightly packed grounds. The coffee grounds need to be very fine, like the texture of sand, because the water comes into contact with them for a shorter period of time.
