It is easy to find it, and it will not be difficult to fill your hand in cooking - the main thing is to correctly observe the proportions and sequence of adding the ingredients. At the heart of the espresso drink, and there are no canonical unchanging principles about which bean coffee to choose for it. More precisely, at first they were - blends of Arabica and Robusta were made in Italian coffee houses. Then the principle changed thanks to a certain royal person who loved only Arabica.But the main point is the same - not every blend or mono-sort, invigorating in the morning in espresso, is suitable for cappuccino. The explanation is simple - there are some varieties that are ideally revealed in the classic Italian "black" drink, but lose their flavor and aroma profile in milk. And, accordingly, on the contrary, there are those that are ideal for milk. We will draw your attention to them in this rating-review.

  • Average price: 2,600 rubles/kg
  • Country of origin: Italy

Lavazza is one of the most “persistent” manufacturers on the Russian market.

Rough, strong, dark

Strong vigorous basis for coffee and German quality.

  • Average price: 2,600 rubles/kg
  • Country of origin: Germany
  • Ingredients: Arabica
  • Roast level: dark

Dallmayr's Crema d'Oro line is extensive and quite popular among connoisseurs of high-quality store-bought coffee beans. But, unfortunately, in Russia only the main classic version is more often found on sale - Dallmayr Crema d'Oro. It is no worse and will perfectly fit into a cappuccino or latte macchiato, but will not add to them that fortress and intense taste that is present in our hero with the Intensa prefix. An exclusive blend of Arabica beans from South and Central America, evenly roasted, with a tart rich and dense aroma, creamy taste - the perfect combination for those looking for a balanced and strong cappuccino blend.

Pros and cons
  • Fragrant
  • Good dark roast
  • Lack of accurate information about the regions of supply
  • Difficult to find for sale

Top 5. Coffesso Crema

Rating (2022): 4.70
Accounted for 111 reviews from resources: Ozon, Wildberries, Otzovik, Yandex.Market
Russian brand in Italian suit

A good blend of Arabica and Robusta without pronounced bitterness from a Russian company.

  • Average price: 2,100 rubles/kg
  • Country of origin: Russia
  • Ingredients: Arabica, Robusta
  • Roast degree: medium (3/5)

Don't be fooled by the modest renaissance-style feminine profiles on the packaging, the Italian flag and the manufacturer's mention of Giacomo Vannelli as the brand's ambassador. Simple advertising tricks from the 90s are still popular in Russia, which is the country of the brand. It belongs to the May company, whose tea song most people have definitely heard. Coffesso is not the most promoted brand yet, and the linear range is modest, but it is found in stores, and the quality is not bad.Crema can be called a balanced blend of South American Arabica and Robusta. There is a slight bitterness in the taste, and thanks to the creamy texture it is suitable for making cappuccino, which is also confirmed by reviews.

Pros and cons
  • Pleasant aroma
  • No pronounced bitterness
  • There is no information about the ratio of Arabica and Robusta

Top 4. Bravos Espresso mix №2 Sweet Cappuccino

Rating (2022): 4.70
Accounted for 111 reviews from resources: Ozon, Wildberries, Otzovik, Yandex.Market
Freshly roasted blend

Inexpensive Arabica blend with robusta and excellent fresh roasting.

  • Average price: 2,300 rubles/kg
  • Country of origin: Russia
  • Ingredients: Arabica, Robusta
  • Roast degree: medium (3/5)

In recent years, Russian roasters have been great at dumping the market. Perhaps they still have a little more capacity to start occupying offline stores, and a global restructuring of the coffee industry may begin. But for now, we just have a choice, and that's good too. The review shows the most popular blend from Bravos from the line “for milk”, that is, the best option for cappuccino. Which is confirmed by a large number of positive reviews. An interesting blend of Brazilian, Colombian and Ethiopian Arabica with the addition of Ugandan Robusta in a combination of 8 to 2. Intense aroma and pronounced chocolate-nutty and fruity notes. It is worth taking a closer look at other options from Bravos, for example, Ethiopia's Sidamo, where the declared sweetness is higher than that of the mixture No. 2 Sweet Cappuccino, and the sourness is 1/5.

Pros and cons
  • The perfect blend for cappuccino connoisseurs
  • fresh roast
  • Small selection from online retailers

Top 3. Bushido Black Katana

Rating (2022): 4.73
Accounted for 2 829 feedback from resources: Ozon, IRecommend, Wildberries, SberMegaMarket
Specialty coffee

Premium shop coffee for making cappuccino.

  • Average price: 2,300 rubles/kg
  • Country of origin: Netherlands
  • Ingredients: Arabica
  • Roast degree: medium

100% hand-washed Arabica beans from South and Central America, dried in the highlands under the sun. If almost all Bushido coffee can be recommended to espresso gourmets, then it is more difficult about cappuccino - many have an exquisite sourness that not all lovers of drinks with milk like. In Black Katana, it is practically absent due to the absence of Ethiopian Arabica and more Brazilian in the blend. The citrus note is present, but it is barely perceptible and clogged with a sweet fruit and berry flavor, smoothly turning into a symphony of dark chocolate with nuts. Versatile in preparation - not necessarily used only in a coffee machine, good for other methods, where it can turn out even sweeter.

Pros and cons
  • Unusual taste
  • Premium Brand
  • Not everyone likes roasting
