Dolce Vita (Italian Roast) Blend

Multi-origin

Our Dolce Vita Blend is a tribute to the Italian roasting tradition , bold, rich, and unapologetically full-bodied. We combine Indian beans, prized for their earthy depth and spice, with Central American coffees that bring sweetness and balance.

Roasted dark in the Italian style, this blend develops deep caramelisation, a thick crema, and a smoky-sweet finish that works beautifully as espresso or a strong cafetière brew. For those who prefer their coffee with conviction.

This is such a good quality coffee. If you’ve ever been to Italy and sat down with a coffee this is exactly how it smells and tastes. If you pour the water slowly over the coffee while brewing you get the nice white foamy la creme forming on top which straight away indicates it’s high quality coffee. If you want to bring a piece of Italy back to your own home then this is the way to do it. Perfetto

It’s…fine, I guess

Nothing special at all - a little on the bland side, lacking much richness or crema. For the price it’s not something I’d ever buy again, especially as prices went up as soon as I bought my first pack. To be honest I wouldn’t have bought a second pack anywhere - certainly not small roastery quality, it’s very similar to Amazon own brand beans…so why pay so much more? Nowhere close to any of the basic beans of the bigger brands, and a mile off being genuinely good.

Good beans

The beans have a great depth of flavours and aroma. They make a fine cup of bean water.

Good value and not too bitter.

These represent good value for money and the taste is quite mellow; not too bitter, slightly chocolatey, mushroomy. It’s easy to drink this coffee black as there is very little bitterness. Would definitely buy this variety and brand again.

Delicious with an amazing crema

I chose this as we ran out before our regular delivery. This produces an insane crema and tastes so delicious. Chocolate notes and deep flavour. Great value and so good I’ve changed to a subscription.

A Truly Great Blend

From the moment I opened the packet, I knew this was going to be good. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste divine. I prefer a South American coffee generally, as they are more fruity than earthy. This blend is great for my first morning cup. Really impressed. Will be trying their other coffees in their range for sure.

A fine tasting coffee

Ground in a manual grinder, brewed in a cafetière and served in a mug with a splash of oat milk and half a teaspoon of dark Muscovado sugar. It's a great tasting coffee that's incredibly smooth, with chocolate and fruit notes with a hint of spice breaking through but in no way over-powering the taste of the coffee. I do sometimes prefer something more bitter for my first mug of the day, but thereafter this will be fine.

So good

Tried many different coffees, blends and single origin. But always come back to this. Can’t understand why it’s so cheap. It’s fantastic, has a perfect blend of Dark Chocolate and nut. Reminds me of Pret coffee

Rich and caramelized taste

I love the taste of Arabica coffee because they have less caffeine so not too strong and bitter. Dolce Vita Blend Coffee Beans features creamy medium roast with delicate boldness. I love its rich and caramelized taste. Great for making cappuccino and latte.

Dark and subtle...

Once brewed and mid-pour this Dolce Vita Blend from We Are Coffee Co. looked a bit anaemic to me with a mid-roast appearance (though it's a dark-roast coffee) at least compared to most of the high roast blends I tend to prefer, but appearances can be deceptive and the flavour is full and satisfying.

It's got a bit more subtlety than most other dark roasts and there's a bit of complexity to the flavours. It's still a full-flavoured brew and combines Robusta and Arabica beans so it's covering all taste bases and should satisfy most people. It doesn't really benefit from being made too strong, it doesn't quite have the depth for that, but it really doesn't need it. Just really good coffee.

Great Tasting Coffee

This dark roast blend is excellent. So rich and creamy and with real depth of flavour. Enjoyed it as Lungo or Americano. Love the packaging, and that the bag is resealable. Not our first bag of We Are coffee but it is our first Dolce Gusto flavour and we love it. Highly recommend.

A nice roast.

This is a lovely tasting coffee! The beans ground nicely and the coffee was really rich and full flavour. I’ve tried a few coffees from this brand now and they never disappoint. Overall I’m really happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

Great quality coffee, these brands are full of flavour. They taste fresh and rich, bit too bitter or acidic but with a good toasty roast and they produce a decent crema. Highly recommend
