Features
Cafe La Semeuse in Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland - a roasting institution in Switzerland that dates back to the turn of the last century – is now producing an espresso blend in the Northern Italian tradition called "il Piacere".
Cafe La Semeuse il Piacere Espresso Coffee in ESE pods is a classic Italian blend of 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta beans that are from Brazil, Mexico, Ethiopia and Cameroon. A favorite of Swiss Barista’s this subtle mix provokes intense pleasurable feelings.
The aroma is multi-layered producing the passionate, sensual fragrance of Jasmine flowers floating above rich toasted bean aromas. An initial powerful and intense warm taste has sumptuous suggestions of dark hazelnut chocolates and finishes with lingering fine woody notes and a pleasant exhalation of cocoa.
The folks at Cafe La Semeuse call this coffee “Seductive”! Available in whole bean and ground 8.8oz bags and 100% compostable 7g ESE 44m pods.

MannyGate7 Very informative thank you!
Philip Coats Interesting to see that coffee comes from such a wide variety of places. Curious to know just how much the taste of each varies (with a similar roast temperature) due to soil composition and other localized variables.
Dean Dahlstedt Absolutely amazing that coffee is the 4th most popular drink in the world, yet it appears to be produced in such small quantities in many regions. This truly is a special drink. I now know why Hawaiian coffee so expensive. Only 100 bags a year! How many times have I roasted a Panama Esmeralda Gesha or a Kenya AA without realizing that those are the very best of only 90 and 850 bags per year respectively. These fact really make me realize how truly lucky we are to be able to enjoy the very best of this wonderful drink. Great article, thanks.
paul hees Great stuff, a lot of interesting information presented in a condensed but appealing format. As a big fan of both, it never occurred to me that Ethiopia produces 8 times as much as Kenya. Wondering if China is still growing- thought Yunnan was on course to rival Vietnam? Thanks!
