Passalacqua Mehari, one of Naples’ most iconic espresso blends

My Smeg espresso machine is now loaded with Passalacqua Mehari, one of Naples’ most iconic espresso blends. Rich, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, it delivers the deep chocolate notes, roasted nuts and lingering finish that define true Neapolitan coffee culture.

Passalacqua has been roasting coffee in Naples since 1948, and Mehari captures everything I love about a southern Italian espresso.

Closer to Naples, without actually being there, is probably impossible.
