Riviera Blend Coffee: smooth, sweet and hypnotic

Italian for coastline, Riviera is where you momentarily escape and enjoy the caramel, pomegranate and dark chocolate flavours of this ever-popular blend. Lovely as a stovetop or drip coffee, the sweet aromatics and smooth finish deliver a flavourful and hypnotic coffee experience.

Sourced from countries known for their premium quality coffee plants, Riviera balances the power of our Espresso blend with the delicate flavours of added Kenyan and Colombian. The result is a rich and caramel-sweet brew that leaves a delicious aftertaste.

Riviera offers a momentary escape, where you can savour the rich combination of caramel, pomegranate, and dark chocolate notes in every sip.

The impact of coffee origin on taste and quality

We created Riviera for those who loved our Espresso blend, with a touch of sweetness added. To create this beautiful blend, our team sourced the best coffee beans from high-altitude plantations in Kenya and Colombia.

We then add them to our popular Espresso blend. Ethically sourced, these beans are 100% Arabica coffee which tastes sweeter and smoother than other varieties.

Both Kenya and Colombia have the perfect conditions for growing coffee trees. The coffee farmers have perfected the growing and harvesting process, and now produce premium Kenyan coffee beans and Colombian coffee beans for distribution globally.

Kenyan coffee is known for its exceptional characteristics. The Kenyan Arabica coffee beans have a naturally sweet profile that delivers a full-body coffee with good depth.

Colombian coffee features Caturra beans that are sourced from various regions. These beans are known for their caramel notes, intense aromas and sweet flavours.

Brewing for the sweet aromatics and smooth finish

This coffee blend is ideal for home coffee drinkers as it is extremely versatile and tastes great using a range of brew methods.

When used in a plunger or French Press, Riviera coffee produces a silky smooth, rich and full-flavoured beverage.

It's just as suited to a filter or pourover method like the AeroPress Coffee Maker or V60. These allow you to control the strength and flavour of your brew and let you really taste the sweet aromatics.

If you want to produce a rich, authentic coffee Italian-style, you can't go past brewing with a stovetop.

Whichever way you brew, Riviera is an exceptionally versatile and forgiving blend.

Mastering the art of coffee roasting for specific flavour profiles

The secret to Merlo Coffee's rich, balanced flavour is in the roasting profile that our team follows. This ensures we deliver a premium, consistent Riviera coffee blend.

Our resident Q-Grader carefully chooses the variety of coffee beans and oversees the roasting process. The premium quality beans are always freshly roasted so we can provide our customers with the best coffee product from their favourite coffee brands. And we know it tastes best when it's fresh.

The Colombian and Kenyan coffee beans are roasted separately first, then added to the other beans to give the Riviera more caramel flavours.

Featuring big chocolate flavours with a caramel finish, Riviera strikes a perfect balance for full-bodied flavour.

Carefully sourced from countries renowned for their exceptional coffee plants, Riviera strikes a perfect balance between the robustness of our Espresso blend and the delicate nuances of Kenyan and Colombian beans. The outcome is a luscious and caramel-infused brew that lingers on the palate, leaving behind a truly satisfying aftertaste.

Allow Riviera to transport you momentarily to a world where you can relish each sip, immersing yourself in the harmonious combination of caramel, pomegranate, and dark chocolate notes that make this coffee truly exceptional.

Whether brewed as a stovetop or drip coffee, the sweet aromatics and smooth finish create a hypnotic and unforgettable coffee experience. Immerse yourself in the hypnotic allure of Riviera.

This category includes a range of brew devices that use filters (paper or reusable). Devices include the AeroPress, & AeroPressGo, the Hario V60, Chemex & Fretta, the MoccaMaster and other cone-filtered methods where water is poured over ground coffee. A medium grind is recommended.

  • Breville Compact Café & Infuser
  • Breville Duo Temp Pro
