Blends Incapto: The perfect alternative to capsule coffee

Surely, you have sometimes come across so-called blend coffee. But what are they really? Well, it is a mixture of coffees from different origins, which depending on their place of origin, have some characteristics that significantly influence the cup. As a brand specialized in coffee matters, we have the Blends Incapto. The same one that until now has managed to conquer the palate of our clientele.

why Incapto Coffee offer this product? The main objective is to create the ideal alternative for those who still continue to consume coffee in capsules, either in their homes or offices. Once you try the Blends Incapto They will begin to opt for grains, in order to consume this popular drink more responsibly.

Since our commitment is real and sincere, Incapto Coffee, has two blends on the market, whose flavor is quite similar to the capsules that are normally consumed. With the only difference: It has more aroma and flavor, since it is freshly ground coffee beans.

In this article, we not only express our purpose of offering an alternative to coffee capsules, through an improved version, we will also explain in detail what blended coffees are about.

What is blend coffee?

In English the word blend, means mixture. And as we pointed out above, this product is a mixture of coffees from different origins, which for various reasons end up in the same pack, whose destination would be our cups. This type of product aims to offer completely different qualities than those that an individual coffee could provide.

Now, the question is the following: in Spain is the blend the same as blended coffee? The answer is 'No'. It turns out that, when we go to a Spanish supermarket and we stumble upon a blended coffee, we are faced with a completely different product. That is, inside the package there is not the union of two or more grains of different origins. What we will find is natural roasted coffee without any additives and roasted coffee. The latter, which is also widely consumed in Portugal, consists of roasting the grains with sugar, and this sugar would be approximately 18 or 20% of the total weight.

To explain it better, the term blend (in English) will only be labeling those products made from naturally roasted beans, but from a different origin. While blending, it will only refer to the mixture of natural coffee with roasted coffee. It may sound a little confusing at first, but you'll see that from now on it will be much clearer thanks to this simple explanation.

Do the blends indicate percentages or grains used?

It should be noted that blend coffees do not detail the percentages or variety used on their respective packaging. We don't know if we are consuming Arabica or Robusta. However, this does not mean that we are not dealing with a natural grain product.

In the blend packs Incapto, we can find the following:

-Robust from different origins

-A blend coffee with Arabica beans but from different origins

-There can also be a mix between robustas and arabica, from different countries

On the other hand, there are some factors that influence the quality of our cup. Starting with the variety of beans (Arabica or Robusta), because both have different properties. We can also take into account whether the harvest process was done in the shade or in the sun.

The time of harvest, characteristics of the soil, height, processing process (wet or dry), among others, are aspects that play an important role in the organoleptic properties of our drink.

However, sometimes it is possible to balance the characteristics that we do not find easily and separately in those coffees that make up this blend.

We present the blends Incapto

In previous articles, we have highlighted the importance of consuming coffee beans, instead of capsules. An option that we should not overlook, because, the more natural the product is, without chemicals and contaminants, we would be taking care of the environment, through responsible consumption. They are also excellent for our health.

Probably, changing from capsules to natural, from one day to the next, turns out to be a difficult change, since our palate easily gets used to the flavors. In fact, that doubt arises that if we try something else, we won't like it at all.

Given this, we have decided to launch the market blends Incapto. We are talking about two presentations, designed for those who consume capsule coffee at home or in the office and with the purpose of making it a simple way to get started in the true pleasure of drinking freshly ground coffee. All this will be, obviously, without giving up the comfort that capsules have provided us until now.

In short, it is just as easy with the only difference that it is much better, healthier and cheaper. But above all, more sustainable because the residue from each coffee is 100% organic and this is an excellent fertilizer for your plants.

That said, below we present the two incredible blend options Incapto, what we have for you.

Blend Black Label

Our first option is made up of coffees of different origins. Such as Guatemala, Brazil and Peru. All of them from 100% Arabica variety. With this blend with seal Incapto Coffee, aims to provide an aromatic cup, in which the notes of bitter cocoa can be perceived, a prolonged aftertaste, so that that delicious flavor lasts longer on our palate.

In addition, it is characterized by its low acidity and does not scare those who are just starting out with specialty coffee. We have tried to offer a product that appeals to most palates and is what we normally expect as coffee.

Blend White Label

Inside the package of this product, we will find coffees of three different origins: Peru, Brazil and Uganda. This is the only coffee in our selection, it contains 20% Robusta coffee from Uganda. We know that there are people who, first of all, do not like the acidity of coffee and what they expect is a bitter drink. That is why it has 20% robusta, to hide this acidity and increase the bitterness and body.

While the coffees from Peru and Brazil are of the Arabica variety. That is, 80% Arabica and 20% Robusta, to the delight of many.

Let's say, this would be our strongest coffee. Something that we explain in detail in the article “How we rate our coffees” in case you want to know more about the strength of a cup.

In short, Incapto Coffee, does not intend to attack everyone's tastes, but rather against coffee capsules. As they say, tastes, colors. We have quite a few colors, because we are sure that you will love some of our varieties. If not, tell us and we will create new ones. blends Incapto until you find your favorite.
