• Coffee with a medium to dark roast: Ensures a full, rich flavor that won’t overpower the whiskey.
• Coffee with chocolate or caramel notes: Pairs perfectly with the cream and whiskey.
• Single origin from South America or Africa: Offers a nice balance between fullness and smoothness.

Recommended Beans:

• Mocca d'Or Santos Brasil Cerrado: Soft, nutty flavor with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
• Mocca d'Or Colombia Supremo: Full-bodied, light nutty taste, perfectly balanced.
