Espresso Flavoring – Bold Roast and Coffee Aroma for Complex Brews
Bring the rich depth of café-quality espresso to your beer with our Espresso Flavor Compound – a concentrated, aromatic compound crafted to capture bold roast flavor with none of the bitterness or sediment of coffee beans. Perfect for brewers looking to add complexity and warmth to dark styles and specialty releases.
What Is Espresso Flavor Compound?
The Itaberco Espresso Flavoring Compound replicates the bold, nuanced flavor of fresh-pulled espresso – think dark roast coffee with a velvety mouthfeel, subtle sweetness, and balanced bitterness.

How to Use Espresso Flavoring in Brewing:
Start with 0.5–2% or 0.5-2kg/BBL, depending on the style and flavor intensity you’re targeting. This espresso flavoring gives you professional-level roast aroma without brewing or steeping coffee. It ensures flavor uniformity across batches and won’t alter your beer’s body or head retention.
