Who doesn’t enjoy a vacation on Lake Maggiore? The northern Italian lake is rightly a haven of relaxation – sometimes overcrowded in the summer, but a haven of peace in the off-season. Located on the less touristy eastern shore in the town of Luino, the small roastery El Miguel has been dedicated to translating this lifestyle into espresso blends carefully prepared according to traditional recipes since the 1970s.

The three blends, Profundo (50/50), Precioso (70/30), and Reserva do Fundador (80/20), have so impressed us with their value for money
that we decided to expand our range to include these balanced espressos. Due to their more moderate roast, all three are also ideal for preparation in a fully automatic coffee machine.

Precioso is, in a way, the ace up its sleeve, as its balanced characteristics satisfy both discerning home baristas and price-conscious restaurateurs. This blend, with its rounded chocolatey flavor, makes it perfect for preparing all classic Italian coffee specialties.
