Why Kimbo Coffee Is the Heart of Naples – And Where to Buy It in the UK
If you've ever strolled through the backstreets of Naples, chances are you've caught the unmistakable aroma of Kimbo coffee wafting from a bustling café. Rich, intense, and full of southern Italian soul, Kimbo has been at the heart of Neapolitan coffee culture for decades — and it’s now easier than ever to enjoy at home in the UK.
What Makes Kimbo Coffee So Special?
Kimbo isn't just a brand — it's a symbol of authentic Neapolitan espresso. Founded in the 1960s by three brothers in Naples, Kimbo’s mission was simple: to capture the powerful, full-bodied flavour of southern Italian coffee and make it available to everyone.
What sets it apart?
-
Traditional Neapolitan roasting methods that draw out bold, toasty notes
-
A variety of blends to suit every taste, from Kimbo Gold to the intense Espresso Napoletano
-
Available in whole beans, ground coffee, and compatible pods for everyday convenience
Whether you prefer the ritual of brewing an espresso from freshly ground beans or the ease of a pod, Kimbo delivers consistent quality and flavour in every cup.
