The Maja family has been roasting Hardy Coffee in Milan since 1954, earning their espresso the nickname "il caffé di Milano" (the coffee of Milan). Three generations of Italian roast masters have perfected Hardy Coffee, and the company is still run by the same family today.
Hardy has become a symbol of Milanese artisanship and tradition. Over the decades, their espresso has become a legend throughout Milan. Hardy is now served in over a thousand of the city's cafés and in cafés all throughout Italy. We're proud to bring this Italian tradition to your home Nespresso Original Line machine.
Hardy Coffee is roasted and packaged in Milan. Each recyclable, BPA free capsule is individually vacuum sealed in protective packaging to prevent the high quality, ground coffee from oxidizing and losing flavor. It's then air shipped to the US so that we can get it to you fresh. We take these extra steps to make your gourmet coffee experience at home as close as possible to that of a Milanese café - rich and flavorful.
Our Traditional Variety Pack consists of Hardy's traditional, Italian roasts.
Milano (Intensity: 3 of 5): High quality Arabica beans give this Hardy classic a thick crema. Smooth balance of acidity and sweetness. Zesty aroma with scents of rosewood.
Europa (Intensity: 4 of 5): A classic Italian espresso - slightly bitter with full bodied flavor. Deep aroma with scents of toasted nuts and fresh wood.
Universo (Intensity 5 of 5): Thick and smooth cream. Aggressively bold flavor balanced by the taste of fresh herbs and nuts. Earthy scents of tobacco and leather, with a final hint of spice.
We're sure that you're going to love it, but if you are in any way dissatisfied, we offer an unconditional, 60 day return and refund guarantee.When you're ready for premium Italian espresso - a true, everyday luxury from Milan - there is only one name. Hardy, "il caffé di Milano".
