About This Coffee

NOBILE is a light-roasted espresso blend created in 2004 by elbgold. It combines a dominant portion of Ethiopian Natural from Sidama Bombe — dried on raised beds with controlled fermentation — with a smaller portion of Washed coffee from Nicaragua (Los Placeres). The Ethiopian component provides intense sweetness, berry aromas, and aromatic complexity, while the Nicaraguan Washed adds structure and body. Roasted to approximately Agtron 70, it delivers pronounced sweetness, fruity-berry notes, and a soft, silky texture.

elbgold is Hamburg's pioneering specialty coffee roastery, founded in 2004 by Annika Taschinski and Thomas Kliefoth — a couple whose love for coffee literally started with a birthday espresso maker. Today they run six beautifully designed cafés across Hamburg, a dedicated roastery in the Schanzenviertel processing around 110 tonnes of green coffee annually on a Probat G45, and a separate import business called PLOT Coffee. Direct trade is at the core of everything they do — most of their farmer partnerships span over a decade, and pricing is based on quality rather than volatile market rates. Their in-house patisserie, run by award-winning pastry chefs, rounds out an experience that has helped define Hamburg's third-wave coffee culture from day one.
