Frequently Asked Questions
Does Kimbo Antica Tradizione ground coffee contain allergens?
Coffee is not one of the major food allergens, and this tin contains only roasted, ground coffee. It is packed in a facility that may also process other food products, so anyone with a severe food allergy should read the printed label on the tin before use, since packaging notices can change between production runs.
How should I store Kimbo Antica Tradizione ground coffee?
Keep the tin sealed and stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Reseal the lid tightly after each use to protect the aroma, since ground coffee loses flavor faster once exposed to air. For the best taste, use the coffee within 2 to 4 weeks of first opening the tin.
What is the difference between Kimbo Antica Tradizione and Kimbo Buon Giorno ground coffee?
Antica Tradizione is Kimbo's founding recipe, a medium-dark roast rated intensity 9 out of 13 with a rich, bold character. Buon Giorno is a milder medium roast rated intensity 7 out of 13, made as a smoother everyday breakfast blend. Both are ground and suitable for multiple brewing methods, but Antica Tradizione is the more intense of the two.
Is Kimbo Antica Tradizione imported from Italy?
Yes. This coffee is roasted, blended, and packed in Naples, Italy, following the recipe that established Kimbo's reputation in 1963, then imported for sale in the US and Canada. Real Prime Deals ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same coffee sold across Italy.
