Segafredo coffee beans: Intermezzo and other blends sold in the UK
What's in Segafredo Intermezzo, Classico, Espresso Casa and the rest of the bean range, which suit a bean-to-cup machine, and what we could and couldn't price in the UK.
Segafredo coffee beans come from Segafredo Zanetti, an Italian roaster based near Bologna, and the blend most people in the UK search for is Intermezzo. This guide covers what Segafredo says is in Intermezzo and the rest of its bean range, which blends suit a bean-to-cup machine, and what we found when we looked for them in the UK on 3 Oct 2026. We haven’t tested this in person. Blend details come from Segafredo’s own shop, and UK availability from our searches of UK retailers on the same day. Read how we compare.
One thing to know upfront: we couldn’t confirm a current UK price for Intermezzo on 3 Oct 2026, so this page doesn’t quote one. Check the current price before you buy.
Segafredo coffee beans: the range
Segafredo’s own shop listed these bean blends on 3 Oct 2026:
Intermezzo. Segafredo calls it a classic robusta blend with an intense flavour, full body and a persistent crema, with chocolate, dried fruit and spice notes. It’s sold in 500g and 1kg bags. If you like a strong, bitter-edged Italian espresso, this is the one aimed at you.
Classico. A blend of South American coffees with honey and caramel notes, according to Segafredo. It’s the gentler choice, in 500g and 1kg bags.
Supremo. Segafredo’s 100% arabica blend, from South America, with chocolate, spice and floral notes. Again in 500g and 1kg.
Espresso Casa. Described as balanced and intense, with honey, caramel, floral and chocolate notes and a full body. Segafredo puts it at 10/13 on its intensity scale. 500g and 1kg.
Fiesta. An arabica and robusta blend with dried fruit and spice notes and what Segafredo calls a hazelnut cream, in a 1kg bag only.
Segafredo also had two limited editions: Melhor, a Brazilian arabica, and 1000 Miglia (sold as Audace), an arabica and robusta blend that Segafredo pitches at both espresso and milk drinks.
You may see an “Extra Strong” Segafredo blend mentioned elsewhere. It wasn’t in Segafredo’s own bean range when we checked, so we’ve left it out.
Who it isn’t for: anyone after a light, fruity coffee. Most of the range is built for a classic Italian espresso.
Which Segafredo beans suit a bean-to-cup machine?
Segafredo describes Intermezzo, Supremo and Espresso Casa as made for grinding fresh for espresso, which is exactly what a bean-to-cup machine does.
- For a strong black espresso: Intermezzo, with its robusta base.
- For a smoother espresso: Classico or Supremo. Supremo is the only all-arabica blend in the standard range.
- For milk drinks: Segafredo pitches the 1000 Miglia limited edition at milk drinks. Of the standard range, a fuller blend such as Intermezzo or Fiesta is likelier to stand up to milk than Classico.

Who it isn’t for: cafetière or filter drinkers. Segafredo frames its beans around espresso.
Buying Segafredo coffee beans in the UK
This is where it gets awkward.
- Segafredo’s own shop (segafredo.it) priced in euros when we checked, with an Italian seller named in its terms. It isn’t a UK shop, so we haven’t quoted its prices.
- Morrisons and Sainsbury’s: our searches on 3 Oct 2026 found no Segafredo beans.
- Tesco, Asda and Ocado: their sites blocked our checks, so we can’t say what they stock.
- Amazon UK: a Segafredo Zanetti Caffè Crema Collezione 1kg bag was listed on Amazon UK when we searched on 3 Oct 2026. Check price at Amazon. We couldn’t find a clearly labelled Intermezzo listing to price on the same day.
For context, the big supermarket Italian blends were easy to price on the same day: Lavazza Qualità Rossa was £22.50 a kilo at Sainsbury’s, and Lavazza Crema e Gusto beans were £18.50 a kilo at Lavazza UK. Our Kimbo vs Lavazza page compares two other Italian roasters you can buy here.
Who it isn’t for: anyone who wants to buy in a supermarket. On our checks, Segafredo beans were an online purchase.
How to check you’re getting the right bag
- Check the blend name. Intermezzo, Classico and Espresso Casa all come in similar-looking bags, and listings don’t always use the name clearly.
- Check the bag size. Segafredo sells most blends in 500g and 1kg, so compare price per kilo.
- Check the seller. On marketplaces, the seller and delivery cost can change the real price.
- Look for a date. None of the listings we read showed a roast date, so a best-before date is the most you’ll get.
Downsides
- Hard to price in the UK. We couldn’t confirm a current UK price for Intermezzo.
- Robusta-heavy. Intermezzo’s robusta base won’t suit anyone who likes a mild cup.
- Not in the supermarkets we could check. Neither Morrisons nor Sainsbury’s had them.
