Supremo preparation means the coffee beans are sized on screen 17, Excelso preparation are beans smaller than Supremo.
Exceslo is different according to the destination where it is exported. There are four different types of Excelso coffee:
- Type “Klauss”: screen 16.5 for Germany
- “Europa”: screen 15 for France, Spain and Italy. Tolerance: 2.5% of beans between screens 12 and 15
- “Scandinavia”: Screen 14
