The good news: real Neapolitan coffee is now easy to buy in the United States too. Here’s where to look, by brand and by channel.
The official US sites
- Kimbo USA — a dedicated site, with whole beans, ground coffee, capsules, and K-Cups.
- Caffè Borbone America — a US site with compostable pods, capsules, and K-Cups (coastal-themed blends).
Buying through official channels generally gives you more assurance on freshness and availability.
Online Italian specialty stores
Retailers specializing in Italian products ship across the US and stock multiple brands together:
- Supermarket Italy, Espresso International (US), Seattle Coffee Gear, and similar retailers — you’ll often find Kimbo, Borbone, Passalacqua, Lavazza, and Illy in the same cart.
Amazon
On Amazon.com you can easily find Kimbo and Borbone (and, to a lesser extent, Passalacqua). Convenient and fast; check the seller and the roast/expiration date for freshness.
Tips to avoid mistakes
- With dark roasts, freshness matters: prefer packages with a good roast date and, if possible, whole beans you can grind yourself.
- For bar-style taste, look for “Napoletano/Napoli” in the blend name.
- Passalacqua is more of a niche find: plan on ordering from specialty retailers.
