Espresso | Medium Roast | Blend

If you're looking to make a range of different espresso-based drinks at home with or without the extras, this could this be the silver bullet blend you're seeking! These intrepid Portland roasters have worked hard to create a blend full of sweet red fruit, chocolate and lower acidity that doesn't skip a beat no matter how you like to brew.

Roaster notes

Our Espresso Blend is the product of one of our in-shop obsessions – how can an espresso shot be both sweet and delicate on its own and also shine through when married with additional ingredients for a latte or cappuccino? Thousands of roasts later, the exercise lead to blending three of our freshest single origin offerings from Central and South America and roasting them to a slightly hotter temperature than usual, which minimizes acidity while allowing sweet fruit notes to come through. This process also results in a coffee exceptionally easy to dial in on both espresso and drip machines, making it the perfect choice for home enthusiasts and all your brewing moods.
