A brilliant combination of some of our single-origin coffees roasted to perfection separately, then thoughtfully blended to recreate the balanced, crema-laden espresso more common in a northern Italian coffee bar. Delicious as a pour-over too. The current blend consists of 90% Brazil Carmo de Minas (mild and nutty) with a slightly extended roast time, plus 10% of the top-rated Uganda robusta to enhance mouthfeel and prolong crema duration.

ABOUT THIS COFFEE:
The beans we use for our espresso blend change with the harvest season. It is always blended from two or three of our Top 1% single origin coffees. Espresso is usually best at least 3 days off roast and will continue to pull wonderful shots out through 15 days post-roast. You will need to adjust your grind just a tiny bit finer each day that the coffee degasses. We find that shots of our blend taste best at a 1:2 ratio (16 grams of coffee pull to a 32 gram shot) at 203 degrees. The shot should complete as close to 23 seconds as you can manage
