House Espresso Blend — Bold, Rich, and Smooth

Our signature dark roast, built for depth and a velvety crema in every shot. Caramel and bittersweet dark chocolate hit up front, then a toasted walnut finish that lingers. Bold enough to stand up to milk without losing itself. Pull it as a shot or brew it in a moka pot — this is the foundation of a real coffee routine.

Flavor Profile

Caramel — smooth, naturally sweet up front
Dark Chocolate — bittersweet depth through the mid-cup
Toasted Walnut — a clean, lingering finish

Why You'll Love It

Bold and complex — caramel, dark chocolate, and walnut layered in every shot
Velvety crema — pulls thick and smooth, perfect for lattes and cappuccinos
Roasted to order — small-batch on American-made equipment in Clovis, California
Shipped fresh — within days of roasting
Versatile — espresso machines, moka pots, and every milk drink

Best Brewing Methods

Espresso machines, moka pots, and milk drinks — lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, flat whites. The body holds its character even under steamed milk, which makes it an everyday espresso for home baristas and seasoned drinkers alike.

Brewing Tips for the Best Shot

Fine grind for your espresso machine or moka pot
Brew between 195°F and 205°F
Aim for a 1:2 ratio — 18g in, 36g out
Pull slowly to develop the full caramel and chocolate depth

Grind consistency makes the biggest difference in crema — a burr grinder beats a blade grinder every time.

The Story

We roast this one low and slow so the caramel sweetness builds without tipping into bitterness. Same depth, same balance, bag after bag. If you want a dark roast espresso that stands up to milk, this was roasted with you in mind.

For a bolder alternative, explore our Midnight Oil — built for maximum intensity.
