Italian Roast

Our darkest roast, and we don't hedge on it. A slow-roasted blend of specialty-grade Arabica and Robusta taken deep enough to bring the oils to the surface without tipping over into ash. If you grew up on dark coffee and everything else tastes thin, start here.

Tasting Notes

• Bold, smoky, and full-bodied
• Dark chocolate and toasted sugar
• Low acidity with a long finish

Why Slow Roasted

Dark roasting is easy to get wrong. Push the heat too fast and you scorch the outside of the bean before the inside develops, which is where burnt, flat-tasting coffee comes from. A slower roast lets the bean develop evenly so the darkness reads as depth instead of char.

The Robusta

Most dark roasts are all Arabica. This blend adds specialty-grade Robusta for more caffeine per cup and a heavier body, which is also what gives it a thick crema when you pull it as espresso.

Brewing

Made for espresso and moka pot, and strong enough to stand up to milk in a latte or cortado. It brews a serious cup of drip coffee for anyone who takes it black and takes it seriously.
