Technically speaking, a short definition might be: A rich, heavy-bodied, concentrated version of coffee, brewed on demand in a single-serving quantity, in approximately thirty seconds, using very fresh finely ground coffee, with water of about 202°F and at a pressure of about 9 atmospheres, (about 130psi). The coffee used is typically a blend, the individual origin coffees chosen in certain ratios and roasted to produce very specific characteristics when brewed, including a pleasing, ‘syrupy’ mouthfeel, sweetness without any sharpness, certain aromatic qualities, a balanced and lasting ‘crema’, and others.

Our espresso coffees are packaged for wholesale in two pound bags, (unless ordered otherwise), allowing the whole bag to be emptied into a standard, commercial espresso grinder hopper.
