Italian roast coffee is our darkest roast: a slow-roasted blend of specialty-grade arabica and robusta, bold and heavy-bodied. It comes espresso-ground, ready for a strong shot with a velvety crema. Dark as a winter fjord and twice as bold.

How to brew espresso

  2. Pull about 36 g of espresso in 25–30 seconds.
  3. Running too fast? Tamp a little firmer or use a slightly larger dose.

FAQ

  • How dark is Italian roast? It's our darkest roast: bold and heavy-bodied, with little acidity.
  • Can I use espresso grind in a drip machine? It's very fine for drip and can taste bitter. It's best in an espresso machine or moka pot.
Why it tastes smoother

Try it black first. Bitterness in most coffee comes from beans that are stale, low grade or roasted too dark. We fix all three.

  • Fresh roasted. Roasted in small batches and shipped fresh, not aged for months in a warehouse. Coffee loses its sweetness as it goes stale and turns flat and harsh.
  • Specialty-grade beans. Carefully sourced coffee from named regions and growers, with natural sweetness you can taste.
  • Roasted to the sweet spot. We roast each coffee medium to medium-dark, depending on the bean, which brings out chocolate and caramel instead of burnt, ashy bitterness.
  • The right grind. Ground for your brewer, so it doesn't over-extract, the most common cause of a bitter cup.
How to brew

Drip: 2 tablespoons (about 10 g) of standard grind per 6 oz of water.

Pour over: about 1:15 coffee to water, water at 195 to 205°F, 2 to 4 minutes total.

French press: coarse grind, 1:15 ratio, steep 4 minutes, press slowly.

Cold brew: coarse grind, 1:4 to 1:5 ratio for a concentrate, steep about 12 hours, strain, then dilute to taste.
