Forté Espresso Blend

Hold on there cowboy! If you're looking at our espresso blend because you like "dark" and "strong" you're in the wrong place. Try our Brazil or even a Dark Roast Yirgacheffe or one of our other more robust coffees. 

American marketing has duped us into believing that an "Espresso Roast" is really dark, strong coffee. On the contrary, a true "Espresso Blend" (notice the change... blend vs. roast) is usually a medium roast coffee designed to bring out out all of the underlying flavors of the beans that are in the blend. We're not going to stop you from using this blend in a drip coffee, it just may not be exactly what you're looking for. 

Our espresso blend is a sweet and long lasting espresso taste with just a touch of citrus. Tastes great in milk drinks. We recommend 19 grams of coffee, water at 200 degrees, and 25 seconds to pull 1.5 oz of espresso. If you're making an americano 18 grams of coffee and 2 oz of espresso makes a slightly milder with not quite as much of a citrus flavor.
