The best coffees for espresso brewing
We have pulled together 20 coffees from our catalog that perform consistently well as espresso. This selection favors washed and natural processes, which make up the majority of our current inventory. You will find a heavy representation of Caturra, Colombia, and Bourbon varieties, often sourced from the Huila region in Colombia. Roasters like Phil and Sebastian, Nomad, and Detour contribute the bulk of these options, providing everything from standard pulped naturals to experimental anaerobic lots. Whether you are pulling shots on a home machine or a commercial setup, these coffees offer the clarity and body required for a balanced espresso. We have vetted these lots to ensure they hold up under the pressure and concentration of the espresso brewing method.
What to taste for:Look for a balanced body, clear acidity, and a clean finish that persists through milk or on its own.
