Espresso Whole Bean (12oz)

The Espresso is a medium dark roast of organic, single-origin Arabica. Expect notes of dark chocolate, graham cracker and a subtle hint of cinnamon, with thick crema and a smooth, balanced finish. It is roasted for espresso depth without a scorched taste, and it holds up well in lattes and cappuccinos.

No. The Espresso is sold only as whole bean, in 12 oz (340 g) bags, as a single bag or a multi-bag pack. Grind it right before brewing, which matters most for espresso. If you want our coffee pre-ground or in cups, choose French Roast, Rise & Shine, Half Caff or Decaf.

Yes. Besides an espresso machine, it works in a moka pot for a rich espresso-style cup, in an AeroPress as a strong concentrate you can dilute or add milk to, and in drip or pour-over for a bolder, chocolate-forward cup. For drip or pour-over, use a slightly coarser grind than you would for espresso.

Not individually. Our March 2025 independent lab report covers one sample each of French Roast, Decaf, Half Caff and Rise & Shine. The Espresso was not one of those samples, so we do not publish separate results for it. You can read the full report on our lab results page.

Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from heat, sunlight and moisture. Our whole bean and ground coffee is sealed in airtight packaging to protect freshness, and each steep bag comes in its own foil packet, so open them one at a time. After opening, keep the package tightly closed between uses and follow the best-by date.

The beans and the roast. We start with organic Arabica, roast it with hot air convection and hold the final stage longer at a lower temperature. That slower finish reduces chlorogenic acids (CGAs), naturally occurring acids in coffee, without over-darkening the beans. An independent lab then measured pH and CGAs in our four core roasts.
