This espresso blend was created in 2005 with the opening of the Hayes Valley Kiosk in San Francisco. It is arguably Blue Bottle Coffee's darkest espresso. When enjoyed as a shot, you'll experience a substantial body, a rich reddish-brown crema, and a silky texture. When milk is added, it takes on a sweet, cocoa-like flavor, reminiscent of cocoa with sugar, and its presence is strongly felt in both a mere 90ml macchiato and a 360ml latte. Even brewed as a drip coffee, this blend offers a rounded, dark chocolate-like sweetness. This espresso blend, with its dark chocolate richness, creamy mouthfeel, and hint of brown sugar, pairs exceptionally well with milk.
