Chocolate Kiss Espresso Blend

A great espresso should be as sweet and complex as a beautifully brewed filter coffee. Because espresso is simply a more concentrated expression of a coffee, using high-quality beans becomes even more essential. To maximize sweetness and flavor clarity, this coffee is roasted lighter than most traditional “espresso” blends.

Taste is subjective, so feel free to experiment, but we recommend starting with a 1:3 coffee-to-water ratio, filtered water, and a grind slightly finer than you might use with other roasters’ beans.

Think back to when you first discovered specialty coffee, the surprising sweetness, the smoothness, the chocolatey depth that tasted every bit as good as it smelled. We crafted this special Valentine’s blend to recapture that feeling.

This Chocolate Kiss Espresso delivers rich notes of chocolate fudge and cocoa nib, supported by a subtle hint of baked apple that adds lift, balance, and natural sweetness. Achieving this flavor profile required a thoughtful combination of pre-roast and post-roast blending, two approaches that work together to build layers of chocolatey goodness.

If you love this espresso, we recommend trying its companion: Chocolate Caramel Kiss.
