CoCo

A chocolate bomb espresso, made for milk.

This blend is structured to draw on flavour notes of 70% dark cocoa with notes of 70% dark chocolate, caramer, wafers. Whilst it is ideal for espresso, it also works well as cafétiere for those looking for a slightly darker roast.

Suggested espresso recipe:

Weight in - 18-19g Weight out - 36-38g Ratio - 1:2 Extraction time - 25-30 seconds

The CoCo blend, crafted by Hundred House Coffee, is a study in deep, indulgent profiles. By focusing on a foundation of 70% dark cocoa and 70% dark chocolate, this coffee leans into the rich, bittersweet spectrum often associated with high-percentage cacao. The addition of caramel and wafer notes rounds out the experience, suggesting a profile that prioritizes comfort and a heavy, dessert-like mouthfeel.

When exploring such intense, chocolate-forward profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between different types of cocoa and confectionery sweetness. While many specialty coffees highlight bright acidity or floral aromatics, blends like CoCo demonstrate the appeal of a more grounded, savory-sweet approach. This selection is particularly well-suited for those who enjoy a classic, robust cup that emphasizes depth and texture over the lighter, tea-like qualities found in other varieties.
