From the roaster

700 is the ultimate example of the time and passion we put into our coffee and our blends. We take it through quality control at least three days a week via cupping or pulling shots, aiming to provide a blend that is consistent, balanced, and delicious with each and every brew or extraction.

The result is a coffee with a caramel sweetness, smooth body, and dark chocolate finish that tastes great as both drip coffee and espresso. A staple for the home and for the espresso bar, and the perfect everyday coffee for any level of coffee lover.

Context

The 700, offered by Kaldi's Coffee Roasting Co., presents a profile defined by its foundational sweetness and depth. With roaster-identified notes of caramel sweetness and dark chocolate, this selection leans into the comforting, dessert-like qualities often sought in classic roast profiles. These characteristics typically anchor the "Sweet" and "Cocoa" categories found on the flavor wheel, providing a balanced cup that emphasizes richness over acidity.

While individual lots vary based on origin and processing, coffees that highlight chocolate and caramel notes are frequently prized for their versatility across brewing methods, ranging from drip coffee to espresso. By focusing on these deep, sugary undertones, the 700 serves as a reliable example of how careful roasting can accentuate the inherent, indulgent qualities of a bean. Whether enjoyed black or with milk, this coffee offers a straightforward, approachable experience for those who prefer a traditional and well-rounded flavor profile.
