Story:               We've been asked a few thousand times for our single origin espressos to be available on our website. So we decided to give the people what they want. 

Each week we select a washed coffee from our lineup that we think will taste brilliant as espresso; something sweet, clean and easy to extract. 

We tend to stick to the milk chocolate end of the spectrum, picking washed coffees from Central and South America. As our coffee lineup changes so often, you can expect the SOE we choose to change with it.

And even though it will be the roaster's choice, we promise you are going to love what you get!

*Note: we are unable to substitute the roasters choice coffee if you happen to order the same SO along with it

Generally, washed coffees are celebrated for their clarity and balanced acidity, often providing a stable canvas for the development of classic, comforting flavor profiles.
