From the roaster

What makes a great “house” espresso? One that can be enjoyed on its own, but can also cut through milk. The Dose espresso blend consists mostly of Costa Rica La Pastora, which is our base for creating an espresso that can hold up in your most intricate flavored latte. To add a bit of complexity, we’ve tossed in some Colombia Catw Double Anaerobic. This unique coffee coming from our friend Wilton, is a peach packed flavor bomb. Adding just a touch of this into the mix, gave us the sweet fruity hint that we were craving to round out this espresso. This extra flavor note makes this espresso easy to enjoy on its own.

Fun fact: We may call this espresso blend, but it can be brewed in any way you like. It’s versatile and fun. 

Components: 90% Costa Rica La Pastora Washed, 10% Colombia Catw Double Anaerobic

Context

The Dose Espresso Blend represents a foundational approach to craft roasting, designed specifically to excel in pressurized extraction. By balancing the deep, comforting base of chocolate and almond with the bright, stone-fruit sweetness of peach, this blend aims for a versatile profile that performs consistently across various brewing methods. Espresso blends often rely on this interplay between nutty, cocoa-forward foundations and lighter, fruit-driven components to create a harmonious cup that maintains clarity while offering a substantial mouthfeel.

When evaluating the nuances of such a blend, tasters often find it helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the specific aromatic compounds present. While chocolate and almond notes typically anchor the finish, the inclusion of peach suggests a deliberate selection of components intended to provide a vibrant, lifted quality to the shot. Methodical Coffee focuses on these distinct layers to ensure the blend remains approachable yet complex for the daily drinker.
