MUSIC INSPIRATION: ORIGIN STORY
Designed with the notion that the key to a quality tasting espresso shot is quality ingredients, Bassline Espresso is a blend of carefully selected pulped natural Brazil and an elegant washed coffee from Ethiopia. Our espresso blend can be enjoyed as a straight shot, but will also work harmoniously with milk. Bassline can be enjoyed as a delicious drip brew too!
Each component is roasted separately and then blended together. This blend is anchored with rich and creamy chocolate base notes, highlighted with a vibrant blast of citrus acidity up front, and stone fruits, dark cocoa, and molasses balancing it all out.

Context
The Bassline Espresso Blend, crafted by Passion House Coffee, offers a distinct profile that leans into savory and rich undertones. While many coffees from Ethiopia are celebrated for their bright, floral, or citrus-forward characteristics, this specific blend highlights a different side of the spectrum. By focusing on notes of peanut butter, cashew, and cocoa, the roaster emphasizes a grounded, nutty sweetness that performs exceptionally well as an espresso.
When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better understand how these nutty and cocoa-based descriptors relate to broader sensory categories. Generally, espresso blends are designed to provide a balanced, full-bodied experience that cuts through milk or stands alone as a concentrated shot. This blend demonstrates how careful selection and roasting can shift the focus from traditional regional expectations toward a comforting, dessert-like cup that prioritizes texture and depth.
