For the obsessed: five pounds of our Espresso at $22/lb — roughly a third less than our 12oz bags ($35/lb). Same beans, same roast, roasted at origin every Tuesday. The office espresso upgrade, or a very good month at home.
Born from a challenge: make a truly great espresso from Guatemalan beans. The Chica Bean team — and master roaster Evelin Tupul — answered with this: the same exceptional beans as the house specialty, taken to a roast that pulls sweet and syrupy under pressure. Caramelized sugars up front, black cherry in the middle, dark chocolate on the finish.
Best as: espresso, moka pot, or any strong-brew method. Milk loves this one.
