Like a master chef creating a signature dish, we craft blends that balance flavors, aromas and body into something greater than the sum of its parts.
Unlike fleeting micro-lot coffees, our blends deliver a repeatable experience - consistent quality with the depth and complexity of multiple origins working together.
By combining beans from select regions, we create unique flavor profiles that no single coffee origin can achieve on its own.
We source only high-quality, sustainably grown coffee because if you start with a bad bean, you'll never get a good cup. Bean quality is the foundation of every roast we create.
Each batch is roasted to a specific level to highlight its unique character and derive the best possible flavor and aroma. Our lightest roasts are never too light, acidic or sour tasting, while our darkest roasts are never too burnt, smoky or bitter tasting.
From the moment the beans leave the roaster, the clock is ticking. We package and distribute them immediately to lock in peak flavor and aroma, ensuring your coffee arrives as fresh as the day it was roasted.
Our espresso blends are a mix of beans at various roast levels, so they are not really a light roast or a dark roast coffee but are a mix of flavor highlights that makes for a rich, unique flavor profile. Good for both espresso and as a drip coffee or pour over coffee, our espresso blends are rich on flavor and aroma.
Espresso isn’t just about caffeine. It’s about depth, balance, and body. The best espresso beans are chosen and roasted to extract bold flavor and rich crema in a short, pressurized brew. Here's what goes into it:
1. Roast Profile
2. Bean Blend
3. Grind Size
4. Freshness & Roast Date
5. Flavor Notes That Shine Under Pressure
Great espresso beans have low acidity, a dense crema, and notes like:
Espresso is brewed using a finer grind of coffee, a lower water to coffee grounds ratio, and a pressurized brewing method.
Regular drip coffee uses a coarser coffee grind level, more water, and gravity for the water to extract the coffee.
Espresso is more dense and flavorful than regular coffee, with more caffeine per ounce of finished product, and typically more flavor and body. The brewing method is what makes an espresso, not necessarily the specific bean used.
However, some coffees are roasted specifically for espresso. This does not mean that these coffees cannot be used for regular drip brewing, pour over coffee, in an Aeropress, in a Chemex, or any other brewing methods.
This simply means that a coffee that is roasted specifically for espresso has been created with the final product in mind, meaning the espresso beans typically have more complex body and flavor even if they are not used to create an espresso shot.
The ideal grind for espresso is fine, similar to the texture of powdered sugar. This consistency allows for optimal extraction during the pressurized brewing process, resulting in a rich and flavorful espresso shot.
For the best espresso experience, choose coffee beans specifically roasted for espresso. These beans are typically darker roasts that have been developed to accentuate the body, crema, and flavor profile ideal for espresso. For the perfect shot, trust Verena Street Coffee espresso coffee beans.
Espresso uses pressure to extract flavor quickly. A fine grind slows the water flow just enough to pull out bold taste, body, and crema in 20–30 seconds.
