Crescendo

Crescendo is our go-to espresso blend: full-bodied, chocolatey, sweet, and just fruity enough to keep things interesting.

Built around notes of cocoa, sugar, and fruit, it strikes a nice balance between deeper roast flavors and a little brightness. As espresso, it pulls rich and syrupy with plenty of sweetness and a lingering chocolate-fruit finish. Add milk and it has enough body to stay present in a cappuccino or latte.

And despite being designed around espresso, Crescendo is far from limited to it. Try it in a Moka Pot, AeroPress, drip brewer, French press, or pour-over when you're after something bold, smooth, and balanced.

If you want espresso with some depth but don't want to roast all the personality out of the coffee, start here.
