Espresso Blend Composition – 70:30 Arabica & Robusta

This espresso coffee blend ratio is engineered for strength and sweetness:

• 70% Arabica for natural sweetness, aroma, and flavour clarity
• 30% Robusta for crema, body, and espresso intensity
• Designed for strong espresso extraction
• Ideal for milk-based drinks requiring structure

The result is a bold yet smooth espresso blend with excellent crema and chocolate-forward character.

Roast Profile (Roast Scale)

Roast Level: Medium-Dark Roast

We use a medium-dark roast profile for espresso blends to enhance crema production, deepen body, and highlight caramelized sweetness and chocolate notes.

Grind Size Guide (Espresso Optimization)

For optimal espresso extraction:

• Espresso Machine: Fine grind (powder-like, slightly sandy texture)
• Moka Pot / Stovetop Espresso: Fine to medium-fine grind
• AeroPress (espresso-style): Medium-fine grind
• Pour Over (secondary use): Medium grind

Proper grind size ensures balanced extraction, strong crema formation, and full-bodied espresso performance.
