Quintessential espresso. Coffeehouse flavor brews a tasty drip cup, too!

Tasting info

Classic flavor that's a bit lighter than a corporate espresso. Lives up to a barista's cup, yet forgiving if you're new or loose in your espresso game. Tune into a natural sweetness with a hint of smokiness and enough bitterness. Not Old World nor New World. Very versatile. Makes a tasty drip cup, too!

Roast: Medium
Acidity: Smooth
Body: Round
Tasting Notes: Baker’s Cocoa, Brown Sugar, Macadamia

Best coffee for my espresso machine
I have an espresso machine that grinds beans and makes coffee. Black Squirrel tastes delicious when made in my machine.

MY FAVORITE RETURNS!!!!!
The sweetest local cafe in my town had the best coffee. I never ventured to figure out what because the owner was so sweet and chill, and it was an experience to get my oat cap and just feel like life was a movie for a moment. And truly it was the perfect coffee (and I’ve tried a lot because I’m a coffee snob)
Sadly, the big bad owner of the bar next door decided not to renew her lease (even though she was doing great business and everyone loved her). Fast forward to checking a text receipt and seeing the words “black squirrel” under cappuccino and I figured that must mean something. I was so excited when I saw it was espresso blend! It must be the coffee! The perfect coffee!
I toyed around with the grind and with my decent yet not amazing espresso machine (can’t afford a top notch one just yet!) I tried my little oat drink and amazing! The perfect coffee lives on in my favorite mug at home!! I couldn’t be happier to finally have a really good espresso drink at home that I look forward to having 😌☺️🫶🏽🥹
Yayyyy!!!!!

Lauren, this story has us absolutely beaming! 🥹 Of course, we're so sorry to hear about your beloved local cafe closing but we're thrilled that Black Squirrel gets to live on in your home and bring back those perfect coffee memories! ☕️ The fact that you detective-worked your way from a text receipt to recreating that magic with your oat caps at home is just amazing. Here's to many more perfect coffee moments in your favorite mug! 🫶🏽✨
