The upper medium roast delivers excellent crema and a rich, syrupy shot. Use a fine grind and a 1:2 ratio for espresso. For moka pot, fill to the valve line with medium-fine grounds.

Roasted for Espresso

Intense has an upper medium roast with a longer, more developed roast profile, made for espresso and moka pot. Grind it fine right before pulling your shot to get its syrupy body and crema, medium-fine for moka pot, or coarse if you brew it in a French press. If you’d rather skip the grinder, Intense Ground comes ready for espresso machines and moka pots.

WHAT IS A CUPPING SCORE?

A cupping score is a 100-point quality rating for coffee, on the scale developed by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Scores are assigned by certified Q Graders after a standardized tasting process called cupping. A score of 80 or higher qualifies a coffee as "specialty coffee," indicating exceptional quality and adherence to high standards.
