CR Espresso Blend
Espresso
The Blend
Classic Character, New Orleans Soul.
Our Espresso Blend is roasted daily on CR's pair of 100-year-old Royal No. 6 drum roasters through a slower, gentler method that coaxes out a naturally sweeter, smoother cup. The result is a northern-Italian-inspired espresso that still delivers the rich, heavy-bodied flavor New Orleans coffee lovers expect. A creamy base of chocolate and toasted almond finishes with a subtle, fruit-like brightness. Built for milk: the cocoa sweetness cuts cleanly through steamed milk, giving lattes and cappuccinos a silky, dessert-like balance. 100% Arabica, carefully layered Central and South American coffees.
