LEARN THE COFFEE.

ESPRESSO.

While the exact blend of single origin coffees we use is a secret, here is something that isn’t: with the earliest machine released in 1884, espresso has been around for over a hundred years. Espresso, or, ‘when something is forced out‘ in Italian, is a condensed, strong beverage. The ratio of coffee to water floats around 2:1–to compare, a typical cup of coffee will sit at a 17:1. Much of the world now cuts the nose-tingling flavor with milk or water.

Espresso has typically been a dark roast. People may be confused at the lighter, sweeter qualities of the coffee presented. We believe that a traditional burnt taste doesn’t have to be present in an espresso blend.

Curious about the taste? We have a number of coffee partners around 417 that serve Equip espresso, such as Big Momma’s Coffee & Espresso Bar, Rise Coffee Co, Common Grounds, Hidden Grounds, and Blue Heron Bakery. If you’re too far, then grab a sampler, and be prepared to open the eyes of your tastebuds.
