espresso blend
Dark roast combination
An espresso blend is a mixture of coffee beans selected and roasted specifically for espresso preparation.
Blends typically combine beans from different origins to achieve balance—often pairing a bright, acidic coffee with a darker, fuller-bodied one.
The goal is a shot with good crema, balanced acidity, and depth that holds up to milk in lattes and cappuccinos.
