After many years of trying pretty much every Canadian roaster of note looking for a reliable, consistant, modern/traditional espresso roast, this is it. When you actually start measuring roast levels you quickly find out what most roasters call espresso is done at the level of filter roast form 10 years ago. With all of the coffees I've received from 49th they actually are the roast level they claim to be and you don't get any wild shift from order to order. If you're looking for a traditional espresso for daily drinking, this is one of the best.

Old School - our everyday espresso. Also tastes great in a cortado or latte. We keep buying 2.5lb every few weeks. Always consistent on the roast… I never have to adjust my grinder.
