Next Roasted Espresso 6/9: Sweet Maria's Espresso Monkey Blend
Product Overview
Product Overview
Sure, green coffee is our specialty. But we also roast two delicious single-origin coffees every other week, as well as a limited amount of darker roasts for espresso. Each bag of roasted coffee is weighed to 1 FULL pound, not some chintzy 12 ounce bag! We roast every other week, and all orders must be received by 11:59pm PST the night before in order for us to account for your order in our roast batches.
This coffee will be roasted on 6/9.
Roasted to Full City+ : Balanced body, fruited-chocolate roast flavors, and slightly rustic accent notes.
Never miss another roast week by signing up for our $40 roasted coffee subscription service, where you can enjoy 2 lbs of freshly roasted coffee from our Probat roaster at Sweet Maria's Coffee every other week. With a roasted coffee subscription we ship you two different single origin coffees roasted between a City-Full City roast. We choose the coffees so you don't have to!

Origin & Farm Notes
A longtime favorite espresso blend intended solely for pump and piston type espresso extraction. This is a sweet but punchy little cup, and roasted fairly light it is a shock to the palette, but has great body and a smooth, sweet, stunning aftertaste. The joke behind the name: I imagine a fancy roaster charming a client in the cupping room, effusing about their "Master Roaster" and "Master Blender" and "Master Cupper", all in the trade for decades of course. Then I imagine the scene in their warehouse where hired apes rip open bags of green coffee and randomly hurl handfulls into the hopper for roasting. In other words, there's a lot of BS in the coffee trade, and blending is NOT really a noble art ...it's done to save cost and disguise coffee defects 80% of the time. The Irony? I have never worked so hard to develop a blend as this one, designed to cup well at a full range of "espresso" roasts, and developed as a pre-blend (all coffees roasted together to same degree of roast). Am I going to tell you exactly what is in it? No! I am feeling a bit snobby today! Espresso Monkey has become our signature blend for some reason or other, perhaps because it is a true standard that we have sought to maintain for so long, and that we put such nice coffees into it.
