Milk Blend Espresso


Tastes Like — Chocolate 🍫 • Ripe Fruit 🍒 • Smooth & Balanced

ABOUT MILK BLEND ESPRESSO

Our signature Milk Blend Espresso is crafted to shine in milk-based drinks. It features a clean, soft Brazilian coffee as the base, balanced with a sparkly Ethiopian natural that brings notes of ripe fruit to complement the mild, chocolatey body of the Brazil. The result is a smooth, balanced espresso that works beautifully in lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites.

Process: Carefully roasted to highlight sweetness and milk-friendliness, with low acidity and chocolatey depth.

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.

 


What does 'Filter' or 'Espresso' Roast mean?

Typically filter is roasted lighter than espresso, though this is not always the case. Several factors play into what brands a Prodigal coffee as 'filter' or 'espresso', which includes the roast profile - i.e. how the beans are roasted, not just how developed a roast it is. It doesn't preclude you from using the beans for espresso though!

About this variety

Caturra often gives a clean, sweet and lively cup. Depending on origin and process, it can lean towards crisp citrus and red fruit or a softer caramel-like balance.

Why this one is different
  • Brazil, Colombia
  • Natural

Caturra has a long history across Latin America. In Brazil, Colombia, the farm, altitude and processing are more useful for predicting the cup than the variety name alone.

Natural processing often brings a rounder, fruit-led expression, which can make the same variety feel quite different from a washed lot.

A little background

Caturra is a naturally occurring compact mutation of Bourbon first identified in Brazil. Its smaller growth habit made it influential across Latin American coffee production.

Classification Bourbon mutation

Technical lineage Natural mutation of Bourbon.
