This is the coffee we make every morning at 1101 Spruce Street. It's the one our baristas pull for espresso, dial in for lattes, and drink themselves on break. When we say it's the house blend, we mean it literally.
We built The House as a medium roast that works across every brewing method — espresso, drip, pour-over, French press, Chemex. Most blends are optimized for one method and tolerate the rest. This one was designed to be genuinely excellent in all of them, which means the roast profile had to be precise enough to hold up to high heat but open enough to shine in lower-extraction methods.
Baker's chocolate and dried cherries carry the flavor, with port wine and a whisper of tobacco that keep it from going sweet. Full body. Smooth finish. No weird aftertaste.
It's the coffee you reach for without thinking — which is the highest compliment we know how to give.
BREWING NOTE
Dials in cleanly as a 1:2 espresso ratio (18g in, 36g out, 28–32 seconds). As drip, use a medium grind and a standard 1:15 ratio. It holds its flavor well over a thermal carafe, which means it's a reliable choice for households that brew a full pot.
