Our Flagship blend: The Badass Bear Espresso

Badass Bear Espresso: A Champion in Every Cup

🏆 Award-Winning Craftsmanship
Our modern espresso blend, Badass Bear, has made it to the Norwegian Barista National Final Championships not once, but twice—back-to-back in 2023 and 2024—thanks to the talent of two exceptional baristas. That’s a total of four incredible achievements! While we’re proud of this recognition, we stay humble, continually pushing ourselves to craft exceptional coffee every single time—and striving to make it even better in the future.

The Story Behind the Blend

This blend was born out of endless experimentation with origin flavor profiles and sample roasts. During a tasting session, someone at the cupping table declared, “Hey, this is pretty badass!”—and the name stuck. That was five years ago, and since then, "Stay Badass" has become our mantra at the roastery. It’s our promise to create coffee that meets the highest standards—if it’s not "badass," we simply won’t do it.

Versatility for Every Brew Style

Badass Bear is perfect for espresso lovers but is equally versatile for milk-based drinks or alternative brewing methods like:

• ☕ French Press
• ☕ Drip Machine
• ☕ Pour Over
• ☕ Aeropress
• ☕ Moka Pot

Brewing Recommendations

For the ultimate espresso experience:

• Use a 2:1 ratio (e.g., 20g coffee to 40g liquid yield).
• Brew at 9-bars of pressure, with a 28–32 second extraction time for the ideal balance of sweetness, complexity, and a long-lasting finish.
• Adjust your grinder to the finest setting before bitterness develops, then dial back slightly to find the sweet spot.
