Southpaw

Our signature espresso blend: jabs of fruit, sugar, and spice with a floral aroma and clean finish. With notes of caramel, peach, and sugar cane, this light-medium roast delivers a delightful punch.

We roast our espressos on Mondays and Tuesdays and recommend letting Southpaw rest for 8 days before brewing.

The Signature Story

Southpaw is a bright and juicy espresso blend that earns its name from being nimble, surprising, and packed with a punch. Combining coffees from Latin America and Africa, the shot is well-balanced, achieving a complex and sweet flavor profile with enough body to shine in short milk drinks.

Southpaw is designed to work well as a straight shot or in drinks 6 ounces and under, such as a cortado or macchiato.

Brew Parameters

If your machine is programmable, we recommend pulling this espresso with the group head set at 199 degrees Fahrenheit. Please note: though we offer an Espresso Grind option, we strongly recommend that you grind your own espresso due to the variability of home espresso machines and the fine-tuning required to dial in shots.

Yield: 32-36 grams
Time: 26-30 seconds

Southpaw is best dialed in as a straight, slightly ristretto shot.
