SOURCING & INTENTION

Penrose, named after the triangle, is our seasonal espresso blend. We feel the perfect espresso is an impossible goal, but we still strive to create it. Penrose is our ever-updated offering in the quest for the perfect espresso. While the seasonal components will vary throughout the year, it is always (nearly) perfect for your hopper.

Penrose aims to:

• be a reliable and consistent offering
• be delicious with milk and without milk
• maintain seasonality and farm-to-cup traceability
• maintain a stable price point so it can be the main espresso on our bar and the bars of many of our wholesale partners
• be easy to dial-in on an espresso grinder

Penrose also does well in the brewer – look for notes of lasting sweetness and heavy body, with a subdued acidity.

The coffees used in our blends changes seasonally. To learn more about the coffees and blend ratios, visit our blends page.

DIAL-IN NOTES

We tend to pull shots of Penrose around a 1:2 ratio at our coffee bars. These shots generally take a total of 30-35 seconds to extract, with about 6 seconds of that time in pre-infusion.  We calibrate our machines to dispense water at 200 degrees.
