Description
Contemporary 1 is a classic espresso with plenty of natural sweetness and a familiar flavor profile with little acidity. The interplay of our coffees from Brazil, Colombia, and India brings to mind chocolate, nougat, and roasted hazelnuts. Strong on its own or pleasantly noticeable with (oat) milk, it is the ideal espresso for every day.
