Blue Bottle Coffeeさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Blue Bottle CoffeeInstagram)「Espresso is neither a type of roast nor a type of coffee bean. It’s a brewing method—one that forces water through a compact puck of coffee to create a drink that, when done well, rivals fine art. Technically, you can use any coffee for espresso. Our platonic ideal—and the one we use in our cafes for every espresso drink—is our Hayes Valley Espresso blend. This blend proudly clings to a nostalgic notion of Italian-style espresso but tries to push it to transcendence. At its best, it produces a drink that is dense, syrupy, voluptuous, caramelly, and complex, with a subtle brightness that never crosses the line to strident but also isn’t at all delicate. As a straight shot, it has lots of heavy and gorgeous crema, and with the addition of milk or cream, it tastes like the most luxurious chocolate milk you’ve ever had.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This National Espresso Day, we honor the work of @lvc.coffee who helps us source much of the coffee for our Hayes Valley Espresso blend. As an exporter and quality control manager, Los Volcanes prioritizes sustainability, coffee quality, and the livelihoods of their producer partners. See our stories for more. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And if you’re now craving an espresso drink like we are, pop by the cafe for a shot or a latte. (You can order ahead on the app.) For people who love the challenge of making espresso drinks at home, we created a whole-bean coffee subscription just for them.
