Wholesale 4:30 a.m.

BALANCED, FULL BODIED, RICH. Current Coffee: Huila Colombia Some mornings you don't want a coffee that asks anything of you. 4:30am is the blend we reach for before red-eye flights, the morning before a long ride, and the specific misery of breaking camp before the sun is up. It's a single origin roasted dark enough to be toasty and comforting without tipping into bitter. Sessionable in the way that means you'll want a second cup, not in the way that means you've given up on quality. For espresso, we're pulling it tight: 19g in, 28g out (1:2) in 22-26 sec., keeping things short and dense for something that holds up to milk or stands on its own when you just need it to work.
