If you're on the hunt for a whole bean espresso, then let's talk about our Defender Espresso Blend.

Crafted from three of our favorite single-origins, Brazil Mogiana, Colombia Cauca, and Guatemala Huehuetenango, Defender offers the perfect balance of sweetness, full body, and a syrupy richness. It’s perfect for a morning espresso.

So, what's special about this blend? Well, Defender is inspired by the classic Italian espresso. It’s full-bodied, rich, and sweet—just like an espresso should be. No fruity, floral notes here—just a classic, no-nonsense espresso. It’s the kind of coffee your Italian grandmother would slap you for messing up.

Now, about that name Defender. It comes from our owner Jim’s time spent in Italy, where he fell in love with true Italian espresso. After years of perfecting the craft, he wanted to create an espresso that would “defend” the rich, traditional flavors of Italian espresso. Which is rare in a world full of light, bright, and fruity espressos.

And let’s talk about the love it gets from our regulars. If you’ve visited one of our cafes, you know Defender is our top seller. Whether you’re a fan of a smooth latte or prefer just espresso, this blend has something for everyone. We even have customers who order Defender by the 5-pound bag regularly.

But don’t just take our word for it—try it for yourself. If you’ve been drinking the same old espresso and wondering why it never quite hits the mark, the Defender Espresso Blend might just be what you’ve been looking for.
