What is espresso roast?

When someone uses the term, “espresso roast,” they’re often referring to a darker roast more traditionally used for the espresso brewing style. Espressos generally sport a full-bodied and flavorful punch, with Midnight Magic bringing raspberry and dark chocolate to the party. Yes, there will be a slight smokiness to these dark roasts, but it shouldn’t overwhelm the other flavors. Espresso shots are often used in lattes and cappuccinos, so this boldness allows the flavors to cut through the milk. Of course, espresso also comes as a shot for those needing that quick burst of energy. 

How should I grind coffee beans for espresso?

Grind coffee beans to an extra fine consistency for espresso. This consistency should resemble something like powdered sugar. According to Serious Eats, the Baratza Encore ESP Coffee Grinder is a good starter grinder for the needed espresso consistency.

Can I use espresso roast for regular coffee?

Absolutely! The best use of this dark roast may be for espresso, but it will also make for a flavorful, strong cup of standard coffee.

How should I store coffee beans?

According to the National Coffee Association, storing roasted coffee beans at room temperature maintains their flavor for about 1-3 weeks. To maintain this shelf life for coffee beans, make sure you store them in a dry and cool place, while also keeping them out of direct sunlight. Even storing them in an opaque container (versus something transparent) can help block that unneeded sunlight. Also, do not pre-grind them! You’ll want to grind them right before you brew your coffee or make your espresso. Remember, coffee doesn’t “go bad” (unless it grows mold), but it will lose its flavor.
