## What the Brand Says

> Built for the espresso machine, our Hawaiian Espresso Roast is the darkest, boldest coffee we make. Developed by Kona Earth roaster Steve Wynn, this award-winning espresso roast captures the essence of a traditional Italian roast, dark and bittersweet with rich notes of chocolate and hazelnut, and it stands up beautifully to steamed milk for lattes and cappuccinos. Sourced from the mineral-rich soil of the Kona growing region and made with high-elevation, Hawaii-grade beans, it pours with a smooth body and remarkably low acidity that lets the flavor shine. It earned the 2025 Global Coffee Award for Origin Roasted in Hawaii, and like all of our coffee, it's shipped whole bean and farm-direct for supreme freshness. If you pull your own shots at home, this 16 oz espresso roast is made to become your everyday go-to.
