Equator Coffees - 'Jaguar Espresso' Coffee Beans (10.5OZ)

Organic, fair-trade certified, and built to taste like intensely dark chocolate — the one espresso note traditionalists and new-schoolers both admit they want. It cuts clean through milk, with candied nuts, a little spice, and enough dark fruit to stay three-dimensional.

The safe pick for a milk-drink household that still wants the shot underneath to mean something. Pull it as a cappuccino base and it holds.
