GRAN MISCELA CARMO #1339

A sticky bun in a mug? You better believe it! Caffe Lusso’s Gran Miscela Carmo Espresso is a big, medium-roast blend of chocolaty Brazilian beans that will satisfy any sweet tooth… and then some. At first sip, you’ll taste a toasted-sugar sweetness and a velvety chocolate body, with a light, creamy note reminiscent of oat milk or soy milk. Plenty of nutty praline in the finish, like the sugar-dusted almonds on top of your croissant. Crafted in classic Italian style, this coffee is designed for success in any brewing method, espresso or drip, and goes especially well with milk.

Caffè Lusso founder and roaster, Philip Meech, has been in the coffee world since 1994, and helped pioneer the farm-direct sourcing model. He prides himself on his farm relationships, and hand-roasts each coffee to accentuate its individual flavors. He’s also passionate about the Italian coffee tradition: Lusso means “luxury” in Italian, and the four Ms on his logo represent the four M’s of great coffee: Miscela (blend), Macinatura (grinder), Macchina (the brewer or espresso machine), and Mano (the hand of the barista). What do all those M’s add up to? A cup that’ll make you go “mmmm!”

With flavors of chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts, it’s no wonder this coffee is a cult classic among espresso lovers, and one of the coffee world’s best-kept secrets for drip and cold brew. Indulge in Caffe Lusso’s award-winning Gran Miscela Carmo blend — a “sticky bun” brew that has to be tasted to be believed.

Pulling notes of caramel from the Canaan Estate and roasted nuts from the Condado Estate, this sumptuous blend is crafted atop a foundation of a chocolatey Peaberry coffee. The balance and complexity are best highlighted as espresso, particularly when enjoyed as a cappuccino, latte, or americano.
