#68 Espresso Blend

12 oz whole bean medium coffee

$17.50

Add to Cart

A bold roast with a heavy body and a spicy, almost old-world flavor. Ideal for espresso, sure, but also a delicious treat for a coffee lover who wields a mean french press.

If you’re an espresso lover, you can’t go wrong with Herkimer. We happen to know that Herkimer’s roastmaster is a huge espresso fan, and previously worked at La Marzocco, developing their top-of-the-line espresso machines. The last time we spoke with him, we discussed his love of espresso and how he roasts ever-so-slightly darker than the norm for his idea of the perfect shot: a short pull, with a thick, creamy body and intense flavor.

Whether you brew espresso, use a french press, or simply want the richest, boldest possible cup of drip, Herkimer has you covered. Enjoy this Espresso Blend, knowing it was roasted by a true espresso master!

Reviews & Ratings

Rachel Borges	★★★★★	★★★★★ medium roast is very flavorful and I love the smell, it's delicious!
Kristiana Kornegay	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good coffee, but our favorite still remains Herkimer's drip blend. Am guessing would be a lot better as espresso brew.
Alan Kelley	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very interesting flavors, but I tasted something almost chemical in the lemon/spice it provided. It was better with a french press but still present.
pamela weinstein	★★★★★	★★★★★ Herkimer is my go-to espresso roast. Consistently good and perfectly balanced, this is perfect in a Bialetti or pourover.
Josh	★★★★★	★★★★★ chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. This one is a chocoholic dream
Jennifer Griffin	★★★★★	★★★★★ One of my favorite coffee blends. I keep this on hand as a stand by!
Sadwyn Wolf	★★★★★	★★★★★ Definitely makes a solid espresso! I was intrigued by the description but not entirely sure how much I would like it. After trying it, however, it won me over. Maybe not my most favourite, but I enjoyed it and would happily drink it again.
Nicole S.	★★★★★	★★★★★ Herkimer is one of my favorite coffee shops and coffees. I love their espresso blend for americanos. It is a very smooth, delicious coffee.
Pam Graves	★★★★★	★★★★★ I did not think we'd like it based on its description, but we were pleasantly surprised. It has a really neat flavor. It has a good balance of the bold notes so they don't overpower the lighter notes.
Donna Monroe	★★★★★	★★★★★ This wasn't my favorite blend as far as flavors go, it also wasn't as dark as I prefer.
Barry Sherman	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a very solid espresso. The more I drink it, the more I like it. Recommended!
Emily Lincoln	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very unique flavor, the tobacco definitely adds something you don't find elsewhere!
Yue Ming Wu	★★★★★	★★★★★ Used it as an espresso and was too acidic to drink on its own, but pretty good as a cappuccino.
Jeni	★★★★★	★★★★★ I like this one. My boyfriend did not. I enjoy a strong cup with or without milk... him, not so much, it needs to be cut with milk in his opinion.
Kristan Lanza	★★★★★	★★★★★ Acidic, bitter, with hints of tobacco. It's drinkable, with milk or creamer.
Joseph Bengtson	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a unique coffee & some people will love while others will not. I enjoyed it very much and would order again.
rouroumax	★★★★★	★★★★★ Beans smell like juicy, ripe berries. Made it into my usual double 12 oz latte and it worked beautifully. Rich and round chocolatey flavors.
Robin Connally	★★★★★	★★★★★ Tried as espresso first, but the acidity was too much for me, so next time made a breve and it was palatable, but disappointing.
Peter Cornell	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good dark roast. Just throw it in the french press and don't feel bad about adding milk or whatever else to it. In fact I prefer this one with milk or in an espresso drink.
SJ	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very nice espresso bean will order again. Earthy and rich.
ANTHONY	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good, rich cup of coffee. I enjoyed Herkimer espresso blend.
Joseph Celentino	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great espresso!!! Would definitely purchase again!
Anthony graziano	★★★★★	★★★★★ Enjoyable but not excellent. I don't think I will be getting this again, middle forks Ethiopian was better in my opinion, and slightly cheaper.
Aiko Montgomery	★★★★★	★★★★★ I am typically a fan of dark roast coffees, however this was a full flavored rich brew that I really enjoyed. So much so, that I ordered a full bag once I tried it in my sampler! I brew with a french press.
Steph	★★★★★	★★★★★ We're not fancy or coffee afficianados by any means. These are the first beans we have used with our new espresso machine, but we love them! A full-bodied roast that give great flavor to our lattes. Neither my husband nor I find the tobacco flavor to be overpowering.
Maggie Kenney	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great espresso. I loved the finish. One of our new go-to coffee makers. Herkimer is known for there quality!
Katie	★★★★★	★★★★★ Love this roast from Herkimer. Pulls a great shot for hot or iced lattes and has a lovely chocolatey/earthy taste to it. Optimum temperature to brew at is 199ºF to 201ºF. Extraction time lasts between 25-30 seconds.
David Paolone-Webb	★★★★★	★★★★★ Herkimer was one of my favorite places to grab coffee when I lived in Seattle, and even to my amateur espresso making skills, it's still one of my favorites. Hit this with a little whole steamed milk and you get a nice chocolate front and an earthy round tobacco end. I love it!
Seth Denney	★★★★★	★★★★★ Herkimer's espresso blend is delicious if you're a fan of dark chocolatey coffees. It has very distinctive tobacco notes that I really enjoyed in the mornings relaxing in my recliner. My girlfriend found the tobacco a bit overpowering though, so your enjoyment of this blend is tied to that taste.
Ricardo Gutierrez	★★★★★	★★★★★ My new favorite espresso. Great balance of bright citrus acidity, berry sweetness, and chocolatey roasted coffee flavors with subtle background spices that were more pronounced in milk drinks. Tasted best as a ristretto: 18g beans for 21-24g espresso in 25 seconds, using 199° water.
mr	★★★★★	★★★★★ We drink it in the morning and it made a great cortado
