Pacemaker is our house espresso blend since the beginning!

While the name, country of origin of the components and flavour profile stay the same all year round, the lots/producers change with the seasons. Why? Because we only source and roast relatively small lots of fresh harvest coffee.

Pacemaker always features a washed process Colombian and a washed Ethiopian—you can see which particular origins make the current Pacemaker blend just below.
