"The No.9 Roast has been especially developed by us for those of you that enjoy more traditional espresso roast profiles. You'll find a touch more bitterness than in lighter roasts, which works particularly well when balanced by adding milk. Serve black for an intense, well-balanced brew."
If you'd like to know about how the No.9 Roast came about, head over to our blog post here.
This is really solid, well-balanced coffee that is super easy to brew and it's been designed specifically for espresso - a first for us!
In your brew, you can expect to find a touch of nutmeg spice and a hint of dark chocolate-like bitterness, along with a gentle, blood orange-like acidity. The overall vibe is of sticky toffee and caramel. Yum.
The roast is just a tad more developed than we usually go for (but still no oil on the beans or anything like that - yuk!) and it's just perfect for those of you that like just that little bit more intensity and boldness in the cup.
It tastes amazing in espresso-based drinks as frequenters of Cafe No.9 in Nether Edge, Sheffield will no doubt tell you. Anyone looking for an easy-drinking, easy brewing coffee - look no further. Absolutely perfect for bean to cup machines too!
