Hair Bender repeatedly appears on lists and forum threads of the best espresso roasts, and I completely agree.
With a strong toffee and fudge profile and hints of dark fruit, it’s a deliciously complex roast that works for both a bright morning espresso or an after-dinner dessert.
This dark roast isn’t especially oily, which makes it ideal for super-automatic espresso machines.
And the Stumptown packaging, while odd-looking, is among the best at locking in the freshness.
