Espresso Lago di Como

Espresso Lago di Como is a rich, smooth espresso blend that carries the easy elegance of an Italian lakeside morning. Freshly roasted on demand in our Montréal facility, it opens with sweet almond, cocoa, and a soft note of vanilla over a rounded, satisfying body. Made for milk, it turns a cappuccino or latte into something quietly indulgent.

Tasting Notes

Lago di Como sits in the middle of the intensity scale, rich and characterful without heaviness. Toasted almond and cocoa lead, wrapped in a gentle vanilla sweetness over a smooth, creamy body. It is balanced enough to enjoy black, but it truly shines under steamed milk, where its dessert-like notes come forward.

Origin

This is a blend of 100% Arabica beans sourced from growers across South America and Asia. Combining beans from two regions gives the cup its depth and its signature almond-and-cocoa character, along with the natural sweetness that makes it so at home in milk drinks. The result is a refined, consistent espresso from bag to bag.

Roast

Espresso Lago di Como is finished at a medium roast, developed to build body and caramelise the beans' natural sugars into a rounder, sweeter cup. As a blend, it carries our Medium Roast designation rather than a single-origin roast profile, keeping the almond, cocoa, and vanilla in balance while giving the espresso its smooth, elegant character.

Brewing

For espresso, use about 1 tbsp (8 g) of coffee per 1 oz of fresh water. For filter or drip coffee, use 1 tbsp (8 g) per 8.5 oz of fresh water.
