1848
Our newest espresso, much like the second industrial revolution, is dark and gritty- but also full of life.
It has a touch of cacao nib, with warm tobacco, vanilla & a pop of pomegranate.
It was 1848 that the first railroad connection was laid from Chicago to Galena, Illinois.
It was the very beginning of rolling up sleeves in the gritty industrial yards of Pilsen.
It was the first year Chicago served as a vital connection point and distribution center.
The great gateway city.

2022 Golden Bean Award Bronze Winner
Our house espresso, 1848, brought home the bronze in best Chain-Store Milk.

I had this for the first time at one of your coffee shops, and I loved the latte that you made with it. When I got my own espresso machine, I knew it'd be this coffee that I kept on hand.
I drink 1848 almost every morning--either at the State St cafe or brewed at home. Typically I brew single origins at home, but the 1848 is a unique blend.
Pulls a decent shot at the right grind setting, but the flavor is too mild and weak for what I expect of a medium-dark roast.

This is one of my favorites but Uganda is tops to me. I wish you still offered it on your site.
