1848
The spirit of this espresso is to evolve every six months or so. It's gotten better with each iteration. Our newest blend, much like the second industrial revolution, is energy-filled and vibrant and full of life.
It has a touch of cacao nib, with warm tobacco, vanilla & a pop of pomegranate.
It was in 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.

Our house espresso, 1848, brought home the bronze in best Chain-Store Milk.

This is my favorite espresso. It’s roasted just the right amount. I like the chocolatey notes. Super well balanced, it’s my daily go-to.
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.
