The Six Bean Story

Our Six Bean Espresso represents the culmination of our coffee expertise. We've traveled the world to source beans that complement each other perfectly:

  • East African beans (Kenya & Ethiopia) contribute bright, fruity notes and moderate acidity
  • Indonesian robusta adds body, crema, and that essential caffeine kick
  • Central and South American arabica provide the smooth, balanced finish that ties everything together

The result is more than just a blend it's a carefully orchestrated symphony of flavors designed specifically for espresso extraction. Each origin plays its part in creating the perfect shot, every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Six Bean Blend is specifically formulated for espresso extraction. The Indonesian robusta ensures exceptional crema formation, while the carefully balanced arabica beans from five different origins create a complex flavor profile that shines in concentrated form. The dark roast level is optimized for the high pressure and short extraction time of espresso brewing.

Thanks to the Indonesian robusta component, this blend contains approximately 20-30% more caffeine than pure arabica blends. While exact amounts vary, you can expect around 150-180mg of caffeine per double shot of espresso, compared to 120-140mg from typical arabica-only blends.

For espresso, use a fine grind that feels slightly coarser than powdered sugar. The grind should allow for a 25-30 second extraction time with proper resistance. If your shots pull too fast, grind finer; if they're too slow or bitter, grind slightly coarser.

Store your Six Bean Espresso in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the refrigerator or freezer, as condensation can damage the beans. For best flavor, use within 2-4 weeks of the roast date and grind just before brewing.

Absolutely! While optimized for espresso, this blend works excellently in moka pots, French press, and even pour-over methods. The robust flavor profile and higher caffeine content make it versatile for any brewing method where you want a bold, full-bodied cup.

Arabica beans offer complex flavors and pleasant acidity but have lower caffeine content. Robusta beans provide more caffeine, better crema formation, and a stronger, more bitter taste. Our blend uses primarily arabica for flavor complexity, enhanced with robusta for crema and caffeine boost.

Coffee was great.

Rich and not bitter

Really good whole bean espresso that grinds up a little dry but has lots of aroma and flavor. I definitely noticed the cacao and deeply pungent, sweetly fruity notes that practically sang in this coffee as they're bright on the palate and very present even after a few weeks in the canister. I do my best to keep my beans fresh but some brands just lose flavor even after a few days. I was impressed to find that these stayed pretty fresh for about two weeks or so, and the coffee tasted wonderful cup after cup. Not a lot of bitterness or acidity, just a gently round, mellow, smooth cup of coffee that produced lots of nice crema as well. I'm overal very happy with this brand of beans and would definitely consider purchasing them again. Recommended.

Good Espresso

This coffee comes in whole bean, and you can smell the aroma when you open the bag. It is a dark roast, and has low acidity and tastes a bit like chocolate. I ordered the six bean blend, and I must say that it makes a delicious espresso. Easy to grind, with a nice scent, and leaves no aftertaste of bitterness, which is great in a dark roast. I will say that while my husband drinks his coffee black, I use creamer or foamed milk in espresso (which I guess makes it a cappuccino), but it's very good either way. The price is decent for the amount you get and is comparable to other coffees on the market. I would purchase this again.

Not bad but a little bitter

Everyday People Coffee & Tea Six Bean Espresso was drinkable and fairly enjoyable. It wasn't as bold as I expect an espresso roast to be, and was slightly bitter and less smooth thank I like. I drink it black. My husband puts a bit of sugar in his and seemed that seemed to help the bitterness for him. It's not super bitter, just a hint, some people like that. The beans were fresh, easy to grind, and made a nice cup.

Fairly good, not the boldest flavor

For reference, we use a pour over coffee maker and we also drink it black (to really savor the flavors as much as possible). Overall, this coffee was good. It didn't quite stand out to me so much as others I've had. It wasn't so much of a bold flavor, so if you like that, then maybe try this coffee. It was just fine and gave me the caffeine kick I needed. In terms of freshness, it was also ok. These come as whole beans, which I always prefer so we can preserve the freshness a little longer and grind them ourselves. I really like the "sustainably sourced" aspect, and for that, I liked this coffee more.
