Nine Bars Espresso

chocolate, cherry, citrus
Roast Level: 4
$17.00

Nine Bars is our signature espresso, roasted and blended to deliver classic espresso taste notes. Our current version blends coffees from El Vergel in Colombia, and Daterra Estate in Brazil. We purposely apply heat more gently and extend the roast on these two coffees, to help dial back the acidity in the cup.

Additional Info

The Spring and Summer 2024 version of Nine Bars delivers more sweetness and chocolate notes up front, with the cherry and citrus taking more of a secondary role. This is a versatile espresso, at multiple extractions, very pleasing on its own or when combined with steamed milk. Also, very wonderful as a filtered coffee, iced coffee, or cold brew.

Our Nine Bars blend may change seasonally to utilize the freshest coffees available, but we strive to keep the taste in the cup consistent.

We suggest: 18-19g dose, 40-45g extraction, 25-30 seconds, 202F

Net Weight: 12 oz.

Wonderful coffee

This is a very nice coffee and it’s so easy to order from Speedwell. I would like more of a blueberry taste like Speedwell used to sell.

The BEST

Best coffee EVER. I had a cup of Speedwell Nor'Easter back in 2024 in Cape Cod. I never forgot it. Finally bought 5 pounds of it this year and I am beside myself. Yum yum yum!!

It's bold, with a smooth flavor profile, has a more pronounced crema which I enjoy,.. highly recommended.

A True Bargain

I don't indulge in elaborate reviews that go into specific flavors. I think this is reasonably smooth, some bright fruit tartness and is well balanced.

To make this simple: If this were the only coffee I had to drink for the rest of my life, I would be a happy man. And at this price, it is a super bargain.

Big fan

This is my favorite. Easy drinking…nice flavor. Has the right amount of roasting and flavor for me—not bitter like starbucks. Closer to a dunkin w way more flavor! I tried a 1 lb bag and now we buy the 5 lb bag regularly.

herbaceous, but not tea like

Central/South American tends to be our go to, however the Kayon Mountain is a pleasant departure from bolder (chocolate and plum) flavors. What can be challenging about African blends is they often carry heavy floral notes that can come across as sour. This has a nuanced profile that we have enjoyed as a drip or pour over. It is sweet, but still provides lingering notes (~caramel) that provide a satisfying cup.
