Urban Espresso gets its life from Mexico. The Chiapas region. The Mexican coffee we add in helps to accentuate the blend’s distinctive nuttiness flavor. Chiapas, Mexico is on fertile land – pumice-heavy, with ash spilled from a nearby volcano. The distinctive nutty flavor of Chiapas’s coffee comes from both the soil here and the coffee varietals grown, which include Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Caturra, and Maragogype.

Chiapas, Mexico is not what you might expect. The region lies just to the north of Guatemala – it’s a humid, tropical region of former rain forests. It looks like a place off a coffee bag: cloud forests populated by quetzal birds with multicolored plumage. Rainfall here reaches 120 inches a year. Lush, and hot.

The Chiapas coffee mixes into the Urban Espresso blend nicely, bringing a balanced, smooth body with roasted nut, chocolate, and spicy notes. We chose to treat this coffee to a medium roast, creating a pleasing cup you’d want to sip on around the clock. The Urban Espresso blend also includes coffees from origins in South America, East Africa, and Mexico.

Below are some basic recipes outlining what we found produced the best cup with this coffee, however we encourage each home brewer to experiment and modify these recipes to suite their own tastes.

The moka pot brewing method is celebrated for its ability to produce rich, strong coffee with a distinct flavor profile, reminiscent of espresso. It's simple design allows for easy use on the stovetop, making it accessible for coffee lovers at home. Moreover, the moka pot extracts oil and crema, enhancing the coffee's aroma and body while maintaining a clean brewing process.
