US Barista Champ’s Espresso on the Bar

Starting today and for a limited time (we only have about 2lbs) we’ll be offering shots of Kyle Glanville’s USBC winning espresso- Finca Matalapa, courtesy of the Black Cat Project. This is the same lovely coffee we’ve been brewing on the Clover in the Strip, but with an espresso roast profile. This coffee took Intelli and Kyle to the top at the United States Barista Championships, and was only roasted on one day so you won’t be able to get it again this year. We’ve let it rest for one week and according to the brewing instructions they shipped with the coffee we’re ready to roll right now!

We’re only offering it as a double, and only as a straight shot, traditional cappuccino, cortado, or macchiato. It’s a super sweet fruit punch explosion, in my opinion… I’ve had two today.

Congrats Kyle

Congratulations to Kyle Glanville of Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea - Los Angeles, this years U.S. Barista Champion.  Kyle is one of the people in the coffee business that we admire for the way that he represents himself, his company, and the wonderful coffees they source and deliver to us every week.
