The Black Cat Classic Espresso is a syrupy sweet blend that has been the staple of Intelligentsia's lineup since the very beginning. Its supreme balance and wonderful sweetness make it a truly classic espresso. Intelligentsia's commitment to Direct Trade allows them to cut out unnecessary importers and exporters, enabling them to partner directly with their growers to bring their customers the sweetest coffees in the world.

For the best espresso brewing experience, Intelligentsia recommends a fine grind, and the finished espresso should weigh 2.5 times as much as the coffee dose, providing an excellent total extraction and maximizing the flavor. The components of Intelligentsia's blends change throughout the year to incorporate new arrivals, ensuring freshness and optimizing quality while maintaining consistent profiles.
