Based in Oakland, California,  roasts its coffee over an oakwood fire. You’d think the result would be a smoky cup—it’s not. According to the company, heat from a wood fire has a higher moisture content. That translates to beans that roast slower and a final product with low acidity but plenty of deep baritone notes. Mr. Espresso tags this blend as having a caramel finish, and I tasted dark chocolate, too. It’s a perfect cup for someone who wants the richness of espresso out on the trail.

Mr. Espresso is now offering Steeped Coffee!

What is Steeped Coffee, you ask? Steeped Coffee is premium, single-serve coffee pouches in the form of a filter bag. Each filter bag is filled with ground Organic and Fair Traded and is nitro-sealed to preserve freshness.
 
Steeped works just like tea; dunk and steep the bag in hot water until a light brown crema form, usually within a few minutes. We get the best results by:
  • using a pre-heated cup or mug
  • use water that is between 200-205 degrees (just under boiling)
  • pouring the first 4 oz over the bag to “pre-wet” and “dunk” the bag several times, followed by the 2nd 4 oz of hot water
  • covering the cup or mug with a lid or saucer to maintain the heat
  • allowing to steep for a minimum of 5 minutes

After 5 minutes you can either remove the pouch to enjoy your coffee, or “let it ride” by leaving the pouch in the brew, which will create a richer, fuller bodied cup of coffee by the minute.

Oh and did we mention that Steeped bags are created in the most eco-friendly way possible? Each Steeped bag and its outer packaging are made using renewable, plant-based, non-GMO, and fully compostable materials.
