For its 02*West House Brew blend, the Quo Coffee roastery has experimented with a combination of beans from Brazil, Ethiopia, and Honduras. The result is a classic, balanced, and beautifully sweet espresso with a full-bodied profile reminiscent of cardamom-spiced coffee andcreamy milk chocolate. No wild flavors, no excessive acidity, just a laid-back cup you’ll reach for when you want something reliable, smooth, and pleasantly drinkable. It’s exactly the kind of coffee that won’t get lost in your daily routine. It’ll give you a pleasant start in the morning, won’t disappoint in the afternoon, and thanks to its smooth character, it’ll appeal even to those who mainly look for sweetness, body, and a calmer flavor profile in their coffee.
The blend consists of 60% Bob-o-link coffee from São Paulo , Brazil, 20% Ethiopian Gushe Buna coffee from Ephrem Mulugeta in the Kaffa region, and 20% Bella Vista coffee from Yensi Sanchez in El Paraíso , Honduras. With this blend, Quo Coffee is also working with the idea of sustainably purchasing larger volumes of coffee from producers with whom it has long-term partnerships. This results in a coffee that is more affordable, yet still fully traceable and thoughtfully composed. The Brazilian component brings sweetness, a chocolate base, and roundness; Ethiopia adds a subtler fruity dimension; and Honduras nicely balances the entire blend with clarity and a pleasant texture. Together, this creates a coffee that feels simple but is definitely not boring.
The roast for this coffee is labeled as Developed, so expect a slightly fuller, sweeter, and smoother profile. The blend was created primarily for espresso, where its chocolatey sweetness, round body, and excellent balance truly shine. In espresso, it offers a subtle fruitiness in the background, low acidity, and a long, sweet finish. Thanks to the fuller roast, it also pairs wonderfully with milk, so it doesn’t get lost even in a cappuccino, flat white, or latte. If you like a sweeter espresso with a creamy body and chocolatey character, this is a very safe choice.
