Built specifically for espresso extraction: a darker, fuller-bodied roast intended to produce thick crema and a balanced shot that also stands up well in milk. A featured customer testimonial on the product page reads: "I love the Espresso Blend. It has always been my favorite roast and is the benchmark to which I hold all other beans that I use." — Jack in Bellingham, WA. Expected profile based on Blue Star's description: deep, rich, low-acid, with the chocolate/caramel/toasted-nut character typical of a well-developed espresso blend. Should pull cleanly across most espresso setups without aggressive dialing. Brew suggestions: primarily espresso (single, double, cortado, latte), also viable as moka pot or AeroPress in espresso style. Tasting notes and personal rating coming after I actually pull shots with it — placeholder is intentional. --- ## Supernova Decaf — Blue Star Coffee Roasters URL: https://coffeediscoverylab.com/coffee/bluestar-supernova-decaf-2025/ | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Roaster | Blue Star Coffee Roasters (https://bluestarcoffeeroasters.com) | | Roast level | medium | | Process | other | | Origin | Blend | | Varietal | Blend | | Decaf | yes | | Price (USD) | $17 | | Bag size | 340 g | | My rating | 0 / 5 (unrated) | | Buy | https://bluestarcoffeeroasters.com/products/supernova-decaf | ### Tasting notes Blue Star's Swiss Water Process decaf out of Winthrop, WA. The roaster pitches Supernova as "rich and delicious" — equally at home pulled as espresso or brewed as drip — with chemical-free water processing intended to preserve as much of the original cup character as possible while pulling caffeine down to trace levels. Expected profile based on Blue Star's description: medium-bodied, smooth, with the rounded sweetness and low acidity typical of a quality water-processed decaf. A featured customer review on the product page calls it "the best decaf beans I've found – strong but smooth and so delicious." Brew suggestions: works across espresso, drip, AeroPress, and French press. I'll be trying it primarily as an afternoon espresso and as a French press alongside dessert. Tasting notes and personal rating coming after I actually brew this one — placeholder is intentional. --- ## Brazil Mogiana Decaf — Wind and Fire Coffee URL: https://coffeediscoverylab.com/coffee/windandfire-brazil-mogiana-decaf-2025/ | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Roaster | Wind and Fire Coffee (https://www.windandfirecoffee.com) | | Roast level | medium | | Process | other | | Origin | Brazil, Mogiana | | Varietal | Bourbon, Mondo Novo | | Altitude | 800–1200 m | | Decaf | yes | | Price (USD) | $13.99 | | Bag size | 340 g | | My rating | 0 / 5 (unrated) | | Buy | https://www.windandfirecoffee.com/product/brazil-decaf/ | ### Tasting notes Single origin decaf Brazilian coffee from the Mogiana region along the border of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais.

Hearth is crafted with Colombian peaberry coffee and roasted to deliver a flavor experience tailored for the winter season. It's certified organic, high in antioxidants, and tested for mold, mycotoxins and contaminants. Notes of toasted hazelnut, crème brûlée, hints of berry and cinnamon. Peaberry coffee is the result of a naturally occurring condition where only one seed develops inside the coffee fruit instead of two, resulting in a rounder, denser bean that receives all the nutrients and sugars, creating a sweeter flavor profile. --- ## Black Butte Gold — Sisters Coffee Company URL: https://coffeediscoverylab.com/coffee/sisters-black-butte-gold-2025/ | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Roaster | Sisters Coffee Company (https://sisterscoffee.com) | | Roast level | dark | | Process | other | | Origin | Brazil, Colombia, Papua New Guinea | | Decaf | no | | Price (USD) | $17 | | Bag size | 340 g | | My rating | 4.3 / 5 | | Buy | https://sisterscoffee.com/products/black-butte-gold | ### Tasting notes Named after the iconic butte just west of Sisters, Oregon, this blend has been a cornerstone of Sisters Coffee since their founding in 1989. Crafted to be both unique and consistent, Black Butte Gold combines coffees from Brazil, Papua New Guinea, and Colombia. Full-bodied with low acidity, this dark roast delivers rich flavors of dark chocolate, molasses, nutmeg, and roasted hazelnut. It pairs perfectly with cream and sugar but is equally delicious black. A foundational coffee that honors the original intentions of Sisters Coffee's founders while evolving with their roasting expertise over the decades. --- ## Espresso Chupacabra — Wandering Goat Coffee URL: https://coffeediscoverylab.com/coffee/wanderinggoat-espresso-chupacabra-2025/ | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Roaster | Wandering Goat Coffee (https://wanderinggoat.com) | | Roast level | omni | | Process | other | | Origin | Multi-Origin | | Decaf | no | | Price (USD) | $15 | | Bag size | 340 g | | My rating | 3.8 / 5 | | Buy | https://wanderinggoat.com/products/espresso-chupacabra | ### Tasting notes Wandering Goat's flagship coffee, perfected over thirteen months.
