A dark blend with an espresso purpose
Named in tribute to AC-130 crews, Spectre is built around the roaster’s chocolate-led blend of Colombian and Indonesian coffee. An espresso roast can also be brewed with a drip brewer or French press. Select whole bean when you want precise control over grind for a conventional espresso basket.
Brewing guidance
Begin with a balanced shot before adding milk. If the finish is harsh, try a small adjustment to yield or grind instead of simply increasing the dose. For drip, use a medium grind and a moderate brew strength to assess the chocolate and toffee character.
For whole-bean preparation, explore Turin coffee grinders and choose a model that supports your brew method.

A measured starting recipe
For espresso, use a dose suited to your basket. An 18 g dose with a 36 g beverage yield is a useful 1:2 starting ratio. Adjust grind size to balance sweetness, acidity and finish. Weigh the output instead of relying on crema volume; keep the dose fixed while dialing in, then test a longer or shorter yield.
More preparation and product questions
Where does this coffee come from?
Colombia and Sumatra, Indonesia.
What roast profile is listed?
Dark espresso roast.
What cup or flavor profile is described?
Chocolate and toffee.
Which formats are listed?
Whole bean or ground. Check the current selection menu for the available combinations.
How do I adjust strength without losing balance?
Change the coffee-to-water ratio when the flavor is balanced but the cup is too weak or concentrated. Use grind adjustments when the problem is extraction, keeping dose and water quantity constant for comparison.
Should I judge the coffee only while piping hot?
Taste again as the cup cools toward a comfortable drinking temperature. Sweetness, acidity, body and finish may become easier to distinguish before you decide how to adjust the next brew.
