About The Sweet Life Espresso Blend
Named for the outdoor life surrounding Boulder, Colorado, The Sweet Life is the roaster’s brighter, sweeter espresso counterpart to its original blend. Three regional components are combined for pronounced crema, fruit-led sweetness and enough chocolate structure for milk drinks or drip coffee. Explore it alongside other specialty coffee selections available through Espresso Outlet.
This profile is designed around balance between aroma, sweetness, body and finish. Roast development and brew method will change the emphasis: filter brewing generally favors clarity, while espresso and immersion can increase concentration and perceived body.

Brewing Guidance
For espresso, begin with an 18 g dose and a 36–42 g beverage yield in about 25–32 seconds. Adjust grind first: finer if the shot runs fast or tastes sharp, coarser if it stalls or finishes harsh. For filter coffee, start near a 1:16 brew ratio and use drawdown and taste—not time alone—to judge extraction.
Use fresh, appropriately ground coffee and a consistent water recipe. A capable Turin grinder makes small grind adjustments repeatable. If you brew concentrated drinks, compare compatible Turin espresso machines and weigh both dose and beverage yield so changes are measurable.
Freshness, Degassing and Ordering
Check the variant selector for the currently available size, caffeine and grind choices. Roast date is not specified on this listing. Fresh coffee releases carbon dioxide after roasting, so brief degassing can make extraction more even; the useful rest period depends on roast level and brew method. Store the package sealed in a cool, dry place.
