Big Riff is our slightly darker take on a medium roast. It’s sweet, creamy and perfectly balanced. Have it in the morning, as an aperitif, or for dessert - the possibilities are endless. Our vision behind Big Riff is to offer a roast with a little more development that highlights the coffees dried fruit and plum notes. It is the perfect option for espresso but also a well-rounded drip offering.
These coffees greet you “with arms wide open.” They’ll stay level if you’re a cream-and-sugar type or if you prefer your coffee straight-up. Like the north star, whichever way you wander, these coffees will never lead you astray. It’s all in the name; these coffees balance a round milk chocolate backbone and a hint of nuttiness that is undeniably comfortable and crushable.
