Holy Roastin' Empire

Greenville, Texas

Espresso

Espresso machines. A fine grind for pressurized brewing, where hot water is forced through a compacted puck of coffee.

The grind

Fine. Pressurized brewing wants a fine grind: hot water forced through a compacted puck of coffee.

The method

Wrong grind, wrong cup: too fine for your brewer and the water stalls; too coarse and it rushes through under-extracted. When in doubt, start from the brewer — the guide follows the brewer, not the bag.

Keep it fresh

Keep opened bags sealed and away from heat and light.

The house espresso roast

The Night Watch is the house's dark espresso roast — Brazil, Colombia, and Honduras, roasted Dark / Espresso and crowned with deep crema. Every roast in the Granary is sold as a 12 oz bag in Espresso grind, and the Night Watch is the one built for the machine.
