1729 beans

Rich, bittersweet depth that coats the palate — cocoa, baker's chocolate and a cup built on intensity rather than sweetness.

Dark chocolate coffees lean into deep, bittersweet cocoa: the slightly bitter edge of baker's chocolate, dry cocoa solids, and a lingering, mouth-coating richness. This is the classic profile of Brazilian and Central American beans and of fuller roasts, where sugars caramelise into low, resonant flavour. Anyone who loves a comforting, full-bodied cup — especially with milk or as espresso — will find dark chocolate coffee endlessly satisfying.
