Espresso Massimo is our boldest espresso blend, built for anyone who takes their espresso strong, dense, and unapologetically intense. Freshly roasted on demand in our Montréal facility, this Robusta-forward blend pulls a thick, lasting crema over a heavy, full body with serious punch. If you love a powerful cup pushed to maximum intensity, this is the one. Tasting Notes Massimo sits right at the top of the intensity scale, prized for sheer power and body. A generous 90% Robusta base gives it a deep, earthy strength and a dense, syrupy crema, while a measure of Arabica rounds the edges. It is bold and full-bodied, with a lingering finish that stands up to milk or holds its ground as a short, potent shot. Origin This is a blend of 90% Robusta and 10% Arabica, with the Robusta drawn from growers in Asia and the Arabica from South America. That high proportion of Robusta is what gives Massimo its body, its thick crema, and its notably high caffeine, while the Arabica adds a note of balance and aroma. It is a blend engineered for intensity from the ground up. Roast Espresso Massimo is finished at a medium roast, developed to build body and caramelise the beans' natural sugars for a fuller, rounder cup. As a blend, it carries our Medium Roast designation rather than a single-origin roast profile, letting the Robusta's natural strength come through while keeping the espresso smooth and drinkable.
