Motown Espresso is our Italian-inspired, Detroit-built espresso blend designed to be bold, forgiving, and deeply satisfying. It delivers big flavor, heavy body, and a thick, persistent crema—whether you’re pulling straight shots or building milk-based drinks.
From the first sip, you’re hit with rich, sharp dark chocolate notes that immediately anchor the cup. As it opens up, layers of caramel candy, toasted hazelnut, and brown sugar sweetness come through, rounding out the intensity without ever tasting burnt or bitter. The finish is long and indulgent, lingering on the palate with flavors reminiscent of Snickers bars, Nutella-filled crêpes, and classic chocolate confections.
This is an espresso that’s built to perform. Motown Espresso stands confidently on its own as a straight shot, but truly shines when paired with dairy or alternative milks, cutting cleanly through milk with structure and balance while maintaining its chocolate-forward character. It’s the kind of espresso that still tastes like coffee—even in a 12-oz latte.
The blend itself is composed of 5–6 coffees from multiple origins, carefully selected and roasted to work together as a cohesive whole. Each component plays a role—contributing sweetness, body, crema production, and depth—resulting in a smooth, big-bodied espresso that’s approachable yet complex.
Motown Espresso represents more than a flavor profile—it’s the result of over 15 years of refinement, dialing in roast curves, blend ratios, and sourcing to create a true workhorse espresso. One that’s reliable behind the bar, expressive in the cup, and satisfying at any time of day.
Bold. Chocolate-forward. Built to last.
