Coffee Beans for Espresso Martinis
For a chocolate-forward espresso martini, our recommendation is V-Tach™ brewed as espresso. Its dark chocolate, caramelized sugar and roasted-nut notes pair with the coffee liqueur in the cocktail. These are natural tasting notes; the coffee has no added flavoring or alcohol.
Choose the 12 oz whole bean bag and grind for your espresso machine. Read our guide to choosing coffee for espresso martinis for a recipe, brewing choices and tips for balancing the drink.

Flavor, brewing & the story behind this coffee
We roast this blend of Brazilian, Kenyan and Guatemalan Arabica coffee in small batches at Firehouse Coffee in Pennsylvania. Its chocolate-forward character carries through steamed milk, while its balance makes it just as enjoyable as an espresso or Americano.
Whole Bean Espresso or Ground Coffee?
For an espresso machine, choose whole bean espresso coffee and grind it fresh with a grinder that lets you make fine adjustments. That gives you control over how quickly the shot flows and how it tastes. Follow your machine's brewing guidance, then adjust for the balance you enjoy.
Our ground option is listed as a medium grind, making it a convenient choice for drip brewing. If you need a particular grind for an espresso machine or moka pot, contact the Bean Team before ordering, or choose whole bean and grind for your brewer.
Using a Breville, Meraki or De’Longhi espresso machine? Check your model's bean and grinder requirements before ordering. Our home espresso machine bean guide covers whole-bean brewing, Meraki's manual recipe option and De’Longhi's guidance for fully automatic grinders.
From Your First Bag to a 5 lb Espresso Supply
Choose a 12 oz bag of whole bean espresso to get to know V-Tach, a 1 lb whole bean bag for your daily routine, or 5 lb espresso beans for a busy home coffee bar or shared break room.
