Product Story

PROJECT X is an espresso and coffee blend created for Sawada Coffee and Hiroshi Sawada by Metropolis Coffee Company. Starting from samples of beans Hiroshi roasted for his Tokyo cafe, and working in secret (Code Name: “Project X”), Metropolis fashioned a blend that seamlessly recreated not just the flavor of his classic Japanese style, but also its intent. Coffee may be a simple and everyday experience, but when it’s perfect, it makes part of your day perfect, too. That’s world-class coffee culture.

Best for:
  • DRIP COFFEE
  • ESPRESSO BLEND
  • FRENCH PRESS

Happy we can get this online

We used to live near sawada and used to get these in person but we moved and can't go anymore. It is awesome that we can get this online now and it is aligned with the freshest roast date - which ensures that we get fresh beans. Thank you!

Amazing!

My husband and I just love Sawada coffee! We got an espresso machine as wedding gift and thought to purchase their coffee beans and they did not disappoint! Will be ordering again!
