Dark Roast
Inspired by Japan. Roasted in Chicago. Brewed at Home. Sawada Coffee.
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.
We aim to create an approachable environment where everyone has a seat at the table and the bean benefits all.
With every brew, we pour our passion and expertise into designing a cup of coffee with your pleasure and tastes in mind.
Ethically sourced from farmers and vetted brokers, every cup helps ensure fair compensation, sustainable growing practices, and community well-being.
As coffee nerds, we have a quirky outlook sourced from the early days of science fiction, fantasy, and lore.
Metropolis makes a deep, tasty, coffee, with hints of chocolate. Treat yourself!
Really good, good flavor. Good hot or cold.
Was recently looking for a more cost-effective yet convenient way to obtain freshly roasted Project X beans. Nothing beats having 4 bags show up on your doorstep roasted just a few days prior!
Great blend, no bitterness at all, even after being left in the pot. I drink it black, and have even reheated it for lunch!
Simply the best!
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
