Medium Roast
Â
Our flagship espresso blend is sweet like caramel in a latte, but complex like merlot and dark chocolate as a straight shot.
Our award-winning flagship espresso blend is famous throughout the land and represents our company's ethos in the best possible way - straightforward quality without the hipster hype.
(INSERT DUBIOUS ORIGIN STORY)
Jeff and Tony were arguing (as usual). This time it was about what to name their flagship espresso blend. “Has to be something good”, said Tony. “What?” Said Jeff. “Good”, said Tony. “Has to be something good!” “What?” Said Jeff. “Hard to hear you when the Red Line train is passing overhead!” And that’s how it was named.

So good that family in Portland, OR claim it as their favorite!! Thus, several times a year they receive a delivery of Redline.
Easily my preferred espresso. Tied many varieties, brim many roasters, and redline just is the best
One of my favorite Metropolis Blends!
With coffee getting even more expensive I've but getting bulk subscriptions to support my espresso habit. My process is to split into small vacuum sealed bags and store in a chest freezer in the basement until needed. See below for what i get from one large bag. Each individual bag lasts me roughly a week, and even at the end (two months after delivery) it seems fresh enough.
My grandma started giving me coffee at the ripe age of 7 and after 20 years drinking various coffees, I can confidently say this one is by far the best I’ve ever come across. I’ve traveled all over Europe (recognizing they aren’t the only ones with good coffee, but it’s my only frame of reference and they’re better than the US) and nothing even came close to this. I’m usually someone who needs their coffee sweet, but this stuff is so good I find myself passing on the sugary creamers more often than not. I also used to love trying other brands, but now after having this, the bar is just too high that I had to stop because nothing would measure up and it just felt like a waste of money. Seriously, thank you to the founders of this brand and all its workers!! You're the reason why I start each day with a smile on my face and can power through an entire workday!
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
