Black Dog Coffee - Diego Spro Blend
Designed specifically for espresso, Diego Spro is a purposeful collision of two legendary coffee origins. At the base, a washed Guatemala Huehuetenango is roasted to a medium-dark level to provide the foundational weight and structure necessary for a rich extraction. This high-altitude lot brings a deep, chocolatey resonance and a creamy mouthfeel that stands up beautifully to milk. To elevate the blend, we’ve integrated a washed Ethiopia Guji roasted to a precise medium. This second component acts as a high-toned aromatic topper, cutting through the density with a vibrant acidity and refined floral layers. The result is a sophisticated espresso that offers the best of both worlds: the comforting, sugary depth of Central America and the exotic, tea-like complexity of East Africa.
In the cup, Diego Spro is a study in balance. The darker-roasted Guatemala yields heavy notes of dark chocolate, toasted almond, and caramelized brown sugar, providing a syrupy base that anchors the blend. This sweetness is punctuated by the Guji’s bright, clean influence, which introduces nuanced layers of stone fruit and a crisp citrus zest. As the shot pulls, you’ll find a harmonious blend of cocoa-heavy richness and an elegant, lingering finish of jasmine and dried apricot. Whether served as a straight double shot or as the foundation for a latte, this blend offers a transparent, high-clarity experience that celebrates the distinct terroir of two of the world’s most coveted growing regions.
A very versatile blend across brewing methods, whether it's a pour-over, French press, or espresso.
