Tracked to Huila
Built for pressure. Huila Caturra gives the black cherry, a slower roast gives the syrupy body, and together they pull a shot that sinks straight to the bottom of the cup and stays there. Milk drinks love it.
★★★★★
“Crush Depth pulls the thickest, darkest shot I've ever served. My regulars ask for it by name.”
