Espresso Maximo is by far our most popular espresso We roast it to a medium-dark color which allows all of the bold flavors to come forth. This espresso is sweet with notes of chocolate and caramel throughout the cup. More subtle notes of graham cracker and cherry make an appearance, but the sweetness is by far the dominant flavor in Maximo.
