About This Coffee
Deep roast. Toasted sweetness. Smooth finish.
Umbra is our darker espresso blend, roasted a touch deeper than Vero for more warmth, richness, and roast character.
Expect toasted almond and brown sugar in a full, smooth cup with lingering sweetness. It has everything we love about a darker roast—depth, warmth, and body—without the bitterness that so often comes with it.
As espresso, Umbra pulls a rich, concentrated shot and carries beautifully through milk. French press and drip reveal a softer, equally satisfying side.
If you love Vero but prefer your coffee a little darker, Umbra is your next step.
Brew Umbra at its best
ESPRESSO

Our favorite
Deep, concentrated, and smooth, with toasted almond, brown sugar, and a rich, lingering finish.
Start here:
18 g coffee → 36 g espresso
Aim for roughly 25–30 seconds.
Adjust your grind finer if the shot runs too quickly, or coarser if it runs too slowly.

Rethinking the dark roast.
Umbra is our exploration of how far we can take a roast without losing what makes the coffee worth tasting.
We take it a touch darker than Vero, developing deeper caramelization, toasted almond, and brown sugar while preserving sweetness and a remarkably smooth finish.
There's no need for a dark roast to be bitter, burnt, or one-dimensional. Umbra has the warmth and depth people love about traditional dark coffee, but with more flavor left in the cup.
It's our darkest expression—and our challenge to what a dark roast can be.

Delicious coffee. My instant favorite.
The coffee is always strong, fresh, and delicious. It’s one of our favorites!
Umbra was delicious this morning! I did a pour over in my chemex, 1:16 ratio at 185F. Such a delicious bean, great job!!
I love the nuttiness.
Excellent as pour-over too.
I tried Umbra this morning and very much enjoyed it. I prefer darker roasts and found it to have the right amount of boldness without being bitter.
Finally, a dark espresso that isn't harsh.
Great as espresso.
It’s deeper, but incredibly smooth. Nothing harsh about it.
Umbra changed my mind about dark roasts.
I usually don't like dark coffee, but I love this.
I never drink dark roasts, but I like this one.
Rich without tasting burnt.
Bold but incredibly smooth.
My new favorite dark roast.
Such a full body.
Dark coffee doesn't have to be bitter.
