Umbra

Elegance, in the dark.

 

About This Coffee

Deep roast. Toasted sweetness. Smooth finish.

Umbra is our dark-roast Indonesian 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.

MILK DRINKS

★★★★★

Umbra's deeper roast character carries beautifully through milk—ideal for cappuccinos, flat whites, and lattes.

Full, smooth, and deeply satisfying. French press brings out Umbra's generous body, toasted sweetness, and velvety texture.

DRIP

★★★★★

A beautifully balanced dark cup with plenty of depth, brown sugar sweetness, and a remarkably smooth finish.

MOKA POT

★★★★★

Rich and concentrated, bringing Umbra's toasted almond and deeper roast character to the foreground.

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.

Dark roast coffee doesn't have to taste bitter, burnt, or one-dimensional.

It's our darkest expression—and our challenge to what a dark roast can be.
