17ft Ceiling
Whole Bean Espresso
The trick to this sturdy, crema-heavy espresso is the inclusion of organic “fine” Robusta from India. This species of coffee has zero acidity and a ton of body, giving 17ft Ceiling its backbone. Next to Hayes Valley Espresso, which is like consuming a volume of In Search of Lost Time in liquid form, 17ft Ceiling is like flipping through The New Yorker—edifying without being overly taxing.
Typically ships in 1 to 3 business days.

Blend Story
17ft Ceiling
Named for the building specs in our Mint Plaza cafe, 17ft Ceiling is our take on the blue-collar Italian espresso blend. For it, dark-roasted organic coffees, including an Ethiopian natural for fruity sweetness and robusta for its leathery bitterness, build a dynamic tension. The robusta, standard in the classic Italian profile, harnesses bracing coffee flavors.
Roasting Profile
Small Batch Coffee, Fresh-Roasted Daily to Order
We employ the Japanese notion of Kaizen in our roasting practice. This idea of “good change” or “continuous improvement” drives our team to keep daily records of their tastings, always chasing better, more delicious, more consistent coffees.
We roast small batches on Loring machines around the world, so our coffee tastes not only luminous, but reliably consistent, from Tokyo to New York.
