Leftist Espresso Blend

Leftist is our default espresso blend. We've crafted it so it tells a story to your tastebuds.

It'll give your palate something to smile about while your brain and body crank into overdrive.

Blend Profile

Our baristas pull shots of Leftist all day every day, so can you blame us for being obsessed with it? This balanced mix of single-origin beans is optimized for espresso. It's our trade-secret blend, crafted in the Italian tradition, and we've found it's just the thing to inspire artists and revolutionaries. It shines through the sweetness of milk and stands alone as a tiny cup of luxurious red-brown crema with a silky body.

About Gimme! Blends

Each of our blends starts with an idea. Sometimes we're inspired by a craft beer or fine wine; sometimes we want to showcase an outstanding bean or create our own version of a traditional blend. Our Master Roaster takes this idea into the cupping room, where we spread out a palette of single-origin beans. The blend comes together like a puzzle, piece by piece. First comes the anchoring base note; next we choose the high note and finish. Finally we tune the proportions to bring the whole mix into balance, so that no one flavor dominates. The resulting blend is greater than the sum of its parts.
