Opascope Espresso

We love the opascopes from our childhood classrooms. You remember the quaint tool teachers used to project handwriting and art onto larger surfaces? Our Opascope Espresso mirrors this spirit, amplifying careful craftsmanship. Lightly roasted to highlight the producers' artistry, it delivers an effervescent shot striped with tropicalia, offering a refreshing contrast to richer, chocolatey espressos.

The Making of Great Taste

Our roasters spend years dedicated to honing their passion to craft remarkably distinct profiles. They’re guided by visions of imagined flavor, always creating, unbridled by expectations. Our signature blends were born from this exploration and have become our most iconic coffees. Their creation took time, experimentation, and refinement — but we believe great taste is worth the pursuit.

Opascope

This blend was originally made to be exclusively sold in the Bay Area. It was crafted—roasted, tasted, and tweaked—by a small group of folks in our Oakland roastery. We wanted to create an espresso blend that was as illuminated and boisterous as the community we found in our hometown, Oakland. As our brightest espresso blend, Opascope was so beloved we wanted everyone to experience it.

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.
