☕ Why Guatemala Espresso?

The espresso method—9 bars of pressure in 25–30 seconds—requires dense, high-quality beans. Guatemala’s volcanic highlands are famous for producing just that. These high-altitude beans develop slow, dense structure and natural sweetness, making them perfect for a crema-rich, syrupy espresso shot.

Ovalmugs espresso roast is fine-tuned for home baristas and semi-pro machines alike. Whether you're pulling ristretto, traditional doubles, or milk drinks like cappuccinos, this coffee extracts clean and complex every time.

What makes it ideal for espresso?

High elevation = dense coffee cells
Volcanic soil = layered minerality
Rain-washed = clean, vibrant flavor
Washed processing = controlled clarity

This is the roast we created for coffee enthusiasts who believe in precision, purity, and a punchy, satisfying finish.
