The Coffee
Specially created by David Higgins himself, 1942 Blend is our premium espresso blend.
We blend medium roasted Arabica beans from small lot farms in Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica to create a perfectly balanced cup. The result is a smooth, rich shot with notes of sweet caramel, powerfully fruity with no bitterness. A truly classic espresso coffee.
1942 Blend is a tribute to David’s Grandfather and H. R. Higgins founder, Harold Rees Higgins. Harold began his business in 1942 because of his immense passion for roasting exceptional coffees.
