Our Italian Roast Espresso is our darkest roasted coffee available and perhaps the darkest roast in Pittsburgh. We roast the beans farther than most roasters are willing to go to give you a spicy, smokey, deep note to the cup. Do not let the name fool you, you can use Espresso Italian roast in any brewing method you prefer. And conversely, you can use any coffee in an espresso machine! An espresso roast is normally formulated to work well in milk-based drinks such as a cappuccino, or flat white. That does not mean you cannot make a French press of this smokey dark chocolate noted coffee! This coffee was formulated in the style of second-wave Italian coffee that holds up to milk and heavy flavoring. Not for the faint of heart. For something still dark but slightly lighter, try the French or Vienna Roast.

Best coffees anywhere
Prestogeorge had always been my favorite and only place for coffee and tea products while living in Pittsburgh. Since moving to eastern PA I still continue to order online and have my favorites shipped directly to my home. Even with shipping charges, the value is great.

Distinct flavor, rich, robust with no bitterness. Excellent dark roast. The only one I drink.

The only espresso for me
This roast is so wonderful and quite literally the only espresso I will drink. I always make sure to have this in our home.

ITALIAN ROAST ESPRESSO COFFE
We've been buying these beans for 30 years, six of them in person at the store every Saturday and by shipping for the last 24 years. We track the shipping time as we have moved around during this time to make sure we never run out. We miss John Prestogeorge's smile and greetings as I'm sure other customers do.
