The “Cream Metropolis” was just lately named one of the best metropolis for a cup of espresso within the U.S. by actual property web site Intelligent. “Milwaukee is one of the best at balancing inexpensive brews with a rising espresso scene.” We’ve got explored the various outlets and roasts of Milwaukee that contribute to this honor, however had but to attempt a neighborhood roaster that bears the very identify of the town.
Established in 2018, Milwaukee Espresso Co is a small batch native roaster producing some coffees that we expect are value testing. Our in-home weekend journey took us from southern Mexico to the espresso fields of Kenya in only a few hours.
Neat, basic packaging makes it straightforward to know what you’re getting upfront. We’re in love with the look of the 2021 rebranding of this roaster! We have been excited to obtain a sneak peek of the upcoming Kenya AA Wango Property launch!
We tried the Kenya as a pour over and it was sturdy, with a touch of citrus up entrance and a spicy clove end. It’s nice as a pourover however has the makings of an ideal espresso as nicely. We expect you’ll discover this one very versatile!
Subsequent up was the Mexican H/G Chiapas. That is described as having notes of Brown Sugar, Chocolate, and Orange. Profile description: “Candy and balanced and completely delectable. Have one other cup, we don’t choose.”
Espresso Shot: This small however mighty shot packs a really chocolatey punch!
Iced Caramel Latte – Slightly sweetness goes a great distance with this one, due to the chocolate and brown sugar notes. The Mexico single-origin blends very easily right into a latte.
Mexican Spice Latte – It appeared like a no brainer to make a Mexican Spice Latte out of this espresso. We used Hollander Dutch Chocolate cafe sauce and a splash of cinnamon for this drink. To our delight, this resulted in a cafe-quality drink that simply might be on a menu someplace.
Boston Cream Pie Affogato – A combo of Kopp’s Boston Cream Pie custard and a shot of Milwaukee Espresso Co.’s Mexican H/G Chiapas espresso, this was type of immediately’s wildcard drink. Kopp’s is thought for his or her artistic flavors and it blended with this espresso extremely authentically to make an extremely scrumptious (and quickly-devoured) deal with!
Brunch Mix – With notes of caramel, citrus and nuts, they describe this profile as “Not too candy, not too spicy, however a pleasant, straightforward sip. Good for brunch or for all these occasions you would like you have been at brunch.”
Pourover – That is most likely what this espresso does greatest. Dwelling as much as its identify, it’s nothing however a great, simple cup o’ Joe.
