Assembly House Espresso
Espresso is the ultimate expression of coffee's utility, versatility, and tactility. It needs to propose an enjoyable experience drunk black and paired with milk. Therefore, espresso must have prominent sweetness, low acidity, and viscous texture.
To achieve these qualities with the Assembly House Espresso, we source coffees that naturally exhibit these characteristics. And then we roast them in ways that ensure they are fully optimised for this brew method.
Over multi-year partnerships, we work with a small group of producers to rotate the coffee seasonally, so that:
- We celebrate the diversity in flavour of coffee, giving you the opportunity to experience multiple coffees
- We’re constantly refining the formula for the perfect espresso with data from the previous year’s harvest
- We return value to origin consistently, fairly and through innovative mechanisms.
While the coffee changes, the flavour profile remains similar through each iteration. It always has the qualities we all love in a classic espresso, with a touch more acidity to please the palate.
Plum + Brown Sugar + Syrupy
Assembly Espresso Blend
The Assembly Espresso Blend has been created in collaboration with some of the most esteemed specialty coffee shops in the UK. The coffees that make up the Blend are regularly refined according to crop seasonality and our sourcing programme, currently it is comprised of:
- Brazil - 60%
- Colombia - 30%
- Congo - 10%
The Blend is designed to be versatile, equally suited to black and milk-based drinks and fine-tuned for the evolving palate of the UK coffee drinker. It's sweet, has a medium-to-full body, and a viscous mouthfeel. We recommend this coffee for anyone who enjoys a classic espresso.
In the cup, the Blend is balanced, viscous and rich. It’s a consistent espresso constantly refined via our tight-knit producer partnerships and the product development they enable.

Colombia — Linarco Rodriguez
Colombia — Linarco Rodriguez
Producer — Linarco Rodriguez
Farm — El Origen
Region — Palestina, Huila
Variety — Castillo
Process — Washed
Terroir — 1710 masl
Linarco is the youngest farmer of the Ospinas - a family which has been farming in Huila for three generations - and has built himself a reputation for excellent coffees. A coffee of his secured second place in the 2019 Colombian Cup of Excellence competition and he has placed several more times at the event in recent years.
We've enjoyed several exceptional coffees from Linarco and this latest is particularly indulgent in the cup. Full of rich chocolate notes and red apple sweetness, it offers a delicious drop when brewed as filter or as espresso.

- Sierra Productora de Cafe (SIPRO) is an association of eight smallholder producers in Amatenango de la Frontera, a small Chiapian community on the south eastern edge of the country. Stand in the town centre and a strong throw will send a stone across the border into Guatemala's renowned coffee-growing Huehuetenango region.
This proximity means that coffee from the two regions share similar traits. This lot has prominent sweetness, lots of chocolate notes, a syrupy texture and low acidity. The result is an easy-drinking, crowd-pleasing cup.This is the third successive year we've shared this coffee with you. Once again it's a real standout - enjoy.

Colombia — Henry Bonilla Pink Bourbon
Producer — Henry Bonilla
Farm — El Errayan
Origin — Colombia
Region — Huila
Variety — Pink Bourbon
Terroir — 1700 masl, temperate tropical climate
Process — Washed (Altered Fermentation)
This is yet another coffee produced in Colombia that offers an extraordinary cup. You’ll discover the joy of this coffee way before you’ve taken your first sip. In brewing, heady floral aromas will fill the air and hint at the flavour experience you’re about to enjoy.
The nutrient-diverse soil of Huila, natural sweetness of the Pink Bourbon variety and a pioneering fermentation method has created a coffee that will linger long in the memory.
During post-harvest processing, controlled fermentation was enhanced with the addition of yeasts created by the intentional fermentation of red fruits. Similar in practice to techniques now being seen across South America’s coffee-growing regions, this inoculation was designed to maximise the sensory potential of an already exceptional lot.
The results are astonishing. In the roastery we’ve tasted numerous delicate citrus flavours, sometimes tropical notes, always a notably silky texture and not forgetting the aromas.
This is one of the most remarkable coffees we’ve enjoyed in recent years. Enjoy.

Overripe Fermentation Series

Unprecedented climatic conditions contributed to 75% of Mio's 2024 crop being classified as not ripe, of which 90% was overripe. Data-driven fermentation protocols - designed by Professor Lucas Louzada and his team - were applied to three lots from this harvest to rescue their cup score and it is these coffees that form this series.

Finca Deborah Geisha
- Producer — Jamison Savage at Finca Deborah
Region — Panama
Variety — Geisha
Process — Carbonic Maceration, Washed
Terroir — 1900 masl, cool tropical climate
Located high up in the mountains of northern Panama, the prestige of the Volcan region within coffee is often compared to that of Bordeaux within wine. And Finca Deborah has significant influence on this reputation – coffees from the farm dominate barista competitions and are often the most sought-after lots on the planet.
The reason for this? The farm’s soil and climate play the key roles. Temperatures at Deborah can drop to as low as 10°c overnight – elongating the maturation process of the cherries. Annual rainfall is notably high at an average of 2200mm – driving the development of flavour-carrying sugars. And under a rich, diverse canopy blanketed by rainforest cloud cover, native flora and fauna thrive.
This terroir, complemented by refined post-harvest processing techniques, enables Finca Deborah to produce a consistent stream of show-stopping coffees, positioning it as one of the world’s most prestigious coffee farms.
