The identify ‘Lombardo’s Double Kick’ has been in my head since 2015 — however I used to be by no means going to place my identify on one thing that didn’t hit arduous sufficient. After two years of working carefully with Coterie Espresso Co., Double Kick lastly exists and it rips. Via precision roasting, we developed a daring and smooth-flavored mix, by no means bitter — power-packed with pure thrash gasoline. The tin design relies on one in all my favourite kits, and the font? A direct nod to a brand I slashed out years in the past. This isn’t simply espresso — it’s a collector’s piece.”
