“Stronghold is what I would describe as a classic espresso coffee. Bold and rich, with a real syrupy body that tastes great black or with milk. It’s roasted slightly darker too, delivering a more traditional flavour. A great starting point for brewing speciality coffee at home."

    Exceptional coffee

    I have to say that this is my favourite coffee 'hands down' - and I've tried a lot searching for that perfect blend of smoothness, sweetness and that enticing aroma... Stronghold tastes exactly like it smells!

    Perfect daily espresso beans

    My daily espresso bean. Stronghold has a classic coffee taste, on the darker side for speciality but before second crack. Smooth, sweet, chocolatey blend. I typically prefer washed process but this natural is great. Doesn’t freak out guests like some speciality.
