Palouse Coffee Club
What the espresso plan sends
The espresso plan is an espresso bean subscription: every 2 or 4 weeks, a 12 oz bag roasted to pull well in an espresso machine, from a different independent Washington State roaster. It costs $16.99 a bag like every other style. First bag free, you pay $7.99 shipping.
Espresso is a style in our plan builder, and roast level is a separate choice. Pair espresso with a light roast for a brighter, fruitier shot, or with dark for a roasty, heavy cup that stands up to milk. Pick mix it up and each roaster picks the roast.
What it does not send
No machine, no pods, no capsules. We send roasted beans in the roaster's own bag, whole bean or ground. If you grind at home for espresso, choose whole bean, since an espresso grinder is the tool that sets your shot.
It also does not send a named roaster on a schedule. Each box is a different Washington roaster, and we do not promise any particular one.

Why Washington for espresso
Espresso has deep roots here. Espresso Vivace started as coffee carts in 1988, and its founder David Schomer, a former Boeing engineer, is credited with developing and popularizing latte art in the United States. Zoka's baristas won the National Barista Championship in 2002 and 2005. Baristas that Dillanos in Sumner roasted for and coached won the US Barista Championship in 2019.
Those are Washington jobs, from the roasting floor to the bar. Buying espresso beans from a roaster here keeps that trade in the state; why local roasters matter has the longer version.
Set up an espresso box
In the plan builder, choose Espresso-friendly as the style, then a roast level. The quiz does it for you if you answer "Espresso machine" to how you drink it. Want a decaf for evening shots? Add a second bag and set its style to decaf.
