Featured Coffee - Brown Coffee Co. Espresso One: Cottonwood
The Brown Coffee Co. sent a bag of their first ever espresso blend they call Espresso One: Cottonwood, which is English for Alamo.
Fitting for a roasting outfit from San Antonio.
The label on the bag lists a flavor description of a coffee that is “Creamy and complex with a chocolaty base and a plush black currant character.”
For the most part, this description is quite accurate. It’s a three-bean blend of very simple proportions. 25% 25% 50%. Simple. Concise. It’s as close to letting the coffee speak for itself as you can get in a blend intended to be balanced enough for WBC standards to be met(meaning, a very specific defined proportion and balance of specific flavor characteristics with none overpowering of the others).
The chocolate is not so pronounced as in some other blends out there, but there is a distinct berry flavor.. but not a false berry flavor. The flavor is that of fresh produce. This is not something often achieved in espresso blending from my experience. Not overly complex, a medium-heavy body, and one of the smoothest mouthfeels I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
If you’re looking for a new espresso to try, and you’d like to support a TX roaster, be sure you give this one a try. Guaranteed to please.

I got sent a bag of this as well, and after playing with it for almost a week now I would highly recommend it to anyone. One of the most wonderful espresso profiles to hit my tounge.
I’m glad you liked it. It’s my current favorite.
My bags label looked totally cooler than yours Jason, HARRR!!!!
He upgraded his labels sometime after this review took place.
I have a new one now.
