Espresso Goccia d'Oro
Roasted Coffee
Espresso Goccia d'Oro is one of Terra's core espresso blends, built for high-volume café programs and retail shelving alike. Micro-roasted in Montréal to a Medium roast, it performs consistently across espresso and filter – full body, moderate intensity, and a clean cup that holds its profile through the conditions of commercial service. The blend ships in 340 g and 907 g retail packaging, plus 1 kg and 3 kg bulk formats for sale by the cup or internal use.
Tasting Notes
Hazelnut and caramel are the defining natural notes, carried by a creamy body and a smooth finish. The cup sits at medium intensity – rich enough to hold through milk-based drinks, approachable enough as a standalone espresso. It keeps its character reliably as extraction conditions shift through service, a practical advantage in a busy café.
Origin
Goccia d'Oro draws on Arabica from South America, selected for flavour stability across harvest years. The blend is maintained to deliver a predictable cup season to season – a meaningful advantage for operators who depend on a stable house espresso.
Roast
This is a Medium roast designed to build body and caramelize the coffee's natural sugars for a smooth, rounded cup – setting it apart from commodity espresso blends.
Brewing
As a general guideline, aim for a 1:16 ratio – roughly 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water for a balanced cup – though brew method matters. For a double espresso, use 16–20 g to yield about 60 ml. For drip and filter service, use 8.5 g of coffee per 236.56 ml (8 oz) of water, about 36 g per litre at batch scale.
