Espresso Massimo

Espresso Massimo is Terra's boldest espresso blend – 90% Robusta and 10% Arabica – built for cafés that want maximum body and a high-caffeine kick. The high Robusta content delivers a dense, full body and a thick, lasting crema that stands up in milk-based drinks, and it works in both espresso and filter service. The blend ships in 340 g and 907 g retail packaging, plus 1 kg and 3 kg bulk formats for higher-volume programs. Freshly roasted in Montréal, it gives an espresso bar an intense, traditional base that performs consistently under high-volume service.

Tasting Notes

The cup is strong, dense, and full-bodied, with a thick, lasting crema from the high Robusta content. Built for an intense, traditional espresso, its body carries well through milk for cappuccinos and lattes.

Origin

Espresso Massimo blends Robusta and Arabica from Asia and South America. The blend is formulated for consistency rather than single-origin specificity – each delivery gives your bar the same bold, repeatable cup.

Roast

This is a Medium roast, developed to build body and caramelize the coffee's natural sugars for a rounded character beneath the intensity. It suits espresso while holding its body through milk.

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.
