About this Espresso
This is an espresso that is unforgettably sweet, clean and balanced. Linea’s Organic Reserve blend is an homage to classic Northern Italian espresso. It’s magnificent when blended with steamed milk as a cappuccino or macchiato. Lovely prepared as French Press, Chemex, syphon, AeroPress or pour-over.

I was so happy I was recommended this coffee. It is a MUST – better than any coffee shop. Super happy with it and will be re-ordering.

By far the smoothest and best tasting blend for espresso drinks, not cheap but worth the splurge occasionally.

Since we discovered Linea when our son moved to Potrero Hill is SF 5 years ago, Linea Reserve Espresso beans are all we use when making espresso. We have it shipped to our home in Illinois. It grinds wonderfully. Has a smooth taste – not bitter. The flavor holds up in a cappuccino or a latte. Looking forward to trying the A4 Espresso next for a comparison.

Linea has been my go-to espresso brand for 8+ years now, I am upset any time I have to get beans from a different brand. The light, sweet, and smooth flavor is great for my straight espresso, and my friends say it mixes well with various milks as well.

We’ve been regulars at Linea for 5 years, and the espresso is always good. The coffee shop is so good that we started having their espresso delivered to us. This is the only espresso we buy now. We like it so much that we measure other coffee shops off of how they compare to Linea.

Flavor is very unique, you can get a sense from it since you grind the beans and smell it. It is pricey but it is worth it!

Probably the best espresso I’ve had in a long time. Not cheap but well worth the cost. Try a bag and like many others, you will look forward to a cup every morning!!

I cannot get enough of Linea’s heavenly, other earthly espresso! Its richness and multi layered notes of cocoa toffee vanilla and nuttiness makes me jump out of bed and head for my Linea (Micra) morning.Absolutely the best way to start my day! Andrew is just a pure magician with his impeccable choice of beans and roasting voodoo! I’d give it 7 stars if I could-just the best!!

This is no longer a local roaster for me, but I still order and have beans shipped. Expensive, but haven’t found anything close in terms of quality and consistency.
