Max's Blend is our signature roast. Designed to be bold, smokey, and complex, this is by far our most popular coffee and has been a staple of the Bay Area for over 30 years. Max's is on the heavy side of body with very little acidity. The cup starts with an immediate punch of smoke. As the smoke fades, dark chocolate notes appear with some dried fruit sweetness and notes of vanilla cream. The finish is very long, bold, and smokey with notes of peaty scotch.
Roast Color: Dark
Cupping Notes: Smoked Cedar, Vanilla Cream, Dark Chocolate
Story: Circa 1987, Mike’s brother and cousin, Pete and Bob, came to him suggesting that they create a blend named after Bob’s son, Max. They all agreed that the blend needed to be something very special and should taste like no other coffee in the Bay Area. After numerous tastings, experimentations, and mad scientist-like moments, Max’s Blend was born. The final blend contained coffees from some of the most highly regarded coffee growing regions in the world. They found that Max’s Blend truly shined as a dark roast. For over 30 years, Max’s Blend has consistently been our best-selling coffee that we offer.
