    Nantucket Coffee Roasters' special espresso blend for ROASTD General Store in Nantucket was surprisingly good! The highlight was complexity and bright acidity. Its highlights are blackberry and pecan flavors, which come together mid-palate with subtle hint of bergamot florality. This unique blend drinks like a medium espresso with more acidity. The medium crema is smooth and persistent, enhancing the overall texture and enjoyment of the espresso.

    While the chocolate notes could benefit from a touch more depth, this minor critique does little to detract from the overall quality of the blend. Love that this espresso is USDA organic.

    I think this organic blend is only available at ROASTD, which makes it a go-to place for this little island!

    Cupping Method:Double espresso at ROASTD General Store in Nantucket MA. I also took the picture of the bag at the store.

    I had a Doppio of this today and I thought it was great. Similar structurally to another NCR espresso I had last week. It's balanced and has really bright acidity in the blackberry range. This felt a bit more floral with a bit more forward palate chocolate. A sticky medium crema and nice mouthfeel.

    A very nicely balanced roast that excelled as nitro cold brew. Mostly chocolate with a touch of blackberry acidity, the creaminess of the nitro created a nice balance.

    All in all a good showing for NCR House roasts we tracked down across the island.

    They switched espresso midweek at our favorite Nantucket coffee shop. I liked the one before a bit more.

    Earthy, chocolate espresso with some interesting character and complexity. Low-ish crema. Dark chocolate is nice, definitely quite earthy (maybe Sumatra driven?). Nice mouthfeel. Walnut, pecan, maybe persimmon and blackberry.

    Mellow, easy to drink roast that is nicely balanced. I would say, probably drink medium dark with a touch of smokiness. Otherwise, it has chocolate notes, and a little bit of citrus. It makes solid iced coffee. Doesn't really have a stand out trait or huge depth of flavor but it's rock solid.

    Cupping Method:This is the house roast for Island Coffee by the Steamship Authority in Nantucket, MA.

Editor's Overview

After visiting Nantucket for 25 years and being a coffee enthusiast for much of that time, my recent return marked my first visit since I began reviewing coffee. While I didn't previously consider Nantucket Coffee Roasters as particularly remarkable, this trip has surprised me with their exceptional blend work—showcasing high quality, balanced flavor profiles, complexity, and impressive depth of flavors that have elevated my experience.
