— Sherry Watson

Description

Blacksmith is our flagship espresso for a reason.

Over 5,000,000 shots pulled across all seven of our cafes and still the most popular coffee in our subscription lineup. It’s the espresso we rely on every single day.

Currently built from a blend of Colombia, Nicaragua, and Ethiopia, Blacksmith is designed as a true daily driver: rich, balanced, this blend is delicious as a double shot or in milk.

This is espresso built for the home barista.

It’s forgiving. Not every morning is perfect. Blacksmith still pulls a delicious shot even when your dose is a little off, your grind is approximate, or you’re half-awake at 6 a.m. It’s the reliable daily driver you can count on.

It stands up in milk. Chocolate-forward and full-bodied, designed to cut through dairy or alternatives without the flavor disappearing.

It’s fresh. Every bag is roasted to order, rested to degas, and arrives at your door approaching peak freshness, so you get that rich crema and a coffee at its most vibrant.

The name "Blacksmith" represents our ongoing dedication to refinement, inherent to the craft of making great espresso. This is the blend that reminds you that it was, in fact, a great decision to buy that espresso machine for your kitchen.

Available in 12oz, 2lb, and 5lb.

Coffee came, as promised, freshly roasted and full of aroma. The taste is sweet, slightly fruity, and well balanced. Grinding fresh every time allows this blend to shine again and again in each cup brewed. I love Quill’s dedication to their customer base in ensuring high quality beans. I have been ordering this blend for well over a year now and will definitely continue to do so! Thanks, Quills!

Bag came opened and was poured out in the box mixed with another bag of your coffee.
I asked for a refund and never received so 1 star and I’m out a lot of money. I’ve heard great thing la and truly wanted to try your coffees - you need to work on your customer service.

This is one of my favorites for an easy always enjoyable at-home brew

This is one of my favorites for an easy always enjoyable at-home brew. Not acidic, not burnt, excellent even and consistent flavor.

It doesn't make me work to get a good cup out of it either so it's great for a lazy / easy morning but can also be prepared a number of ways. Yes, this espresso blend goes through my coffee maker, aeropress, pour over ... whatever I'm in the mood for and it's always been good.

This coffee roast and blend are truly awesome

This coffee roast and blend are truly awesome. So much flavor and subtle notes. If you love lighter body espresso that still holds up in espresso drinks with milk you will not be disappointed! 10 out of 10.

I received Blacksmith via Trade as a random weekly bean, and immediately created a recurring subscription with Quill's. It is now my staple espresso, and can't recommend it enough.

I have an espresso machine and have searched far and wide for good beans and I haven’t found anything that touches the Blacksmith.

Tied for best espresso!

This is my new favorite espresso. I first got it as a monthly bag from my Trade subscription. This is now tied with Due South Longspur as my FAVORITE espresso to use at home (ex-barista). I can't believe that in all the times I've stopped in Louisville I never knew about Quills!

Quills made a mistake and corrected the problem. Excellent customer service.
