This Dark Roast blend has notes of smokey vanilla, pecans and chocolate. While roasted for use in an espresso machine this blend also works as a brewed coffee. Flavor Profile: * Palate: smokey vanilla, pecans * Finish: chocolate Brewing Recommendation: Espresso, French Press, Pour Over In 1899 construction began on the Great Northern Paper Mill and a small settlement was established along the banks of Millinocket stream to house the workers and their families. By 1900 almost half of the workforce was made up of Italian immigrants whose influence can be felt in Millinocket to this day. So to honor those Italian pioneers we've named our first blend after the neighborhood that bears the name Little Italy.
