Valor Reserve — Italian Roast

Bold, intense, and classically dark — our Italian Roast is a tribute to the espresso tradition that built a coffee culture. Freshly roasted to a deep, rich finish by our roasting partner, this blend delivers the kind of powerful, full-bodied cup that stands up to milk, sugar, or anything else you throw at it. This is coffee with conviction.

• Drip Coffee Maker: Medium-coarse grind for a bold, rich cup that holds up beautifully to cream and sugar.
• French Press: Coarse grind, 4-minute steep for maximum body and smoky depth.
