The 1950s marked espresso's rise to prominence, and now, California's Blue Bottle Coffee is inviting consumers on a nostalgic journey back to this era with First Espresso, helping them reignite their passion for espresso and rediscover its timeless joys. This limited-edition espresso blend and set pays homage to espresso culture of the 50s, which laid the foundation for coffee's important role around the world today.
During the 50s, modern espresso machines developed by Giovanni Achille Gaggia were widely adopted and these machines produced espresso with a rich crema. This innovation vastly improved the overall experience of espresso, made the drink more appealing to the general public and fueled coffeehouse culture.
Blue Bottle Coffee's First Espresso pays special attention to crema, all the while offering a modern twist by blending coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya.
