Caffe Vita's Caffe Del Sol is the flagship blend that put this Seattle-born, Brooklyn-roasting coffee company on the map back in 1995. Available here as a 2-pound bag of whole bean coffee, this medium roast is impressively versatile and performs beautifully in any brew method — from espresso to pour-over to French press.

The blend combines a Brazil Natural, Ethiopia Natural, and Guatemala Washed, creating a rich and complex body with tasting notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and dark cherry. It produces a silky, amber crema and a sweet caramel finish that is strong enough to stand up in a latte yet refined enough for a nuanced pour-over. Caffe Vita is a self-owned, independent roaster that works closely with passionate coffee producers from Africa to Indonesia.
