From the roaster

Klatch Coffee is a family-founded, woman-owned company based in Southern California that has been roasting and distributing coffee for over three decades.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A documented Ethiopian natural built specifically as espresso and tied to Route 66’s 2026 centennial, with the exact origin country, process, roast and extraction recipe now disclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Origin corrected

The current exact page explicitly identifies Ethiopia.

02
Process connected

Linked the existing Natural process and retained Klatch’s medium roast.

03
Traceability boundary

Left farm-level and technical production fields blank because the roaster does not publish them.

What was added?

Connected Ethiopia and Natural, added the medium roast, current $22.95/310 g format, flavor notes, extraction recipe and release history.

What wasn't added?

No Ethiopian region, farm, producer, variety, altitude, harvest, fermentation or drying details were inferred.

Why it matters

The profile is now a correctly classified Ethiopian natural rather than a generic espresso with missing origin and process.

What you might taste

Cherry, raspberry and chocolate in a rich, syrupy espresso.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
