What Tank Coffee says about this coffee
Tank Coffee Italian Roast is our Italian style espresso blend: two arabicas — Brazil Santos and an Ethiopian Djimma — given weight and a bittersweet finish by Uganda natural robusta. It is roasted for the way Italy drinks coffee: short, sweet and thick, standing up to milk without losing its edge.
Available as a one-off purchase or on a subscription.
Italian style, from a country that grows no coffee
Italy grows not one coffee cherry. The plant only fruits in the tropics, and Italy sits a long way north of the coffee belt — every bean ever roasted in Naples or Trieste arrived by ship. What Italy invented was everything that happened afterwards: the espresso machine, the corner bar, and a roast built to suit a 25-second shot. Italian roasters took coffee darker than the countries that grew it and darker than the countries that drank it as filter — far enough to caramelise the sugars, soften the acidity and leave that familiar bittersweet finish.
That is the tradition this blend follows. It is not an attempt to copy a Milanese roastery; it is the same logic applied to the coffees we buy — a blend and a roast designed so that espresso tastes sweet and full rather than sharp.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
