Roasted in Chania · ships next working day
Sidewalk is named after the street, the place everyday coffee happens. It’s the easiest step from commercial coffee into specialty: balanced and sweet, with no sharp spikes. A comforting, easygoing cup that’s also very easy to extract.

It’s built from the same coffees as our Lighthouse espresso, a washed Colombia and a washed El Salvador, without the Ethiopia and in different ratios. Sidewalk is for anyone who wants a go-to espresso while making that move into specialty.
It’s a real treat with milk. If you love cappuccinos, lattes or iced lattes, start here.

Make it yours. Your palate is the best guide. If it tastes good, you’re there. If not, adjust:
- Ratio shapes body. A shorter ratio gives a bigger body. A longer ratio gives a lighter body.
- Time shapes the taste. At the same ratio, a shorter shot tends to be lighter with more pronounced acidity. A longer shot leans toward bitterness.
- Temperature fine-tunes it.
With milk: we use full-fat milk and steam to about 55°C. Rest your palm on the jug and stop just before it’s too hot to touch. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to drink.
Water: taste three glasses of water at room temperature (about 20°C). The one you’d choose to drink is a good sign of what to brew with. Use filtered tap water or a bottled water you like.
