A smooth medium-dark blend built for everyday espresso
Es Chocolat is a four-origin specialty blend roasted to a medium-dark profile for easy, comforting drinking. Costa Rican white honey leads, backed by washed Guatemala and Colombia and a touch of natural Brazil. Expect rich chocolate, macadamia and a round, praline-sweet finish — ideal for milk drinks and forgiving filter.

About This Coffee
Es Chocolat is a signature house blend designed to bridge two worlds: the comforting, full-bodied character people loved in classic dark-roasted coffee, and the clarity and sweetness of modern specialty beans. By pulling the roast back to medium-dark rather than pushing it darker, it keeps an approachable, chocolate-forward flavour without the burnt, bitter edge.
The blend layers four carefully selected origins. A Costa Rican white honey lot brings sweetness and body as the backbone; washed Guatemala and Colombia add structure and balance; and a small portion of natural Brazil rounds everything out with nutty, praline-like depth. The result is a cup that welcomes newcomers and rewards seasoned drinkers alike — simple to enjoy, satisfying every day.
Every bag is 100% specialty arabica and roasted fresh to order in Kuala Lumpur.
How to Brew Es Chocolat
Es Chocolat shines as espresso and works beautifully in milk. Here are our starting recipes for both espresso and filter.
| Espresso | |

If your espresso tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer; if it runs bitter or sluggish, grind coarser and re-dial from there.
How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?
As an espresso (about 18g per shot), a 200g bag makes around 11 shots (about RM8.18 per cup), a 500g bag around 28 shots (about RM6.43 per cup), and a 1kg bag around 56 shots (about RM5.36 per cup). You'll get more cups brewing it as filter at a lighter dose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Es Chocolat better as espresso or filter?
Espresso. It's built for it — the medium-dark roast gives a rich, chocolatey shot that holds up brilliantly in milk. Filter works too at a 1:12 ratio for a fuller, comforting cup, but milk-based espresso is where it's happiest.
What does it taste like?
Smooth and chocolate-forward, with macadamia nuttiness and a praline-sweet, creamy finish. Acidity is low and the body is round, so it's easy to drink and great for anyone easing into specialty coffee.
How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. The beans reach their peak flavour 2–3 weeks after roasting, so there's no rush to use them straight away.
Is it a single origin?
No, it's a blend of four origins — Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia and Brazil — combined for a balanced, chocolate-led cup that's more consistent and comforting than any single component on its own.
Do you offer free shipping?
