About This Coffee
Footprints is a two-origin espresso blend that balances structure and sweetness. Half the cup comes from Lia Lia in Costa Rica, a white-honey-processed Catuai that brings clean caramel sweetness and a polished, syrupy body. The other half is natural-processed Mundo Novo from Dois Irmãos in Brazil, which layers in chocolate depth, nutty nougat and a rounded, low-acid finish.
The pairing is deliberate: white-honey Costa Rica keeps the shot bright and elegant, while natural Brazil anchors it with body and comfort. The result is a smooth, rich espresso that is easy to dial in and just as happy in a flat white as it is straight from the basket.

If the shot runs too fast or tastes thin, grind finer; if it chokes or turns bitter, grind a touch coarser. Adjust one step at a time and let the sweetness guide you.
How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?
At a 20g dose, a 250g bag pulls roughly 12 double shots (about RM8 per shot), and a 1.5kg bag pulls around 75 (about RM5 per shot) — the better value for daily espresso drinkers and small cafés. Pull lighter 18g shots and you will stretch each bag a little further.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Footprints for espresso or filter?
It is built for espresso. The blend, roast level and recipe are dialled for the machine, pulling smooth and rich with chocolate, nougat and caramel. You can brew it as filter, but it is at its best as a shot or in milk.
What does it taste like?
Chocolate, nougat and caramel, with a full body, gentle acidity and a long toffee-sweet finish. It is a comforting, crowd-pleasing flavour rather than a bright, fruity one.
Does it work in milk?
Yes. The chocolate-caramel sweetness and rounded body cut cleanly through milk, making it an excellent flat white, latte or cappuccino, while still holding up as a straight espresso.
How fresh is it?
We roast to order and ship within 24 hours. The beans are at their peak two to three weeks after the roast date, so they are ready when they reach you and stay great for weeks.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
