What to Expect
This is Brazilian coffee doing what it does best: delivering chocolate, nuts, and biscuity sweetness without fuss. Clifton Coffee Roasters have taken beans from Fazenda Pinhal and roasted them for espresso, giving you a full-bodied, low-acid cup that's built for reliability rather than fireworks.
The Cup
Expect a heavy, syrupy body with the kind of mouthfeel that coats rather than dances. The pulped natural process adds a layer of brown sugar sweetness and rounds out what's already a gentle acidity. This is clean rather than funky, straightforward rather than complex. You'll get dark chocolate, peanut butter, and a malty biscuit character that sits comfortably in milk but holds its own black if you prefer a richer, less bright espresso.
Who This Is For
If you want an espresso that pulls consistently, tastes familiar, and doesn't demand precision brewing, this will serve you well. It's for drinkers who value chocolate and body over fruit and acidity.
If you're chasing floral notes, bright citrus, or anything tea-like, this isn't the coffee for you.
Best for: Home baristas and milk drink lovers who want a dependable, chocolatey espresso.
How to Brew This Coffee
This is roasted for espresso, and that's where it'll shine: the heavier body and developed sweetness are built for the pressure and intensity of an espresso machine. If you don't have one, an Aeropress will give you a similar richness and control without the kit, while a Moka pot leans into the chocolate and delivers a strong, full-bodied brew that works beautifully with milk.

Our Suspension Espresso originates from Fazenda Pinhal and is grown by Pedro, João, and Milau Gabarra. We are delighted to continue our relationship with them for another season by bringing you their outstanding coffee.
Their commitment to local wildlife is evident through The Wings Project, an incredible initiative that contributes to the rehabilitation of over 750 birds, aiming to swiftly and safely release them back into their natural habitat. This project, coupled with Pinhal's excellent operational practices, has earned them the distinction of being recognised as Brazil's Most Sustainable Coffee Farm in 2019. During the same year, they also installed solar panels that provide 100% of their energy. More than 40% of their 914-hectare farm is dedicated to Eucalyptus trees, rivers, and fruit plants, fostering a thriving ecosystem and biodiversity throughout the farm and surrounding areas.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label. These are beans with the sweetness, depth and structure to pull a rich, balanced shot under pressure, from chocolatey blends to fruit-forward single origins. Every coffee here earned its place by how it actually performs in the basket. New to pulling shots? Read our espresso brewing basics.
-
Aeropress
A curated range of coffees suited to the Aeropress, selected on their own merits through our attribute analysis. We look for the clarity and balance this fast, pressure-assisted method rewards, so whether you brew short and concentrated or long and clean, each bean here is chosen to give you a bright, well-defined cup. Want to get the most from yours? See our Aeropress brewing guide.
-
Moka
Coffees curated for the moka pot's concentrated, stovetop intensity, each assessed for how it stands up to high-heat brewing. We look for robust body and low-acidity sweetness that carry through this method, delivering the strong, espresso-adjacent cup the moka pot is known for. First time brewing? Read how to use a moka pot.
