A honey-smooth medium roast animated by bold undertones, the Java Trading Company Espresso Jet City Whole Bean livens up espresso drinks with its creamy, distinct kick. Perfect for lattes and mochas, Jet City owes its rich flavor profile to the Java Trading Company's exclusive Air Roast System. This advanced system unlocks the full flavor of premium Arabica beans, giving them a consistently rich, caramelized taste.

A Creamy Medium Roast with Delicate Boldness

Are you a lover of classically balanced medium-roast espresso, but crave some added boldness? Espresso made from Jet City beans is sure to hit the spot. Jet City beans are artfully air-roasted to produce a smooth espresso shot or give your next latte that memorable boost of flavor. Thanks to its satisfying balance of richness and creaminess, this versatile roast is great for the coffee aficionado with a home espresso machine or the busy barista serving up fresh java for the masses.

The Premium Taste of Exclusive Air-Roasted Espresso

If you're wondering what makes the flavor of Java Trading Company espresso so distinct, you have the company's patented Air Roast System to thank. This convection roast-master gently roasts the beans on a bed of hot air, ensuring a pure, even roast throughout each bean. The timing and temperature of each roast is moderated, so each batch of beans arrives at its peak of flavor. Later, a precise cooling process kicks in, which carefully releases water for optimum caramelization. The result is a premium quality espresso roast in which each bean's full, natural flavor is released, retaining the subtle taste nuances that distinguish it. This gourmet roasting practice means you can count on each shot you pull of Java Trading Company espresso to consistently deliver a rich taste experience. Only moderate temperatures (450 - 550 F) required.

This review is from: Java Trading Company Espresso Jet City Whole Bean, 5-Pound Bag (Grocery)

I got the jet city whole bean which translated means the beans have been roasted to Seattle City's standard medium roast, but there is nothing standard about the beans. The roast color is even on all the beans I have had the pleasure to grind so far. The beans look shiny and dark. I have brewed about 2 1/2lbs so far with fantastic results. Each cup had a fruity coffee taste with that dark undertow that you so expect from a darker roast and not once did I denote a hint of bitterness that you sometimes get from badly roasted dark coffee. As long as they keep selling it, I'll be back for more! Yum yum!

Java Trading Company Espresso Jet City Whole Bean, 5-Pound BagI found this product to be an excellent whole bean coffee. Because of the low price I really didn't think that it would be all that great, but when I tried it, it put the local coffee that I have been purchasing to shame. In fact I will be ordering 2 more bags shortly. Thank you for some great coffee at a down to earth price.

My husband loves these beans for espresso in his lattes!

We have a super-automatic espresso machine that grinds and brews the espresso shots, and my husband uses the machine to make lattes.... he'll drink anywhere from 1 to 4 of them a day. He used to get his coffee beans from a local roaster, but we moved, and it was going to be over $15/lb with shipping to continue buying from our old roaster. He hadn't found anything comparable in the grocery store, and he doesn't like Starbucks' beans. He likes his whole beans dark and oily, but no over-roasted burnt taste is allowed!

For a little over $5.50/lb for the Java Trading Co's Jet City beans, I took a chance and purchased these hoping he'd like them, and he was upset I'd bought a 5 pound bag of something he didn't know if he liked. When they arrived, I was relieved to see the Jet City beans were indeed dark and oily, and my husband loved the smell of them. The next morning, he made a couple lattes with them, and he told me these beans were awesome. Yes! I am so happy he loves them.

We store them in airtight containers (OXO Good Grips POP containers) in the freezer to keep them fresh.

*Update*: We're now on our 2nd bag of these beans, and boy, when I opened the bag to separate the beans into the OXO containers, the fresh roasted smell transported me back in time by a decade, when I used to work as a barista in a Portland, OR coffee shop. I looked at the label on this 2nd bag, and it came from their Renton, WA roasting facility which is in my state. (Amazon shipped it from their shipping facility in Federal Way, WA, and it arrived at my house within 2 days.) This 2nd bag is just as good as the first, so I'm quite pleased with the quality control from Java Trading Co.
