Caffe Lusso Coffee Roasters

This is our current Ethiopia Guji showing off and we love it!

As green coffee heats up in the roaster, pressure builds inside each bean from water v***r and gases. Then…pop, pop, pop you hear it!

That’s first crack.

It’s similar to popcorn:
• The beans expand
• Their structure breaks open
• Flavor development accelerates

This is the turning point where:
• Bright acidity starts to shine
• Sugars begin caramelizing
• Aromas become recognizable as coffee

Roasters use first crack as a key marker:
-Stop here: lighter roast, more origin character
-Go beyond: deeper body, more developed sweetness

At the roastery, it’s one of the most exciting moments because everything before it is potential… and everything after it is flavor.

Five years ago, we released a truly unforgettable espresso blend—Roma.
For two days only, it returns.

Roma is a refined tribute to the timeless tradition of Italian espresso—crafted with intention, depth, and quiet sophistication.

Often misunderstood, Robusta reveals extraordinary character when sourced with care. In its highest form, it offers indulgent depth, elegant nuttiness, and a layered complexity. For generations, Italian espresso masters have embraced Robusta for the luxurious crema, full-bodied texture, and richness it brings to a blend.

Distinct from Arabica, Robusta stands as its own species—capable of remarkable refinement at its peak. For this limited release, we’ve selected a high-grade Monsooned AA Robusta, prized for its smoothness and depth.

The result is a beautifully balanced espresso—velvety in texture, rich in character, and finished with a deep, resonant elegance that defines Roma
