Intelligentsia Black Cat Analog Espresso: Medium Roast, 100% Arabica

Meet Black Cat Analog, a versatile espresso blend designed for ease and reliability across machines. This medium-roast, 100% Arabica coffee is full-bodied and well-rounded, delivering a sweet, chocolatey presence that shines on milk-based drinks and straight shots alike.

Direct Trade is a cornerstone of the story behind these beans. By reducing layers in the supply chain, Intelligentsia partners directly with growers to emphasize quality, transparency, and sustainable relationships, helping you enjoy a cup with a clear provenance.

Flavor, Pairing, and Use Cases

In use, the profile tends to present a balanced sweetness with chocolate notes that complement milk or crema, making it a dependable choice for everyone from home brewers to cafe counters.

  • Full-bodied, well-rounded, and naturally sweet

  • Seasonal components rotate for new arrivals
  • Freshness is prioritized to optimize aroma and flavor

Brewing Guidelines

For best results, start with 6 oz of water per 9.5 g of coffee (roughly 2 tablespoons). For our blends, try either a pour-over or an automatic drip, with grind size in the 5–6 range. Adjust to taste for a clear, sweet extraction.

  • 6 oz water per 9.5 g coffee (about 2 tbsp)
