Espresso Cuatro
Zoka Coffee's Espresso Cuatro is a masterclass in hemispheric harmony. This multi-origin blend marries the bright, tangy sweetness of Central American beans with the buttery, chocolate-forward depth of South American coffees. The result is an espresso that balances acidity and body in a way that feels complete—like the blend was always meant to exist this way.
Roasted in Seattle by one of the Northwest's most respected names, Cuatro is built for the espresso machine but versatile enough to shine in milk drinks, where its structure holds up beautifully against steamed dairy or alternatives.
Tasting Notes
Expect layers of caramel sweetness, bright citrus tang, and a creamy, almost buttery mouthfeel that lingers. The acidity is lively but never sharp—think ripe orange and brown sugar. The finish is smooth and slightly chocolatey, with just enough complexity to keep you coming back for another cup. This is espresso that tastes good straight and even better in a cortado or cappuccino.
Brew Methods
Cuatro is designed for espresso, where it performs beautifully as a straight shot or the foundation of milk-based drinks. It pulls with a rich crema and balanced extraction window, making it forgiving for home baristas still dialing in. That said, it also works well as a moka pot coffee or in an AeroPress if you're after a concentrated, espresso-adjacent brew.
About the Roaster
Zoka Coffee has been roasting in Seattle since 1996, with a reputation for precision, consistency, and a deep respect for origin. Their blends are thoughtfully composed, and Cuatro is no exception—a reliable everyday espresso that doesn't sacrifice character for balance.
