Coffee Beans by Quaffee Quaffee’s Old School Blend is their interpretation of the classic dark or epresso roast. The legacy of roasting, up until the mid 70s, used a colour-based roasting chart; the colour the coffee was once roasted, determined if it was light, medium, dark or very dark. This type of roast is famously called Italian, or Espresso Roast. Quaffee has worked with customers that prefer the older school style coffee and created this blend. They love it. As do we.
