The Spirit of the English Coffeehouse

In 17th-century England, the first coffeehouses were known as Penny Universities. For the mere price of a cup of coffee, anyone could enter to discuss philosophy, politics, or the latest news. Our Penny University blend honors this heritage of intellectual exchange, providing a complete and rounded flavor that is designed to stimulate the mind and satisfy the palate.

Strong, Full-Bodied, and Smooth as Silk

This masterfully crafted blend combines a number of regionals to create a truly balanced profile. By bringing out the best qualities in each of the beans, we have developed a coffee that is strong and full-bodied, offering a substantial mouthfeel without any of the bitterness often associated with bold roasts. The result is a cup that is as smooth as silk from the first sip to the final drop.

• Multi-Regional Complexity: A curated selection of beans that provides layers of cocoa, toasted nut, and subtle fruit notes.
• Rounded Flavor Profile: Meticulously balanced to ensure no single note overpowers the harmony of the cup.
• Silk-Smooth Texture: A signature roast level that emphasizes a velvety mouthfeel and a clean finish.
• 100% Arabica: Sourced for specialty-grade quality and consistently fresh-roasted aromatics.

Artisanal Roasting for High Conversation

At Berardi’s, we roast our Penny University blend to a level that maximizes its "complete" character. By monitoring the roast density of our various regional beans, we ensure that the strength of the blend never sacrifices its refined, silky texture.
