Radical Espresso is a powerful blend created by Gringo Nordic – a small, curious coffee roastery in the heart of Gothenburg. With an uncompromising commitment to quality, Gringo works closely with its producers to ensure both great taste and good conditions.

This espresso consists of organic specialty coffees from three continents. The base comes from Brazil and Indonesia, where rich and robust notes dominate. To this, we have added beans from Ethiopia – from Worka Coop and Guji Suke Quto – which give the espresso its subtle fruitiness and complexity.

We roast Radical using our slow roast method, in small batches and with airflow technology – an energy-efficient process that highlights the coffee’s bittersweet, spicy, and full-bodied character. The result is an espresso with presence, created with respect for both the flavor and the people behind the beans.

Gringo Nordic purchases 100% specialty coffee from individual farms, cooperatives, and plantations – often organically certified, always with care. Our goal is simple: Good Honest Coffee.

To highlight the bold and full-bodied character of Radical Espresso, we have chosen a dark roast that harmoniously balances the flavors of the different origins. The beans are gently roasted in small batches using slow roast technique, giving us full control over the development of the flavor profile. The longer roasting time reduces acidity and instead emphasizes the coffee's bittersweet notes, rich body, and spicy finish.

The blend's base comes from Sumatra Gayo, where the coffee traditionally undergoes the unique wet hulled process (Giling Basah) – a method that contributes to the full-bodied, earthy, and spicy character. The Brazilian beans from Nossa Senhora de Fatima are often naturally dried, providing a sweet and rounded flavor profile. From Ethiopia, where the coffee is often handpicked and dried on raised beds, we have a washed process from Worka Coop and a semi-washed from Guji Suke Quto – these contribute elegant hints of fruit and flower.

Each batch is carefully roasted in our energy-efficient roasting machine with airflow technology – a sustainable choice that also provides maximum flavor development. This is how we create an espresso with depth, character, and respect for the craft.
