Kick Start your day with a great brew!
Kick Start is a blend of smooth Latin American coffees with a dash of exotic organic East African (Ethiopian, Kenyan) beans mixed in to perk things up. Each type of coffee is roasted to the most delicious level for that specific bean and then is mixed together to deliver a classic coffee taste.
Smooth and rich, a balanced coffee with hints of toasted nuts, caramel, cocoa, and berries.
Note: Coffee ships the following Tuesday.
Recommended For:
A classic brewed cup of coffee when made in an automatic coffeemaker, pourover, Aeropress or Chemex
Third Wave style espresso (medium roast and more subtle flavour than traditional espresso)
Drink it black or with a touch of milk / cream
How did Kick Start get its name?
Kick Start is one of the original Sparkplug coffee blends.
Right from the start, I loved this blend, and decided it had to be one of our signature, always available, coffees.
You may think that the name Kick Start refers to how coffee kick starts our brains and gets us going.
But it’s actually a nod to my love for vintage Vespas and cool motorcycles.
Motorcycles? Yup!
Kicking it Old school…
You may not know that to get my sweet vintage Vespa rolling requires a literal “kick start”.
In fact, before fancy schmancy electronic starters, all motorcycles were kick started.
Instead of pressing a button, I use my foot to kick or push down on the starter lever to start the Vespa.
Vrrroom! And we’re off on another adventure!
Like my Vespa, this coffee will Kick Start your day, without fail, no electronics needed!
