PROJECT X is an espresso and coffee blend created for Sawada Coffee and Hiroshi Sawada by Metropolis Coffee Company. Starting from samples of beans Hiroshi roasted for his Tokyo cafe, and working in secret (Code Name: “Project X”), Metropolis fashioned a blend that seamlessly recreated not just the flavor of his classic Japanese style, but also its intent. Coffee may be a simple and everyday experience, but when it’s perfect, it makes part of your day perfect, too. That’s world-class coffee culture.
This is a rare treat of a cup that is not just a typical dark roast. Ideal to warm up winter.
I have been buying from Metropolis for over 10 years and I think this is the most disappointing blend I have purchased to date. Bitter like burnt motor oil. Total lack of character.
I first tasted Project X at the Doughnut Vault in downtown Chicago, in the tastiest cappuccino I had been served in a long while. I wasn't sure at the time if it was the preparation, the doughnut pairing, or the coffee beans (or all three), so I bought the beans to take home and test it for myself.
As it turned out, these beans beat out all the household competition. Project X produces the smoothest, most savory coffee around. I have since moved to Maine and was pleased to discover I can order it online. It still beats out the local competition as my favorite brew!
I had some in person in Chicago, loved it because of how easy it was to drink and how well it paired with normal milk and non dairy milk. Incredibly happy to say it holds up just as well making it at home! Very happy and highly recommend. Also the roast date was basically the the day or the day before it shipped so by the time it arrived it’s at the perfect point as far as gasses in the beans go.
Love this coffee. Introduced to me as a gift. Now I have given as a gift, and purchased for myself. Will order again!
