Fellow's Take on Dead Reckoning by Corvus | Brew Recipe

Corvus Coffee's main espresso blend, featuring a Guatemalan base from Huehuetenango paired with Ethiopian coffees for complexity.

Dead Reckoning is part of Corvus's core cafe offerings, blending a chocolatey Guatemalan coffee from the Huehuetenango region with Ethiopian natural and washed coffees for structured acidity and fruit-forward sweetness. The result is an approachable espresso which appeals to coffee connoisseurs and everyday drinkers alike. We tasted berry, chocolate, and sweet lemon.
