Switchyard Blend Medium-Dark Roast Coffee 12 oz

Roasted to order. Shipped the same day. Every bag of Switchyard Blend leaves our roastery fresh — not sitting in a warehouse. That's the Mainline difference.

Where Bold Flavors Meet the Open Rail

The Switchyard Blend is Mainline Roastery's signature medium-dark roast — a carefully crafted union of Caturra and Ethiopia Heirloom beans sourced from East Africa and South America, processed both naturally and washed to unlock layers of complexity in every cup.

Expect a rich, indulgent flavor journey with notes of bittersweet chocolate, toasted marshmallow, candied orange, and praline — a blend that's as bold and dependable as the locomotives that inspired it.

Brew Tip

Start with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio as your baseline — adjust to taste from there. For espresso, aim for a 1:2 ratio.
