Crema's Take
“McLaughlin's freshly roasted beans—particularly their Costa Rican and house blends like Espresso Maximo—punch well above their weight, with enough intensity and consistency to earn endorsements from other local roasters and coffee professionals alike. If you're serious about home brewing or want a reliable espresso-focused shop for quick, traditional drinks, this is legitimately among the best quality beans in the area. Just stick with in-person visits; their delivery logistics appear to be a headache.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot.

Bought 2 bags for my father in-law’s 82nd birthday. He loved it - “Boy! Was that Costa Rican coffee strong! Fit for a drunk to wake him up.“ Thank you McLaughlin coffee for keeping my in-law relations in harmony! ❤️
