River Moon Lucina – Italian Style Medium Roast Espresso Coffee, Milk Chocolate & Crema, Brazil, Central American & Indian Malabar Blend

Lucina is River Moon's Italian-style espresso blend — slow roasted from a low temperature and baked to a light smoky finish point for a cup that is intensely rich, sweet, and super smooth. The blend starts with beans from Brazil for a milk chocolate foundation, adds Central American beans for a robust, earthy tone, and finishes with a dash of Indian Malabar for a lovely, lasting crema. Equally exceptional as espresso or brewed as a pour over or drip coffee. Available as whole bean or fine espresso grind. Non-GMO. Direct Trade. 100% Arabica. Small-batch roasted in the USA.

Very smooth and silky! Better than the Illy Espresso Roast I'd been using for sure. No harshness or bitterness. Super impressed.

Caramel Smoothie

Lucina espresso is truly an amazing experience. I usually roast my own beans but with the pandemic I’m trying to support the small business folks. Words that immediately came to mind with Lucina in a latte was caramel smoothie. I tasted a shot and got grassy and I was waiting for a bitter finish but it never happened, I sensed just a hint of sweetness. I’m very happy, gonna be trying more from River Moon (Originally posted on Amazon)

Frequently asked questions

When is my coffee roasted?

Every order is roasted after it’s placed. Your coffee is not sitting in inventory waiting to ship.

How fresh will it be when it arrives?

Typically within a few days of roasting. You’re getting coffee at peak freshness, not weeks or months old.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are usually roasted and shipped within 1–2 business days. Delivery timing depends on your location, but most U.S. orders arrive within a few days after shipment.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. We ship to all 50 states.

Which blend should I start with?

If you’re unsure:

Gaia → balanced, everyday coffee
Hemera → brighter, more expressive
Epona → darker, fuller-bodied
Kona Waves → smooth, mellow, premium option

Should I order whole bean or ground?

Whole bean is best for freshness if you have a grinder. If not, choose ground for your brew method and it will be ready to use.

Which coffees work best for espresso?

LUCINA is designed for espresso. EPONA and Fade to Black also hold up well for a stronger, darker shot.

Do your coffees work with milk?

Yes. Gaia and Epona are especially good with milk. Darker roasts will cut through milk more; lighter roasts are best black or with a small amount.

Which blend should I start with?

If you’re unsure:

Gaia → balanced, everyday coffee
Hemera → brighter, more expressive
Epona → darker, fuller-bodied
