Ground Control

The story

A nod to Rocket City

Ground Control is our house espresso blend, designed to deliver a smooth, consistent shot with rich sweetness and balanced depth.

We rotate components depending on what's in season, but generally try to include a honey - or natural-process South American coffee for structure - the body, texture, and backbone of the coffee - and a pleasant toasted nuttiness. We like to incorporate a high-altitude Central American coffee for rich cocoa tones and sweetness.

Together, they create a syrupy, balanced espresso with enough clarity to shine on its own and enough depth to hold up beautifully in milk-based drinks.

Ground Control pays tribute to Huntsville’s legacy of innovation — a nod to the engineers, dreamers, and problem-solvers who helped launch the Gemini program and Apollo missions.

Just as NASA’s Mission Control brought together countless systems & teams into one cohesive launch room, this espresso blend unites coffees from Latin America and Africa into a rich, balanced cup that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Crafted for versatility and consistency, Ground Control keeps your daily ritual steady — no matter what mission the day holds.
