Coffee roasters like to give their roasts fancy names to invoke some emotional response in their drinkers. Perhaps this explains why Kicking Horse calls one of their roasts ‘454 Horsepower’.
The question is, will the coffee really be able to perk you up and add more ‘horsepower’ to you? I picked up a bag to find out.
I will sample and review the Kicking Horse 454 Horsepower Dark Roast in this post. I will try it as French press, pour-over, and espresso before comparing it with other relevant coffee in my collection.
