Praline, Malt, Roasted Chestnut
Riposo is Wogan's classic house espresso blend - praline, malt and roasted chestnut, quietly refined over years at their Bristol roastery. It holds up across brew methods, takes milk without complaint, and is the kind of coffee you can come back to every morning without ever really questioning it.
A dependable, all-day espresso crowd-pleaser
Riposo is Wogan's long-standing house espresso blend - the one they've been quietly refining at their Bristol roastery for years, adjusting the recipe to keep every cup landing in the same place. That consistency is the point. Praline and malt carry the body, with roasted chestnut rounding things out into a finish that lingers without demanding your attention. It's the kind of coffee that works hard in the background of your morning without asking you to think too much about it.
Wogan keep the blend recipe close to their chest, which is fair enough - what matters is that it holds up across a range of brew methods. One of their team drinks it through a stovetop or cafetière all day, and it's easy to see why: there's enough body and sweetness to stay interesting cup after cup without tipping into bitterness. It pulls well as an espresso and takes milk without losing itself.
If you want something dependable and well-made that you can come back to every morning without second-guessing, Riposo is a solid place to land.
