Spectre Dark Espresso Roast K-Cups
A dark espresso roast blended from Colombian and Indonesian Sumatra beans. Colombian brings the chocolate and brightness. Sumatra brings the body, earth, and low-acid depth. Together: dark chocolate, toffee, and a smooth finish that pulls a clean shot without the bitterness.
Named for the AC-130 Spectre gunship — the platform that operated at night, unseen, with precision. Spectre the coffee is built the same way. Dark, controlled, and effective.
12-count single-serve K-cup pods. Also available as ground and whole bean bags and 5-pound bulk bags.
About Spectre
What is Spectre coffee?
Spectre is a dark espresso roast coffee from Aerial Resupply Coffee, roasted in Charlottesville, Virginia. A Colombian-Sumatra blend named after the AC-130 Spectre gunship — the fixed-wing fire support platform that owns the night. Built for espresso, capable across all brew methods.
Where is it roasted?
In-house at the Aerial Resupply Coffee roastery at 705 Dale Ave, Charlottesville, VA. Every batch roasted to order.
What does it taste like?
Rich dark chocolate and hints of toffee with a full, heavy body and low acidity. The Colombian base brings sweetness and structure; the Indonesian Sumatra adds depth and an earthy, complex finish.
What's the bean blend?
Colombian coffee blended with Indonesian Sumatra. Two origins built for one purpose — a dark espresso roast with more complexity than a single-origin dark can deliver.

Is Spectre available as a subscription?
Yes. Spectre is available through the 1st Caffeine Regiment subscription — save 15% on every order, with $1 per order donated to Service Dogs of Virginia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Spectre only for espresso machines?
No. Spectre is optimized for espresso but works in drip, French press, and moka pot. Expect a very bold, full-bodied cup in any brew method.
How is Spectre different from 15W40?
Both are dark roasts but different origins and profiles. 15W40 is a Colombian Supremo Italian roast — dark chocolate and caramel, versatile across brew methods. Spectre is a Colombian-Sumatra blend roasted for espresso — heavier body, earthier finish, more complexity under pressure.
How do larger K-cup orders ship?
40 and 100-count orders ship sealed in a bag instead of a box.
Is Spectre veteran-owned?
Aerial Resupply Coffee is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), founded by a U.S. Army logistics officer and Bronze Star recipient. Privately held. Not publicly traded.
