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 fresh.
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.

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.
