Description

Developed as our go to espresso but makes a great drip coffee

Between 1830 and 1840, where the modern community of Bridgeport is today, was a grim place referred to as Hardscrabble. Chicago’s first slum was inhabited by Irish immigrants that spent their lives digging the Illinois-Michigan canal by hand. Called “shovelmen” these hardworking souls were paid a $1 a day and whiskey. This blend is a tribute to them.

Bridgeport Coffee is proud to announce our support to the Ellie Strong Foundation. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Hardscrabble Blend will be donated in honor of Ellie’s memory and the mission of this wonderful organization.
