Verve's flagship all-purpose blend of washed Latin American coffees: clementine, red apple and honeycomb, roasted to order.
Streetlevel is Verve Coffee Roasters' flagship medium-roast blend of washed coffees from Honduras, Guatemala and Colombia, designed to work for drip, pour-over and espresso. Verve lists clementine, red apple and honeycomb notes and publishes espresso, drip and French press recipes for it. It has a smaller review footprint than the biggest specialty brands, but Reddit home baristas praise its shot-to-shot consistency and balance.

What people are saying
From the forums.
Verbatim from Reddit, forums and long-term owner write-ups — linked so you can read the full thread.
“We've gone through a lot of different beans and keep coming back to Verve Streetlevel as our coffee of choice for it. The shot to shot consistency is good, it's not too expensive if you get the 5lb bags online, and the balance is great.”
“Verve is a Santa Cruz roaster, their Bronson or Streetlevel both have chocolate notes and are sold at Whole Foods.”
“I got a rock in my bag of Streetlevel by Verve and they sent me out a new batch immediately. Worth reaching out at least!”
