Go Get Em Tiger: West Coast Espresso Craft with Focused Single-Origin Depth
Go Get Em Tiger, operating under the brand GGET on the West Coast, is a specialty roaster with a tightly focused catalog built around the espresso bar experience. Their philosophy centers on consistency, intentionality, and accessible pricing — a positioning that makes them a natural fit for both home baristas building their espresso skills and cafe professionals looking for reliable, well-crafted blends.
Their two signature espresso blends tell the clearest story. Major Monuments Espresso (roast level 4, Medium-Dark) is the more versatile of the pair, anchored in developed sweetness with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla, fudge, and roasted walnut — it performs across espresso, drip, and cold brew, and pairs especially well with milk. Minor Monuments Espresso (roast level 5, Dark) goes deeper, offering brown sugar, plum, and dark chocolate in a full-bodied, high-pressure shot designed for consistency in milk beverages and straight pulls alike.
Their single-origin selection demonstrates range within the dark-roast category. The Blasina Martinez Honduras Anaerobic Honey (roast level 5, Dark) is a complex microlot with bright floral hibiscus, warm nutmeg spice, and subtle honey sweetness — the anaerobic honey process elevates this above typical dark-roast offerings. The Placer de la Tarde Colombia Decaf rounds out the catalog as a full-bodied, espresso-ready decaf with brownie, black forest cake, cherry, caramel, and baking chocolate notes, sugarcane-decaffeinated at origin for a clean, sweet result.
At $20 per 10.5oz bag for both blends and $23–$23.50 for single origins, Go Get Em Tiger delivers West Coast specialty quality at approachable prices. Use CoffeeByMe's AI recommendation tool to find your best match between the two blends and two single origins.

Roast Profile & Flavor Range
Go Get Em Tiger's catalog is intentionally dark-leaning — three of the four offerings sit at roast level 5 (Dark), with Major Monuments Espresso the sole medium-dark at level 4. Acidity is low-to-moderate across the lineup, and body is consistently full to very full, making these coffees well-suited to espresso extraction, milk pairing, and cold brew concentration. Dominant flavor themes are chocolate (dark and baking), brown sugar, stone fruit (plum, cherry), and warm spices. The Blasina Martinez Honduras adds a floral dimension through hibiscus and nutmeg that distinguishes it from the chocolate-forward blend offerings. Pricing is among the most competitive in the CoffeeByMe West Coast catalog: $20/10.5oz for both blends, $23–$23.50 for single origins.
