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.
The espresso program tells the clearest story. Two signature blends cover complementary territory: a medium-dark offering anchored in developed sweetness with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla, fudge, and roasted walnut that performs across espresso, drip, and cold brew and pairs especially well with milk; and a full-dark companion with brown sugar, plum, and dark chocolate designed for high-pressure extraction and consistent milk-based pulls alike. The single-origin selection demonstrates range within the dark-roast category: an anaerobic honey-processed Honduran microlot introduces bright floral hibiscus, warm nutmeg spice, and subtle honey sweetness — a reminder that dark roasting and origin character are not mutually exclusive. A full-bodied sugarcane-decaffeinated Colombian rounds out the catalog with brownie, black forest cake, cherry, caramel, and baking chocolate depth.
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 across 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 the medium-dark espresso blend the sole exception 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 anaerobic honey Honduran single origin 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.
