With Giant Steps, John Coltrane pushed harmony in new directions, bringing distinct notes together to create something entirely his own.
We take the same approach to coffee. Our Signature Blends celebrate the art of blending, finding harmony and contrast between distinct coffees to create something new.
Giant Steps, named after Coltrane’s landmark album, layers deep cocoa with sweeter notes of toasted marshmallow and graham cracker.

Every blend needs a strong foundation.
Hayes Valley Espresso is the darker side of our Signature Blends, built around deep chocolate and brown sugar sweetness, with a full body designed to hold its own as espresso.
Bold, steady, and composed with purpose.

A good composition isn’t always about perfect harmony. Sometimes it’s the contrast that makes it interesting.
Bella Donovan brings that idea to our Signature Blends, pairing rich chocolate with bright, jammy blueberry for a blend that’s both familiar and unexpected.
Different notes, better together.

Crafted with precision. Shaped by improvisation.
Introducing our Coltrane Cold Foam, a fresh interpretation of our Giant Steps blend, shaped by the expressive spirit of jazz. Slowly cold brewed to reveal its deepest chocolatey notes, then topped with velvety vanilla chicory cold foam and freshly grated Okinawan black sugar.
Available for a limited time at Blue Bottle cafes across the U.S.

For us, coffee and jazz have always shared a rhythm: precise in craft, expressive in every interpretation.
That idea has shaped Blue Bottle since the beginning. Our Signature Blend, Giant Steps, was named after John Coltrane’s groundbreaking album. This coffee’s roast profile is not unlike his visionary jazz, with smooth, chocolatey bass notes and sweet, divergent riffs.
This month, in honor of Coltrane’s centennial, we’re returning to where it all began with a month of jazz, celebrating the music that inspired us and continues to move culture forward.

This month marks one hundred years
of John Coltrane.
Throughout his life, Coltrane transformed jazz again and again. With Giant Steps, he pushed harmony to its limits, creating a progression so demanding it remains a proving ground for musicians today. His work continued to evolve, opening new possibilities for what music could express.
That spirit of continual transformation has stayed with us since the beginning. We named our Giant Steps blend after the Coltrane record we returned to again and again. It continues to remind us that craft is never finished and that every creation can become the starting point for a new interpretation.
On his centennial, we celebrate a musician who never stopped searching and whose music still asks us to listen differently.
