RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – Klatch Coffee announces the release of its newest espresso, Centennial, to coincide with the nationwide celebration of the 100th anniversary of Route 66, “the mother of the road.” 2026 kicks off a nationwide celebration of the history of Route 66 with events across the U.S., and Klatch Coffee joins the celebration with a novel coffee that reminds us of the freedom to travel across the American West.
“Route 66 is close to our hearts here in Klatch – the original Route 66 cuts through our hometown of Rancho Cucamonga.” says Klatch Coffee co-founder Mike Perry. “We created Centennial as a tribute to the open road and the timeless spirit of American travel – enjoy!”
Klatch Coffee’s first location is located on the historic Thomas Winery plaza, on the grounds of a winery that was founded in 1839, almost 200 years ago. Today, the plaza is California Landmark 490, in recognition of the area’s winemaking past and the historical significance of Route 66.
Centennial will be available at https://www.klatchcoffee.com/products/centennial-route-66 starting Tuesday, Jan. 20 ($22.95/310-gram bag) and features artwork that nods to the neon signs and roadside restaurant culture of simpler times in America.
Centennial joins Klatch Coffee’s family of award-winning coffee beans, which includes competition-winning espressos such as WBC World’s Best Espresso and Belle Espresso, rated 94/100 points. by Przegląd Kawa.
