ESPRESSO BLEND

Impressions: Bright, complex, fruity. A unique blend of beans roasted to highlight the sweet and fruity notes typical of medium Northern Italian style espresso. The sweetness is balanced with medium acidity, capped by a rich bronze crema. Outstanding as a drip coffee. The current blend consists of 75% Peru and 15% Costa Rica with 10% of the top-rated Uganda robusta to enhance mouthfeel and crema duration.

Origin Data

ABOUT THIS COFFEE:

The beans we use for our espresso blend change with the harvest season. It is always blended from two or three of our Top 1% single origin coffees. Espresso is usually best at least 3 days off roast and will continue to pull wonderful shots out through 15 days post-roast. You will need to adjust your grind just a tiny bit finer each day that the coffee degasses. We find that shots of our blend taste best at a 1:2 ratio (16 grams of coffee pull to a 32 gram shot) at 203 degrees. The shot should complete as close to 23 seconds as you can manage
