Espresso Brew Guide
To achieve the perfect "velvety" texture with this specialty dark roast, we recommend a slightly longer yield to let the cacao notes sing. While we provide a starting point, every home coffee machine is different. Factors like pump pressure, grinder quality, and water temperature will vary, so we recommend using these as a guide and tweaking the settings to suit your personal preference.

Roaster’s Tip: The 1:2.5 ratio helps stretch out the heavy chocolate notes, preventing the cup from feeling too restricted. It creates a bold base that cuts through milk with ease.
