Made the best latte I've had in a long time!

Cupping Method:Latte with Oatly

Not terrible and very convenient. Robust flavor that tastes like coffee without any distinguishing character, fairly smooth.

Cupping Method:Hot

Solid medium espresso best suited for milk drinks. Clear blend when you open the bag with beans of different sizes and roast levels.

Sipping straight, it is easy to drink and very smooth with low acidity and complexity. Cocoa, caramel, and some berry flavor (but less so tartness). It drinks well hot and in an iced Americano. The crema is on the low side.

Its an easy espresso to work with and cortados and lattes came out nicely.

Cupping Method:Made multiple ways with my A53 Spaziale

I ordered a bag of Allegro Decaf Sumatra Lintong from the local Whole Foods, intrigued by its origins in the fertile lands of North Sumatra near Lake Toba. I intended to use it for affogato, an Italian coffee-based dessert that necessitated a good espresso. While the coffee served its purpose, it left something to be desired in the espresso format. The absence of crema and the resulting flavor was reminiscent of drip coffee rather than the rich, velvety espresso I had envisioned.

However, when I decided to try it as a pourover and French press, the Lintong revealed its worth. Reflecting its Sumatran roots, the coffee presented a heavier body than expected, leaning more towards medium/dark than pure medium roast. The flavor profile was quite solid, showcasing a harmonious blend of caramel and chocolate notes, underscored by a nutty undertone - a testament to the rich, volcanic soil of the Lintong region. These flavors were smoothly balanced, except for an unexpected hint of bitterness or perhaps an overroasted note that surfaced about three-quarters of the way through each cup. This slight hiccup didn't completely overshadow the enjoyable aspects of this coffee, but it was notable.

We have had this a few times. I like it as it enhances some of the desserts we have that are too sweet!

Cupping Method:Pourover with desserts

Solid cold brew that is more on the low acidity, darker roast side, but drinks pretty smooth.
