    This espresso was rock solid and comparable to the dark roast ristretto from the capsule. It doesn't jump out on any front, but it extracts well. It leads with dark chocolate and then has some complexity with a smoky flavor. The crema was a bit light-medium for this espresso but it wasn't so bitter it needed the crema to save the mouthfeel.

More Details

Roast Level: Italian
Italian roast coffee is one of the darkest roasts available, darker than what is typically labeled as "dark roast." The beans go to a higher temperature, which results in a glossy, dark brown appearance with an oily surface. The flavor profile of Italian roast coffee is characterized by its low acidity and heavy body, offering deep, rich, and sometimes charred or burnt flavors that hint at chocolate or caramel. However, the intensity of the roast often overshadows these. It is commonly used for espresso due to its strong taste and its thick, creamy consistency when brewed.
