Even with amazing foam the lattes was just good.
I experimented with this espresso a bit but never quite found a shot that really impressed me. It has a delightful chocolate aroma, both pre- and post-grind, and the bag notes of brown sugar, dried apricot, and butterscotch mostly held true once pulled as espresso. It's just doesn't come quite together. I never got a single shot of espresso I thought was outstanding though it was all OK. The crema was sticky and medium-bodied, offering decent complexity, though nothing extraordinary. It worked well in the drinks I made, and while it wasn't a standout, it got consistent, positive feedback from family visiting. I've heard great things about Bird Rock and hope to try more of their coffee.
Also quite good
