    I recently tried the Bluestone Lane Maverick Espresso Roast at their caf in Harvard Square, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. This espresso had a noticeable caramel flavor with a light, lemony finish. I could also detect hints of raspberry, which added a subtle fruity note to the taste.

    One thing that stood out to me was the lightness of the coffee, making it an easy and refreshing choice. The crema on top was well-executed, providing a creamy texture.

    However, I found the coffee to be slightly more tart than I personally prefer. While it didn't overpower the other flavors, the acidity was noticeable. It didn't significantly impact my enjoyment of the coffee, but it may not be to everyone's taste.

    The caf itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

    Overall, I would give the Bluestone Lane Maverick Espresso Roast a four-star rating. It offers a pleasant blend of flavors with the caramel and raspberry notes being the highlights. The lightness of the coffee and the good crema contribute positively as well. Although it may be slightly more tart than desired, it remains a solid choice for those seeking a flavorful espresso.

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
Bean Source Country: International Blend
International blend coffee refers to a blend of coffee beans sourced from different regions or countries worldwide. International blends combine beans with distinct flavor profiles and characteristics, resulting in a harmonious and complex cup of coffee. The quality of an international blend depends on the expertise of the coffee roaster, who carefully selects and combines beans to achieve a specific flavor and balance. Roasters who excel in crafting international blends have a deep understanding of the different growing regions, varietals, and processing methods.
Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure. It is characterized by its rich flavor and distinctive crema—the creamy layer that forms on top of the extracted process. When evaluating espresso, coffee experts often focus on key tasting characteristics such as aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste. Aroma refers to the fragrant smells released during brewing, while flavor encompasses the coffee's overall taste profile, including notes of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and richness. Body refers to the coffee's texture or mouthfeel, with descriptors like full-bodied, medium-bodied, or light-bodied. Aftertaste, or the finish, pertains to the lingering flavors and sensations experienced after swallowing the coffee. A well-prepared espresso is prized for its balance and complexity, combining these sensory attributes into a harmonious whole.
