    Drinkable, just OK dark roast espresso. Low crema and a bit thin. Flavor characteristics were good with smoke and spice. Slight hint of woodiness.

    I've gotten pretty good at guessing whether I'll get a good cup of coffee based on the sugar packs at bars in Spain - Kahova would probably be one I'll avoid

    Cupping Method:At Pola Giverola on the Costa Brava in Spain. It was a disc-based system using a Spaziale espresso machine. I can't imagine the type of disc wouldn't affect crema development.

More Details

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.
