    Enjoyed this small cafe in Waltham that serves its own bagged coffee roasts.

    Barista couldn't really tell me whether it was white-labeled or not.

    The espresso is solid. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, fairly smooth, with a walnutty kicky on the back end. Good natural sweetness with some honey and brown sugar characteristics. Relatively low on the acid side.
    Medium, persistent crema. Not fireworks but a good house roast.

    Cupping Method:Double espresso at Ollo (with a Portuguese egg tart).

    Traits: chocolate brown sugar honey roasted walnut

Roast Level: Dark
Dark roast coffee features a more intense, robust flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. Therefore, when selecting a dark roast, expect less acidity, a full body, and flavors like dark chocolate, smokiness, and a hint of bitterness.
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.
