    Very chocolatey medium dark espresso that pulls consistently with a massive crema and lovely mouthfeel. No burnt or bitter notes to be found here. Some nice natural sweetness. A slight hint of blackstrap molasses.

    While I generally like my espresso to have a bit more acidity and complexity, I think this one does a really good job with what they are going for here.

    As someone who typically likes light roast, this medium-dark roast was a hit! It was devoid the heavy, oily feeling of a standard dark roast, but still was able to hit those satisfying deep notes, notably sweet chocolate cake. Smooth and balanced.

More Details

Roast Level: Medium Dark
Medium-dark or Vienna roast coffee features a deeper, richer flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. When selecting a Vienna roast, look for a lower acidity, bolder body, and flavors with dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nut notes, and mild smokiness.
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, which is 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.
