    Recommended as a medium espresso by Dune Coffee / Trade. This particular espresso is made from Honduran beans sourced from Urpania Guzman, which is notably near Benjamin Paz, a Honduras producer showing up everywhere with high-quality beans. This is a good roast that offers a nice combination of flavors, with a subtle nutty and fruity undertone, medium acidity, and a slightly lighter body and crema. From a sipping perspective, I will say some will find that a drawback.

    What stands out about this espresso is the unique midpalate experience. It's almost like a peachy or apricot sensation that lingers on the tongue, adding an interesting twist to the acidity. Despite this, the coffee retains a natural sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar, making it far from tart for an espresso.

    One of the key highlights of this espresso is its clean finish. Dune Coffee recommended it specifically for espresso, and it works well in a number of formats (I did latte, cortado, espresso, iced Americano, hot Americano) If you're searching for a well-balanced, flavorful espresso, this one is definitely worth a try. Definitely looking forward to trying more Dune overall.

    Also, Dune has gorgeous gift worth bags.

More Details

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: Honduras
Honduran specialty coffee is distinguished by its diverse growing regions, such as Copán, Santa Bárbara, and Comayagua, each offering distinct flavor profiles due to the country's varied microclimates and elevations. Coffee from Honduras often features bright acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including fruity, nutty, and chocolatey notes.
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.
