Lofty's Campfire Blend might be the best espresso I've had on my Southern California trip. It brings a lot together in one shot. It is layered and complex, but also familiar and easy to enjoy. My wife really enjoyed her latte.
The first thing that stands out is the dark chocolate and blackberry. Those flavors are bold and upfront, but they're balanced by a pleasant sweetness that keeps it smooth. There's a hint of graham cracker that gives the espresso a comforting, almost s'mores like character without being too literal. I can't say I find the marshmallow, but that would've been fun.
It doesn't say what the roast level is, but it drinks like a medium roast with just a touch of smoke in the background. The acidity is dark fruit, juicy and clean without being sharp.Cupping Method:Double espresso at Coffee Box at Alila Marea in Encinitas, CA
