    I tasted bright notes of clementine and panela sugar during my first sip, but as it cooled slightly, the taste progressed to soft caramel and almond. The mouthfeel was smooth and light, with a clean, citrus finish that lingered on my palate without bitterness. The barista said that they usually let the beans rest for about 10 days after roasting to keep the flavor stable. It was one of the cleanest and most consistent espressos I have tasted.

    Cupping Method:The barista pulled my shot on a Victoria Arduino Black Eagle machine set at 93.5 °C and used a 1:2 brew ratio. Extraction took about 28 seconds and produced light brown crema.

    This is a "Man on the Street" best espresso pick by Gor Gasparyan.

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, 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.
