    SQ1's Thaddeus Espresso shows itself as both approachable and layered. The aroma leans toward dried stone fruit and cocoa, and the shot carries plum and raisin sweetness lifted by a bright blackberry acidity. The balance shifts into bittersweet dark chocolate with brown sugar smoothing the finish. The body is syrupy without being heavy, the acidity lively but controlled, and the crema good, giving it presence in the cup. This is a comforting yet dynamic espresso that works well on its own or with milk (my wife really liked her latte).

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.
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.
