Common Espresso Coffee Beans, Dark Roast

Description

What it tastes like

Rich and punchy. Dark chocolate and caramel, with a bit of red berry underneath. Strong enough to wake you up, smooth enough to drink black.

How to brew it

Made for espresso machines. Pulls a thick shot with plenty of crema (the golden foam on top), and holds its own in a flat white or latte. Also great in a moka pot (the stovetop one) or cafetière if you like it strong.

What’s in it

Colombian Dulima and Brazilian Café Delas, the same pair as Coffee Morning, just roasted for longer. Darker roasting brings out the chocolate and body, and calms down the acidity.

Questions

Will it work in my espresso machine?
That’s what it’s for. Grind it fine for espresso, a touch coarser for a moka pot.

Can I use it in a cafetière or filter?
Yes, it makes a rich, heavy cafetière. For filter or V60 you’ll probably prefer Coffee Morning or Colombia Huila.

How fresh is it?
It’s at its best from about a week after roasting up to a month or so. The roast date’s on every bag.

How should I store it?
Keep the bag sealed, somewhere cool and dark. Not the fridge, it picks up smells. Got a 1kg bag? Freeze half and it’ll keep for months.

Drink a lot of it? Get it every month instead. £8 for your first month with code COFFEE20 at checkout, then £10.
