GRRREAT!!! (on Black Torpedo Espres...)
intrepid510 | Tue, 05/22/2012The taste of this coffee was what I expect of a lot of the third wave espresso, it had a nice little chocolate taste in the front and then trailed off into nice orange acidity. One of the great things that I have liked about this espresso is that it has been pretty easy to pull and get a good shot from, which cannot be said of all third wave espresso. I only use one grinder and go back forth between espresso and drip, so I normally end up with a shot or two that are not optimal when going back to espresso, goes a little long or short. This one seemed to handle those inconsistencies well, also nice it didn't require a real high temp as well to get the most out of it. The only real draw back with this blend is that it doesn't have that real thick body that other espresso blends can have, but it didn't really take back anything from the espresso.
GREAT SERVICE (on Guatemala - Finca Cu...)
intrepid510 | Wed, 05/16/2012I actually ended up with the Finca Santa Clara also from Guatemala. Unforunately they were out of this one when I ordered, real easy dealing with both them and Roaste to get a replacement coffee, and they upsized me to a pound too so that was nice. Not to mention that the coffee was one of the best I have had this year, would not hesitate to order from again.
GREAT COFFEE! (on Black Torpedo Espres...)
rah0004 | Fri, 03/16/2012This was a complex & smooth espresso with great flavor & fragrance. It was wonderful straight, & also held up to milk well. Customer service/shipping was excellent, as well!
SMOOTH BUT LITTLE ELSE? (on Guatemala - Finca Ch...)
10spro | Sat, 12/04/2010Very smooth. Not bitter, but would have enjoyed more if had stronger finish.
