You are pushing water through a compressed puck at nine bars of pressure in under thirty seconds, and every flaw in the bean shows up in the cup. Underdeveloped beans go sour. Scorched beans go bitter and ashy. What you want is a bean roasted to a full, even caramelization of its natural sugars, because those sugars are what carry the body and produce real crema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur two picks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonduras Espresso Roast\u003c\/strong\u003e is our family recipe and the reason people come back.

Semi washed processing leaves the fruit sugars in the bean, which gives you a heavy, syrupy body and a nutty chocolate sweetness that cuts through milk beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDialing it in\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart at 18 g in, 36 g out, 25 to 30 seconds, water at 200°F. If the shot runs fast and tastes sour, grind finer. If it chokes the machine and tastes bitter, grind coarser. Change one variable at a time and give fresh beans two or three days off the roast before you judge them, since very fresh coffee off gasses CO2 and can make extraction erratic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot just for espresso machines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspresso roast describes how far we took the roast, not the only way to brew it.
