Our roaster takes these beans to a full caramelization so the natural sugars carry the shot, which is what gives you thick crema and a syrupy body instead of a sour or hollow extraction. Because the acidity sits low, it holds up just as well in milk drinks as it does straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEspresso machine:\u003c\/strong\u003e fine grind, 18 g in, 36 g out, 25 to 30 seconds, water at 200°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoka pot:\u003c\/strong\u003e fine-medium grind, fill the basket level, pull off the heat as soon as it gurgles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrip:\u003c\/strong\u003e medium grind, 1:16 coffee to water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrench press:\u003c\/strong\u003e coarse grind, 4 minute steep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrind fresh right before you brew and store the bag sealed, away from light and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we get asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these organic espresso beans?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. USDA Certified Organic and Fair Trade, roasted in a CCOF Certified Organic facility under the USDA National Organic Program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs dark roast more bitter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot when it is roasted properly. Bitterness in dark roast usually comes from scorching. We roast in small batches to a full, even caramelization, which is why this cup reads bold rather than burnt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs espresso roast lower in acid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally yes. Longer roasting breaks down more of the chlorogenic acids, which is why dark and espresso roasts are a common pick for people who find bright coffees hard on the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it in a drip machine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely. Espresso roast describes the roast profile, not the only way to brew it. It makes a rich, chocolatey drip cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it gluten free and non-GMO?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes on both. Coffee is naturally gluten free, and organic certification prohibits GMOs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kafie 1901","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67694979449136,"sku":"K1901-COF-ESPRESSO","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/1268\/0752\/files\/kafie-packshot-espresso.png?v=1787936149","url":"https:\/\/kafiecoffee.com\/products\/kafie-1901-italian-espresso-roast","provider":"Kafie 1901 Coffee Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
