Cake in a cup!

This is my first batch of Milky Cake; and I'll preface with saying that it definitely lives up to the hype around it! These beans are incredibly fragrant and sweet. You can really taste the pistachio and cardamom. However, this one was a TOUGH dial-in for espresso with my entry-level equipment. No matter how finely I ground, these beans would just not build up enough pressure, and, when ground too finely-- would quickly lose that pistachio and honey sweetness, taking on a somewhat generic acidic flavor. I ended up using the last half of the bag in a V60 brew instead, which worked quite well despite being roasted for espresso.

Overall, these beans are extremely aromatic and flavorful and make for a nice change of pace, but the flavour does get a bit overwhelming after a couple brews in a row! I would absolutely order again though, whenever I feel like I want something a bit more interesting in my rotation.

This just keeps getting better. Inconsistent for a while in 2024 but recent releases have been top notch

So much depth

This is an incredible roast. Such a playful combination of flavours. Very well balanced and delicious as an espresso or in a milk-based drink. Easy to dial in. An absolute treat. If you want a unique medium roast, this is for you.
