Amazing espresso

Excellent espresso profile that makes fantastic lattes. Another hit roast by Rosso!

Easy to dial in

This espresso has a bit of the traditional espresso profile but is remarkably easy to dial in. I’ve been pulling it around 1:2 over 30-40 seconds and it’s been consistently good.

Amazing for espresso

Chocolate taste and great value

Hit the spot

A great choice that I kept on hand for guests who like darker roasts than myself and less acidity. Got lots of compliments from drinkers!

Good taste

I really enjoyed the flavours. I like darker less acidic coffee and this was perfect.

I thought this was bad coffee until...

I brewed this coffee in the Aeropress using James Hoffmann's method. I tried everything from 80°C to 100°C and I just could not get the coffee to taste smooth. There was always too much acidity for me.

Then I started experimenting with the inverted method and stirring the coffee. I was skeptical that it would make any difference at all, but WOW! What a massive improvement in taste! It was such a good balance between acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. I could taste some caramel notes, and there was really nothing harsh to speak of.

Here's what I did if anyone wants to follow along.

- Inverted Aeropress. Push the plunger in to the 4 mark.
- 15g Turning Point ground at 15 clicks using Timemore Chestnut Nano (a fine grind. Not powder though.)
- heat water to 95°C for 200g pour. I use tap water through a Zero Water filter.
- start timer
- pour 100g water for about 15 seconds, then stir until 30 seconds.
- pour remaining 100g
- gently press out excess air after putting the filter cap on the Aeropress with a dry filter. You'll see the coffee start to soak the paper so you know when to stop.
- let brew until 2:30
- flip the Aeropress up onto your mug
- press for maybe 30 seconds. Just use the weight of your arm. No need to force. I pressed through the hiss.
- I added 40g french vanilla creamer by accident. I was going for 20g but poured too fast. It was still delicious! 😁
- to adjust the strength, I would probably choose to dilute the brewed coffee afterwards. I didn't find my cup to be exceptionally strong though. Just balanced.

Enjoy!
