From the southern region of Huila in Colombia, the town of Santa Maria. This region is known for its soft coffees with medium body, gentle sweetness , and hints of citrus. It also adds a bit of recognizable cardamom, which works well with both milky and pure espresso drinks. We love this coffee so much; that we serve a second harvest in a row.
We always make a double shot of espresso to be as consistent as possible. This way the possibility of both under- and over-extraction is limited. Therefore we advise you to use the filter basket designated for a double shot. Every machine should come with one, if not please visit your preferred supplier and get one.
Weigh and grind your coffee with precision so you are sure everything is according to the recipe. If you have any questions or your home setup is not complete yet, visit the bar and we'll help you out.
