Quick Reference

Tip: Super fresh coffee. If nothing comes out or it drips slowly, go 2–3 notches coarser straight away.

Charlie's Tasting Notes:

As espresso: Really well balanced. Brown sugar sweetness, caramel, and dark chocolate. Still bright when it's super fresh (a few days old), with a slight acidity that fades as the coffee rests. Even slightly over-extracted, it's a good cup.

With milk: Goes super malty with a milk chocolate sweetness. The brightness disappears completely. Plenty of flavour even as a single shot through a full cup of milk.
