It finishes smooth, with notes of apple and lingering notes of gentle florals and citrus becoming more prevalent on the tail. Get it while you can! Espresso Notes: Recipe: 18g of coffee into 38g of espresso output. Approx. 27-30 second extraction. (Mahlkonig K30 grinder and Faema E-Nova A1 Espresso machine) This espresso is nice and bright with a creamy body. Firstly is the gentle floral aroma. The espresso tastes like it smells, sweet and light, with notes of chamomile and graham crackers with a little bit of almond. The body is really smooth and juicy. The lingering mouthfeel stays bright and sweet but has a nice soft spice that is most reminiscent of nutmeg.
