​Brew Notes: Finca Yum-cho, this coffee has everything you want from an espresso, great texture, complex fruits and a bright acidity! We did a short extraction here, as the longer extractions hid the beautiful florals and fruit in the coffee. If you prefer a sweeter, simpler espresso then definitely try extending the time to 30 seconds where the coffee shows more of it’s Costa Rican flair becoming earthy, sweet and chewy.

​Brew Notes: What a fun coffee from Costa Rica! Super soluble, draws down fast, and is a well-rounded cup. Coffee gets super sweet at longer extractions but has a dry finish which can be unpleasant so we recommend a slightly coarser grind and go for a quick extraction! Only needs gentle agitation and a nice slow pour.
