Mastering the Perfect Espresso with Cafecito House's Intenso Blend

Mastering the Perfect Espresso with Cafecito House's Intenso Blend

For all the espresso enthusiasts out there, our Intenso Blend is the key to creating barista-quality shots at home. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlock the full potential of this medium-dark roast:


  1. Grinding: Aim for a fine, consistent grind. The grounds should feel like fine sand between your fingers.

  2. Dosing: Use 18-20 grams of coffee for a double shot.

  3. Tamping: Apply even pressure (about 30 pounds) to create a level bed of coffee.

  4. Brewing: Aim for an extraction time of 25-30 seconds for 1-2 ounces of espresso.

  5. Tasting Notes: Look for a rich crema and notes of dark chocolate and caramel.


Pair your perfect espresso with a traditional Colombian arepa for an authentic experience. Remember, practice makes perfect – don't be afraid to experiment and find your ideal brew!
