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:
Grinding: Aim for a fine, consistent grind. The grounds should feel like fine sand between your fingers.
Dosing: Use 18-20 grams of coffee for a double shot.
Tamping: Apply even pressure (about 30 pounds) to create a level bed of coffee.
Brewing: Aim for an extraction time of 25-30 seconds for 1-2 ounces of espresso.
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!
