Espresso Milano

Raisin, toasted nuts, and a creamy body. An espresso blend meant to be drunk straight. The Ethiopia natural and South American coffees are blended before roasting, so it drinks like a single origin espresso: some delicate fruit and florals on top, honey underneath.

This is the one for people who drink espresso black and do not want it to taste like a French roast. It is softer and sweeter than Espresso Brioso and does not push through milk the same way. In a big latte it gets lost.

Dial in around 1:2 and stretch toward 1:2.5 if you want more clarity. It works as a filter coffee too.
