Beautifully Balanced Creamy Coffee

This was a serious gamble for me, buying a kg of coffee by a brand i never tried before, with a fully mechanical espresso maker.. But the flavor notes intrigued me and i wanted to give it a try. It really did not disappoint! The flavor profile on the bag describes the coffee quite accurately. The coffee makes a fantastic espresso and works amazingly with milk. A very creamy milk chocolate hazelnut flavor with a subtle plum sweetness and even a light floral aftertaste. Beans ground very easily in my hand grinder. Calibration was easy and simple to achieve. Beans consistency over a few days with temp and weather difference was pretty much unchanged. The taste was very pleasant and gentle on the palette; no overbearing harsh flavors. Bitterness/sweetness/ and acidity were all at a comfortable and enjoyable level. 5 out of 5.
