We usually send what we are pulling in-house that week.  We don't sway too much from a few blends because what works, well...works!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome notes about our espresso: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eOur espresso is a blend of our current micro lot coffees that will accentuate the acidity, body and balance when pulled or brewed as an espresso. Just the right balance of body, silky mouthfeel, sweet acidity, fruity notes and chocolate\/cocoa\/caramel undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eOur espresso is light roasted, craft style like our other coffees to bring out the origin flavors rather than the roasting flavors of traditional espresso. Heavier roasted coffees react differently to grinding and water when extraction occurs causing more resistance against pressure being produced by the water pump.  Darker roasted coffees usually extract better at coarser grinds since they retain less moisture so the same grind with light roasts will pull very fast.  Note that body and roast level are not the same.  A good shot should take 20-30 seconds to extract well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe more advanced your equipment is the better your results will usually be. Equipment such as the Breville line even with built in grinders might present some complications. We have found that using the double porta filter for single shots works better since the diameter (53mm) is smaller and deeper than the professional models (58mm) which are wider and shallower.  This creates a larger surface area and less depth for the water to travel over and through making the shot more accurate. Start with a grind setting in the middle and tweak from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIt is also helpful to not use the built in grinder’s hopper, rather weigh your beans accordingly per shot\/use and manually put in the hopper to be ground.  This will be more accurate.  Typically, 8-12g for lighter roasts, for a single shot and 18g for doubles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePlease keep these tips in mind when working with our espresso blends. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our coffees are shipped whole bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*PLEASE NOTE: SUBSCRIPTION COFFEES ARE SHIP ONLY.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Troubadour Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":49225479258340,"sku":null,"price":46.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8035\/6068\/files\/espresso-coffee-subscription.webp?v=1782765802","url":"https:\/\/troubadourcoffeeroasters.com\/products\/espresso-coffee-subscription","provider":"Troubadour Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
