Try Londinium Espresso as a ristretto

Deploy your Londinium Espresso coffee beans as an espresso and surprise yourself with just how smooth a ristretto can be.  Don't know where to start with a ristretto?  The formula is easy, 14-16g of coffee in the double basket, but only allow enough water through to give a total volume of 30mL.  Ristretto: 'restricted' in English, and that's why; half the amount of water, or a doubling of the brew ratio if you prefer.  Our espresso roasts are so smooth that if you prefer a bit more shove, restrict them, and discover the smoothest, most complex, and enjoyable ristretto you've ever tasted.
