10 new speciality espresso coffees to start 2011 with

by Reiss Gunson on Wednesday, 29 December 2010 15:10

 You are looking at our 'to do' list.  10 coffees, none of which we have tried before, are how we have chosen to kick off 2011.  We've also got some other new coffee in the queue that we have yet to agree the roast profile on.  

One that is ready for release is a Honduran coffee that makes a very pleasant filter or vacuum coffee, and a nicely balanced espresso, although it could be criticised for being a little one dimensional as an espresso.  It has a lot more vibrancy than the Honduran SHG that it replaces, partly due to the fact that it is a new crop.  It is not as mellow as the Honduran SHG that we have recently run out of, which may disappoint some (us), but please others who thought what we had before was too bland.  The new Honduran is better if you like to sneak a little milk into your espresso.
