Kopi Luwak: a stunning espresso!

We’ve just had our first shots of Kopi Luwak as an espresso. This is an experiment that has paid off. A reasonably fine grind is required to ensure the water doesnt shoot through the puck too fast. It produces a wonderful ‘chocolatey’ espresso with very low acidity. If you like your espresso to be mild & smooth (as we do) then you’ll really enjoy this coffee. A similar style of espresso to say the Indian Monsoon Malabar

Oddly this coffee is a lot more unique as an espresso than it is as a filter coffee

We still need to run it as a vacuum coffee, but having run this coffee as an espresso we are now very pleased to welcome it to the Londinium coffee library. We look forward to observing how the taste changes as it ages over the next few days

On no account would you add milk to this coffee; it would simply be bland, washed-out & non-descript, and merely serve as an expensive way to discolour milk
