UncleBeanz.com NEW Espresso (Final Installment)

Another installment. . .

I tried the two roasts back to back. The first roast (lighter) was ultra-smooth. The second (20-25 seconds into second crack) was good too, but I think it took on too much of the roast characteristics. It was more potent, more smokey.

The grind had to be a bit courser for the second batch as the oils helped 'cake up' the grounds and I got a few 'sprayers' on the first pull.

I agree with Norman, this stuff is best at a little lighter roast. Not a robust, in your face, espresso - this espresso has class and elegance, almost like an aged wine.

I did a few more cappuccinos today with it and I am finding myself reading and learning more to hone my skills. The espresso is coming along, not perfect but coming along. My milk frothing leaves a lot to be desired.

Not my best 'shots', but I'm working at it!
