Cafe Grumpy Heartbreaker Espresso

Postby aindfan on Sat Jan 15, 2011 9:57 am

Just wanted to throw in another plug for Grumpy's Heartbreaker here. It's delicious at their shop, of course. At home this morning I got sweet grapefruit from 20.5g in an LM triple basket for a 1.5oz shot. I think the baristas recommend 19g, but I tend to get carried away with the dose.

Bottom line: it tastes great. Definitely pick up a bag if you're in the area, especially if you're getting bored of chocolate espresso.

Update: I must have remembered the suggestions incorrectly. The barista at the Chelsea Cafe Grumpy yesterday suggested 21g in a triple basket, with the first drops around 10-11 sec and running the shot out to about 27sec (I think).
