However, the best use of this coffee, again for me, was when I pulled as just described and used in an Americano. Pretty smooth with little sourness detected. I do not think there was any fault with this coffee.
FWIW, I think the Sumatra Mandheling, South Italian Espresso Roast works best when treated the same way. Terrior's Calabria is way more to my liking
Next up, the Espresso sampler from Counter Culture. I think I'm ready for blends again...
Thanks again to everyone who replied here. Much appreciated

Dave,
Was the espresso enjoyable as 2oz double or only as an Americano ?
If it is the later I would try another roast date
