Same here, and my favorite from them is their Ethiopia Sidama Michicha natural SO, which at the moment is available. I think it makes a fantastic espresso on my Pavoni. At one time they offered that same bean as their "49mm V 2.0". They ship promptly after roasting and offer a flat $5 USPS shipping option.

Last month's feature article on Coffee Review is about SO espresso, and touches on several issues discussed in this thread:

And this month's feature article is about coffees from Sumatra:

Speaking on SO Sumatras, a friend from Portland unexpectedly brought me a Sumatra Mandheling from Ristretto Roasters. It is really brilliant as a SO espresso pulled on my Cremina. Lots of crema, velvety mouthfeel. Low acidity. Tobacco and cloves over bittersweet cacao. Not a hint of 3rd wave OJ. People who prefer more roast flavors in the cup, either in espresso or brewed coffee, will likely appreciate a good Sumatra, especially next to something inherently lighter and brighter.
