Recently I switched beans and ground a shot worth of espresso, proceeded to pull and got a WAY over extracted espresso with lots of oil slick floating on top with over 1 minute pull. As an experiment I made it into a cappuccino and had a very interesting flavor profile with overwhelming flavor of mushrooms. (Like a crimini/portabello like mushroom.)

It was actually pretty good, but it did make me wish I was eating it with a baguette and a french omelette! I won't be making more pulls like that intentionally, but it wasn't too bad for an occasional mistake.

It's amazing the flavors you can pull out of an espresso bean. :)
