Equipment: Kafatek Monolith Conical grinder, Linea Mini (with 0.6mm jet and slightly reduced brew pressure)

Dose 17.5-18g
Pull time 28s-30s
Beverage weight 32-34 grams

Rest 6-8 days from roast date.

Pulls very evenly and nicely. Plenty of extraction allows for smaller doses.

Tasting notes:

Toasted brown sugar, clove. Slightly more roasted than I typically go for. However, not at all over-roasted, no burned notes or smoke. Better in milk than on its own in my opinion. Good body and lingering flavors.

Nice, thanks for the observations. I just picked up a bag of 1950 myself, but I'm planning to use it mostly for pour over brew. It's a bit long in the tooth for good espresso (roasted almost a month ago, bought a bag at the local coffee shop without checking the date).

Thanks for the review, Nuke. Is it reminiscent of anything else you've tried in the past few months?

Not really - I've been on an Africa kick. Rwanda especially - sweet as candy and floral.

This coffee is good in its own way. Toasty sugar and clove. But I miss the Rwandan.
