"Old School Espresso® is perfect for those who prefer low acidity and full body. Dark chocolate aroma with profound flavours of cocoa, caramel and molasses."
Taste: Average, medium acidity which turns to bitter as the temperature decreases. 3 out of 5.
Funnel Mill. Has a huge menu including the $1000.00 a pound Kopi Luwaki and is $90.00 for a cup.
No cell phone use in line too.
Machine and grinder: Rancilio manual spring lever, Mazzer Robur. No one I have been to uses a manual spring lever.
Beans: Milan which is their own blend. "Dark Roast from South America, Body: Bold & Cocoa, Acidity: Low. A rich blend of South American beans, Italian roasted to a deep, dark brown. These beans yield a full, complex body with a thick rich crown."
Taste: The first thing you notice is the delightful aroma of milk chocolate and cocoa. Tastes like it smells almost like a cappuccino. 4.5 out of 5.
Demitasse. I also tried the Kyoto 15 hour cold drip coffee which was my 11th drink of the day.
Machine and grinder: La Marzocco GB 5, Mahlkonig ek43. Also has the 4 barrel, "crucibles," steampunk and the 15 hour cold drip Kyoto rack.
Beans: Barundi Kayanza. "This coffee, containing Bourbon, Jackson and Miribzi varietals, also sports a unique process - double fermentation. The cherry is first pulped, soaked in water, then washed and soaked again, resulting in an insanely clean and smooth cup. This coffee comes from Segec Washing Station, one of the few purchased and run by a local entrepreneur as opposed to an international trading house."
Flavor Notes: Plums, persimmons and grapes.
Taste: Fruity which was a great change of pace from all of the chocolate nutty drinks. Turned slightly bitter as it cooled. 3.3 out of 5.
