Espresso
Hummingbird
We pull our espresso as a double ristretto shot. This means we’re using about a 1:1 ratio of coffee weight to espresso liquid weight. Here is our suggested recipe:
1) Dose your espresso shot at 19g.
2) Stop the shot between 19 - 22g (to taste). You should see the espresso beginning to blonde.
3) Aim for a shot time between 24 - 30s.
4) Adjust grind according to your shot time: make the grind finer to lengthen your shot time, coarser to shorten it.
Ethiopia Natural Jemjemo Wolde Hirbe
1) Dose your espresso shot at 18g.
2) Stop the shot between 23 - 27g (to taste). You should see the espresso beginning to blonde.
3) Aim for a shot time between 27 - 35s.
4) Adjust grind according to your shot time: make the grind finer to lengthen your shot time, coarser to shorten it.
