This coffee was processed at the Divisadero micro-mill located on Finca Villa Gallicia, one of Moe’s other nearby farms. Using the honey method of processing where trace amounts of the fruit mucilage are left to dry on the beans, Moe achieved sweet and balanced flavors that don’t overpower the inherent qualities of the Bourbon variety. The beans were placed on raised beds to slow dry on an area of the farm that receives a constant cool breeze, slowing down the drying process and increasing the intensity of the coffee’s flavor.

While there are many variables that contribute to dialing in espresso, here are the parameters that have been yielding the best results in our lab:
19 grams in, 45 grams out, 30 seconds
