MILK CHOCOLATE   l   MEYER LEMON   l   CARAMEL

When we developed our first espresso we were determined to highlight the things we loved about the flavor and consistency of espresso - bitterness, acidity, and sweetness.

When brewed correctly, there should be a perfect balance between all three of those flavors. So to get it right, heres how to brew:

Espresso

• 20g espresso
• 27-30 second brew time
• 50g espresso out

The flavor should be well balanced with 'blooming brightness', as one of our colleagues likes to say, and a slightly bitter finish. Texturally, we are aiming for a silky, velvety espresso shot. If you have all these components down, you've brewed a great shot.

We recommend this espresso to be enjoyed on its own. When paired with milk, the espresso gets lost and the flavor notes taste duller.

Kalita Wave

• Water @ 205°F
• 22.5g espresso
• 360g water
• 3 min brew time

When brewed with the Kalita Wave, the espresso morphs into something entirely new. It becomes a bit more delicate, with a crisp black tea and sweet honey taste.
