Robusta Coffees for Home Roast Espresso Blends (#)

  „This lot is from the Cannoncadoo Estate and was judged the Best Robusta from the Coorg State in the India Fine Cup competition in 2004. The farm is situated at 3,770 feet and processed using the traditional wet-process methods used on many arabica coffees. I would use this in an espresso blend between 10-25% (more than I would normally put, but this is an exceptional robusta). This coffee, like other robusta, adds rich-colored crema to the espresso cup, but also has great flavor attributes that you will not find in common arabicas; it actually has a very sharp chocolate aroma with sweet hints, and a dark-roasted nut character that reflects the level of roast you choose (I prefered 455-460 probed bean temp, a light Vienna roast of Full City ++).“
