Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Sweetly nut-toned, crisply chocolaty. Almond brittle, baking chocolate, dried plum, orange zest, oak in aroma and small cup. Lightly satiny mouthfeel; nutty, cocoa-toned finish with a backgrounded oak suggestion. In cappuccino-scaled milk, sweet almond and crisp chocolate notes vie for center stage.
Notes
A blend of coffees from Central and South America roasted for espresso. Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in Portland. For more information, visit www.coffeebydesign.com.
Bottom Line
A balanced, sweet-toned espresso blend roasted to just before second crack — richly and sweetly developed but without explicit roast notes.
