Barrington Coffee, Gold Espresso Blend 12 oz bag, Whole Bean Coffee

Description

Barrington carefully roasts and blends this coffee to bring out the finest qualities of espresso coffee--sweet caramel, chocolate, spice and hints of dried fruit. When properly extracted it yields spectacular crema and a long smooth finish. To attain this perfection, Barrington sources coffees that are naturally very low in acidity and extraordinarily high in body. When the otherwise subtle and delicate flavors of these coffees are concentrated through the high pressure extraction of an espresso machine the qualities are magnified to an essential level. Barrington's proprietary blend includes aged and conditioned coffees from Asia and South America. Espresso Careful bean selection and roasting style are what make Barrington's espresso so exceptional. Heavy bodied, low acid coffees are the core of our blend. Barrington has found that roasting those coffees in the Northern Italian tradition (not too dark) and blending them in proportions which highlight their finest characteristics yields an espresso with irresistible body and flavor. Sure, anyone can make "espresso" but the chances are pretty good that the resulting beverage will leave much to be desired; little to no crema, thin body, a bitter or sour taste. Sound familiar? Fortunately it doesn't have to be that way. However, one must first understand the factors that go into pulling a truly great shot of espresso. They include: * coffee * water * equipment * grind * tamp * extraction Variations in any of these factors can have a dramatic impact on the flavor of your espresso, therefore proper technique is extremely important.
