Interval Espresso

Tasting notes

In the roaster’s words

It's no secret we enjoy roasting on the lighter end of the spectrum. Buying sweet coffees and trying not to get in the way, we're always cautious to add more flavours of the roaster than we feel strictly necessary. But we've always had the plan to release one final core coffee, completing the set from Lightest, Light, Medium and now, finally, Heavy . This espresso is profiled entirely with classic & easy styles of brewing in mind (and especially for those that like milk in their coffee). A percentage of all Interval Espresso sales will be donated to the Jerwood Space, a not-for-profit that subsidises rehearsal space for emerging theatre producers, writers, directors, choreographers and companies. By purchasing this espresso, you are directly helping the next generation of theatre practitioners access affordable, dedicated space to create their work. Brew Guide: Best Brewed with: Espresso, Moka Pot, French Press Best rested: Ideally at least 1-2 weeks before brewing as espresso We profile and quality control this blend to produce a solid shot around 18g of coffee in for 32-36g coffee out, in 25 seconds - easy peasy.

New Purchasing Relationship The Story: We've talked before about the trilemma of green buying : out of cheap, ethical, high quality, you can only pick two. With this range we want to focus on coffees that are affordable for a mainline espresso and put ethics front and centre, without holding them to the same quality bar that defines the rest of the range. It's always been a bug-bear of ours that speciality roasters will champion impact and social good, then only sweep in for 2 bags of the top microlot while leaving bulk production to the side, literally skimming the cream of the crop.
