ETHIOPIA NATURAL MUSTEFA ABAKENO

Please stop killing it, I don't have a big enough coffee shelf.

I'm sipping on this as a small latte right now and I don't know how you guys keep hitting these beautiful light roast profiles that also hold up beautifully as espresso drinks. I first tried this as a pour over, and it is perfect. Clean, juicy, the perfect amount of acidity. Sometimes with those notes you don't always get the best espresso. As I sip on this, I can tell you this pulls beautifully and it holds up to milk while maintaining all its complexity. I'm getting very similar notes to the Mount Ijen roast you guys did for Fellow Drops which is still my most favorite coffee I've had. If this information is interesting for anyone, for the Mount Ijen one, at least Fellow's recommended espresso recipe, they recommended a 36-42 second pull time. I thought this was crazy but when I achieved that the roast had so much more complexity to it than the standard 25-30 second shot. So for this roast I tried to pull a similar timing. In my tasting, the 36-38 second shot tasted a bit over extracted, started to get some unwanted flavors. The sweet spot was around 32 seconds. Long story short, love it.
