마로마스 에티오피아 시다모 싱글 오리진 에스프레소

The city roast brings out such a clean, floral sweetness that my usual milk drinks finally taste balanced without any bitterness. Pulled a double this morning and the crema was thick and golden.

The first thing I noticed was the smooth, balanced body—even with a city roast, there’s no harsh bitterness. Pulling a shot this morning, the crema was thick and the flavor stayed clean from start to finish. These beans from that 2,100 m altitude really deliver a mellow, satisfying espresso.

I've been pulling shots with this single origin for a week now and the balanced body holds up nicely even in milk drinks. The city roast level lets the bean's natural character come through without any bitterness. Only wish the bag had a resealable zipper to keep the rest fresh.
