Thank you, this stuff is so fucking good and it’s nice to be supporting a good cause :party-cat:

Got me thinking of saving for a manual espresso machine as I’ve only got pour over stuff right now!

    Usually you'd want a medium roast for espresso, or at least that's the default. I'd say that Zapatista is a medium roast, though.

      I'm not a huge fan of dark so that's actually good news to me. I wonder why I thought espresso was one of the darkest roasts.

        Espresso is usually very strong and visually is dark, so maybe that's it!

        Espreseo is actually a preparation method and you can use any roast with it according to your preferences. Though ages ago when I had a DIY machine, there was a dramatic quality difference when I used different beans and I never really figured out what made the difference. Just that there was one and that buying the same beans as a good local cafe made a huge difference.
