Finally pulled a shot this morning and the fruit-forward sweetness really came through, even with my basic machine. This Yirgacheffe lot is perfect for espresso — there's a brightness that cuts through milk drinks beautifully. Glad it's back for the season.

The fruit-forward profile in this lot really comes through in the espresso—sweet and bright, not at all bitter. I’ve been pulling shots every morning since it arrived and the crema is consistently thick. Definitely a seasonal standout.
