I've been getting my coffee from Beat for a while now. They've been incredibly consistent. But as a creature of habit I usually stick to the same (Nicaragua) beans, which are really nice. I decided to try all the coffee they have on offer and opened the Brazil BOM today. Firstly, the smell was great and you could sense the subtle roasted caramel and honey tones. I ground 18.3g (grind size 4 on the Breville dynamic duo), and prepared the puck. I noticed my shot was pulling very well, with a nice consistent flow yielding about 40mL in 20 seconds. This was better than anything I'd previously pulled. The smell of the shot, and then the taste was amazing!!! No bitterness or sourness, and wonderfully smooth. Just absolutely perfect for my humble home setup giving me a great sense of gratitude and appreciation. Thank you.
