  • Chocolatey, nutty and smooth. This coffee sees a little more development in the roaster to minimize the acidity, hone in on the body and act like a warm hug. Currently 50% Rugali Washed Bourbon, Rwanda and 50% La Casona de Doña Lina, Honey Catuai, Costa Rica.

    Recommended Recipe as Espresso: 
    18 grams, 30-32 seconds, 40 gram extraction
    Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate, Mixed Nuts, Smooth
     
     

    Our current offering for Tipping Point is a blend of two coffees. We've profiled these two coffees separately and blended them post-roast. Our intention is to match density and bean sizing so they extract at even rates, bringing you the most flavour clear cup of coffee.

    The first coffee is from a mill in Southwestern Rwanda called Rugali. It's the second year we've purchased coffee from Rugali and we couldn't be more happy. In 2018, they had an amazing crop for both production quantity and quality. Producing beautiful washed Bourbons which they're paying premiums to nearby farmers in their region of Nyamasheke.

    The second coffee comes from a long time relationship in Costa Rica, with the Solis Family. We've visited Roger and his family every year since 2015 and we're constantly happy with the coffee they're producing. Currently available on the menu as a single origin offering.

Easy to dial in

This espresso has a bit of the traditional espresso profile but is remarkably easy to dial in. I’ve been pulling it around 1:2 over 30-40 seconds and it’s been consistently good.

Hit the spot

A great choice that I kept on hand for guests who like darker roasts than myself and less acidity. Got lots of compliments from drinkers!

I was expecting "comfort coffee" that was warm, round, buttery, nutty and chocolatey. I found this incredibly bitter and not my first choice in the morning. Not my cup of (pour over) coffee - maybe better suited for espresso? I added milk to round out the flavour but would not purchase again.

Good value coffee at a good price. No bells and whistles here. A great, albeit acidic, caffeine kick
