Very tasty

It had very nice flavor, and good acidity that wasn’t overwhelming. Would definitely buy again when I’m in the mood for a light roast espresso. I pulled my 1:3 shot using the blooming espresso profile on my Decent, and used a paper filter on top to soften the blow of water on the puck. I got a nice, rounded shot of espresso that tasted good on its own. A 17g dose at setting 8.5 on the Niche, water at 95c, output was 51g

This coffee is excellent. I'm not great a describing tasting notes and such, but I can tell you that it's delicious, and you will not want to go back.

Beans were dried out and not properly roasted

Ordered three different bags of beans. They were all dried out and hard. Not properly roasted. None were drinkable.
