Why we bought it
The darkest thing we make and the bottom of the ramp — 211 °C, two minutes and twenty-two seconds after the crack, and not a second past it. There is no second crack in this coffee and there never will be; we stop short of it deliberately, because the oils that come out at second crack go stale in a fortnight. Sweet, heavy, and the one that works in a cafetière.
