Description About Espresso Republic - Dark Star Espresso
Espresso Republic's take on a darker, richer espresso– it is sweet and syrupy with an incredible mouth feel that reminds you of grandma's fudge. Decadent and rich, this blend is everything you want for a classic espresso. While delicious as brewed coffee, it really shines as a fudge-like ristretto shot or paired with some perfectly frothed milk! Enjoy it with your favorite pastry or dessert for a special treat.

Recommended Brew Methods
A 2:1 water-to-coffee ratio for your espresso shot is recommended. Using a scale to dial in your shots makes the process faster and more accurate. Your espresso grind should be very fine and powdery. Shots should take 30-40 seconds to brew and be thick and syrupy. Don’t stress, adjustments are always needed to get your shots pulling just right!

Superautos make brewing espresso easy. All you need to do is add beans to the hopper and press a button to pull yourself a shot. If your shot is a bit sour you’ll want to dial the grinder a little bit finer and try again. If it’s bitter, dial it a little coarser. You can find instructions on how to do this for your machine in the manual. Just remember to avoid oily beans that can clog your superauto’s grinder!
