Daterra Espresso, 250g

The crema on this one is thick and lasts long enough to enjoy the whole cup. That chocolate and hazelnut note comes through exactly as described, making it a really smooth daily driver for my morning shots.

I’ve been dialing this in on my espresso machine for two weeks now, and the chocolate and hazelnut notes are unmistakable, even in a cortado. The body is genuinely creamy, not just on the label, and it steams beautifully without turning bitter when I push the ratio.

The crema on this is exactly what I want from a Brazilian single-origin—thick and golden, and it holds up beautifully in a cortado. The chocolate notes come through especially strong once it cools a bit, and the 250g bag lasted me about two weeks of daily shots.
