Best brewed with milk, or as a more traditional, medium roast espresso.

Components: 66% Andino, Colombia / 33% La Estrella, Nicaragua
Processes: Washed / Washed

It's straight outta Gosford. Built to be served primarily with milk, Gossy Good Times is just like the streets of its namesake, big, bold and straight up trouble. If you like your coffee a bit darker, with some jammy sweetness, this coffee is for you. Can also be served black if you're looking for a more traditional espresso experience.

As espresso, we'd aim for 21g of coffee, 44-46g of espresso and a 27-31 second extraction. She'll go down great on Stovetop or Plunger too.
