All
The
Way!!!!
From
my
experience,
you're
not
going
to
find
fresh
coffee
in
the
supermarket
any
fresher
roasted
than
maybe
4-6
months.
If
you
are
a
café
aficionado
that's
not
fresh
enough!
I
was
searching
for
a
local
coffee
roaster
and
I
found
it!
My
review
is
about
my
experience
deciding,
purchasing
whole
beans
online
and
making
home
espresso
and
French
Press
with
Fabrica
Coffee.
I
just
purchased
a
DeLonghi
Dedica
EC685
home
espresso
machine
and
upgraded
to
a
bottomless
portafilter.
I’m
building
my
barista
skills
in
the
process
and
coming
from
a
background
of
experiencing
many
local
roasted
and
gourmet
coffees
as
a
personal
hobby.
Think
of
“Blue
Bottle
Coffee”
San
Francisco,
“Pete’s
Coffee”
Berkley,
“Cafe
Ladro”
Seattle
to
name
a
few.
A
few
weeks
ago
I
purchased
the
“Bob-O-Link”
Espresso
and
the
“Kiangoi”
for
French
Press.
The
beans
were
roasted
only
a
few
days
before
I
received.
What
a
treat!!!!!
The
aroma
for
both
is
amazing….wish
there
was
a
candy
bar
made
out
of
those
aromas!
Overall,
I’m
quite
happy
with
the
shopping
and
coffee
buying
experience.
The
coffee
roast
descriptions
are
quite
accurate,
it’s
easy
to
order
and
the
email
communication
is
very
proactive
letting
me
know
about
my
order
every
step
in
the
process.
The
shipping
is
quick
and
prompt.
I
appreciate
the
personalized
greeting
and
discount
coupon.
Now,
I
really
look
forward
to
waking
up
in
the
morning
and
making
an
espresso
or
French
Press.
So
far,
pulling
single
shots,
I
am
using
7
grams
of
espresso
grind
size,
extraction
time
around
26-28
seconds,
aiming
for
30
grams
of
velvety,
aromatic
espresso
with
a
nice
crema!
After
some
practice,
I
ended
up
with
a
more
silky
espresso.
For
me
the
Tasting
notes,
cocoa
and
Carmel.
Amazing!
What
a
treat!
I’ve
only
made
French
Press
twice
with
the
“Kiangoi”
and
need
to
dial
in
my
grind
size
and
coffee
to
water
ratio.
The
first
batch
I
experienced
a
bright,
crisp
flavor
with
citrus,
Carmel
and
dark
chocolate
notes.
Very
nice
and
unique
taste
compared
to
what
I
was
using
from
beans
purchased
at
the
super
market.
It’s
really
enjoyable
to
have
this
kind
of
quality
and
customer
service
here
in
Portugal!
My
tastebuds
are
looking
forward
to
traveling
across
all
the
coffee
regions
as
I
make
a
journey
to
experience
the
variety
of
coffees
you
offer.
I
also
look
forward
to
visiting
your
local
café
in
Cascais
to
experience
it
there
too!
Keep
up
the
excellent
service
and
product!
Kudos
to
your
whole
Fabrica
Coffee
Roaster
Team!!!!
Cafe
aficionado
Muito
Obrigado!
