Five
Stars!
Why?
Read
on...
I
take
my
time
choosing
the
roaster
to
indulge
in
a
good
espresso.
I
was
in
the
area
and
went
to
Penstock.
Vincent
was
my
barista,
humble
and
down
to
earth.
He
enticed
me
enough
to
try
the
natural
process
Ethiopian
for
the
espresso.
What
I
liked
about
them
is
that
they
have
dialled
in
espressos
for
multiple
coffees
which
is
a
great
thing.
It
gives
you
an
option
of
trying
out
something
other
than
the
house
blend
for
your
espresso.
They
charged
me
$6.00
for
my
single
origin
choice
for
espresso.
But
keep
reading.
I
liked
Vincent's
puck
preparation.
He
even
improvised
a
WDT
to
break
even
and
distribute
the
grind
in
the
portafilter.
Rarely
do
I
see
coffeeshops
use
a
bottomless
portafilter.
But
Penstock
does.
Speaks
volumes
about
their
confidence.
There
was
a
little
bit
of
channelling
while
he
pulled
the
shot.
But
the
espresso
turned
out
delicious.
Sweetness
and
acidity
well
balanced.
Quite
fruity
and
a
lingering
mild
aftertaste
of
milk
chocolate
(just
me?).
The
roasters
are
doing
a
great
job
and
so
is
the
barista.
Highly
recommend
Penstock.
Next
time
I'm
here,
I
will
ask
them
for
a
Pour
Over.
Currently
they
are
using
a
Kalita
to
brew
their
Pour
Over
coffees.
And
I
want
to
definitely
try
their
Pour
Over
skills!
