Smiley 1972 Blend

The Colombian-Ethiopian blend pulls a really clean shot with just enough brightness to keep it interesting. I've been drinking it black all week and it holds up as filter too, which is rare for something dialed for espresso.

Pulled a shot this morning and the crema was gorgeous, but what really got me is how smooth it stays as a pour-over too. The Colombian and Ethiopian combo gives it a nice balance that I wasn't expecting from one bag.

Made a flat white and a V60 with the same bag, and it held up nicely in both, which is rare for a blend. The Ethiopian side gives it a subtle brightness that keeps the espresso from feeling heavy, though I wish the crema lingered just a bit longer. Solid everyday option if you switch between brew me
