Today is the second of the two Nabob S.O. coffee's i bought  this one from Guatemala. 

Prep method:  Espresso  12.5g 

Grinder setting: 4 clicks 

Pull:  Really slow  machine struggled to even pull a half shot.  

Taste: WHACK! in the face but not overly bitter just extremely strong.  

2nd attempt 

Grinder: 5 clicks 

Shot: Nice crema proper speed. 

Taste Berry citrus that melds into a light smokey cocoa medium acidity and medium body. 

Thoughts:  works well as a espresso shot.
