Cafe La Llave (Key) Aeropress Review


Preperation:
Inverted Aeropress
2 min brew time with a 30 second bloom before brew and 30 second plunge starting @ 1:30.
Water temp: 195 F

Aroma: Can't smell it
Taste Fruity (Lemony notes)
Body: Buterly

Apparently a cuban coffee : http://www.amazon.com/Cafe-Llave-Ground-Espresso-Coffee/dp/B001RK3NDI

Not Bad overall I enjoy drinking it. Nice even lukewarm and cold.

  1. I found no need for a bloom time with llave, I don't really know how you can't smell the soft, caramel aroma. You're spot on about the lemony notes, but there is definitely a caramel tone if you don't over-extract.

    Try stopping as soon as you hear the air and adjusting your push time for the air sound. I find the "foam" pulls too much bitterness for something that doesn't even last in the cup.
