Espresso Brewing for Rwanda Coffees

Coffees from Rwanda are usually high weight with a long aftertaste.

This one in particular is pleasent and the body less heavy with a medium weight, which is smooth and velvety.  

When calibrating your espresso shot, make sure you bring out a medium to high acidity. A shorter extraction time is recommended. The coffee beans are also bigger than a ie. a bourbon variety -´ and sometimes they have a tendency to jump in the grinder during the grinding process depending on your grinder. 

- so make sure your grinder is filled with a little bit more than usual. I always recommend as little as possible. But in this case, you want to maintain a homogeneous gravity when the beans get in contact with your burrs.
