Aroma and flavours of grapes and cherries.
Winey acidity. Creamy and juicy mouthfeel.

We strongly recommend to use VST filterbaskets. Both the 18g basket and the 22g basket is great for our coffee.
The VST filters makes it a lot easier to extract the espresso properly which gives a lot more sweetness in the cup. They are also more or less identical to eachother which makes it easy to be more consistent when brewing on several groups at the same time.
You can buy the filters here. Just make sure they fit your machine. (Fits all La Marzocco machines and machines with 58mm filter baskets)
With the VST 18 gram filterbasket, we recommend the following brewing parameters:
- 18 – 19 grams freshly ground coffee
- 25 – 30 seconds brewing time
- 27 – 30 grams of final brew liquid in the cup
- 93°C – 94°C brew water temperature
