Note about water hardness
Using hard water will ruin your espresso machine. Soft water no higher than 50ppm is required to keep your espresso machine running for the long term. Using hard water will void the warranty.
Colombia Nariño Aponte - Royal Reserva Honey
CUP PROFILE: Blackberry, Fruit Punch, Expressive
Loud and lively, this coffee greets you with a bold citrus and floral aroma that sets the tone for an adventurous cup. When hot, it boasts a delightful texture reminiscent of melted candy, with flavors of blackberry, mixed berries, and a pop of lemon brightness balanced by a tea-like dryness. As it warms, the dryness mellows, allowing the aroma to truly shine—light, delicate, yet vibrant and expressive.
Brewed with our AeroPress, the cup reveals fruity citrus and floral notes in its wet aroma, underscored by sweet citrus, blackberry, and a subtle "coffee cherry" essence.
As it cools, the coffee evolves into something truly special: a harmonious blend of soft peach and coffee cherry seed base, with juicy fruit cocktail sweetness and a lingering floral finish. Smooth, sweet, and effortlessly drinkable.
Most coffees from Colombia are processed using the traditional washed method. This lot, however, goes through a more complex honey process that involves leaving the bean to dry in its mucilage for 20-45 days, using the heavy, cold winds of the region to help promote an even drying process. The producers of this region, an indigenous community called the Inga, were part of the northernmost Inca empire, which colonized the south of Colombia in the late 14th century. Land here is communal, and the population is ruled by a “cabildo” or group of elders who make sure ancestral traditions are upheld. The population of this area have unfortunately been affected by earthquakes in recent years and have turned to specialty coffee to help produce income for the region.
Resting Suggestions:
For drip brewing, allow 14 days from the roast date for optimal flavor. For espresso, we recommend resting 2-3 weeks. However, if you're running low on coffee, feel free to brew it sooner!
Roast Level:

★★★★★Beverly BGreat Service! It has been a few months since I purchased my machine, but I absolutely love it. Initially I had some issues with damage from shipping, but Joe took care of it immediately so there were no problems. He also stayed on the phone with me for a long time the day I received my machine so I could get everything working properly. I highly recommend!

Frankly, we haven’t figured it out just yet! But I am looking forward to it. That shipping was very fast and the set up was Simple. Now the Down and Dirty! Sip On!
This scale paired perfectly with my Wendougee Data S. It paired up via Bluetooth so easily and now flawlessly stops my shots at my determined weight. The scale is built a premium materials and just feels so nice. It also looks amazing on your machines drip tray. I love that you can see through the top and how responsive the scale is. It’s a fun scale to use and should definitely hold up over time. Espresso Outlet also never disappoints with their shipping speed and support!
Great little grinder. I get little to no retention after putting 3 bags of beans through it.
The Df64 gen 2 is a lot better than my old Rancilio Rocky that it's replacing. My espresso taste much better now.
I'm very satisfied with the service from Espresso Outlet.

Purchased a new unit with the DLC Burrs. I’ve changed out the cup holder with a shaker holder off Etsy and it’s working out great. Nice and quiet, sleek looking machine. Shipping was fast, have not had any issues thus far. Would recommend for anyone in the price range. The upgrades and changes have really tightened this machine up to have a huge bang for the buck. Not sure you can find anything that will match it at the price.
The roaster comes in very sturdy packaging and the installation of the heating element was easy. The purchase was very straightforward and it arrived on time. So overall, great experience. I hope to be able to buy a larger roaster in the future.
I am impressed with this machine. I’ve had several prosumer machines and this thing is by far the best I’ve had! The possibilities are endless. The build quality is great and the support from Espresso Outlet is second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a high end home espresso machine!
I'm absolutely loving my cf64v. It's much more quiet than my last grinder, easier to dial in and stay consistent, and has practically zero grind retention. I don't have any complaints at all with this grinder. Espresso outlet ships fast and has the best customer service.
