Drove from Philadelphia. It is a family run coffee roaster and shop. That Sunday they did not have drip. And they do not do Pour Over coffee. So I asked them about the espresso. The owner himself stepped forward with the big smile and started answering my questions. He was very forthcoming with all my queries. He said that his roast profile on the espresso is on the bolder side rather than light. And it was a blend and not a single origin. For those of you who know me from my Instagram, I have historically preferred light roasts. I decided to go forward and order an espresso. He shared his brew ratio: 18 grams in and 29 grams out. That is a 1:1.6 ratio that sounded closer to an Italian ristretto. And they were pulling it at a conventional 9 bars of pressure in 30 seconds. I was truly intrigued.
When I tasted their espresso, I was very pleasantly surprised. It did not taste like a dark roast at all for me. It was fruity with a generous dose of acidity. Not a hint of bitterness. I was revelling in that coffee. It was a very modern espresso. Whatever Kozy Beans were doing to their roast profiles, they were doing it right.
I bought a bag of their blend. Tried out at home with a modern ratio, 1:4, 6 bar in 20 seconds. It came out pretty good but not as good as I tasted it at their store. I would likely change my brew recipe closer to what they are doing and see.
Loved what they are doing with coffee. Also loved the way they interact with customers. Always smiling, happy to help, eager to answer questions and pretty darn amazing coffee. The ambiance is wonderful.
Highly recommend to anybody looking for very good speciality coffee.
Unfortunately our 2nd visit a few days later wasnt pleasant at all!!! Different staff working and unhelpful. I ordered the SAME EXACT BEVERAGE and it was NOT the same is ended up throwing it away (cookies and cream latte). No cookie crumble on top and when i asked I was told we dont have that. Ideally it should have been stated it wouldn’t be as listed because there were no items. They only had enough cold brew for a small and were unable and unconcerned with providing alternative suggestions. Overall consistency is key we understand the challenges of small business and hope things will get better!! Looking forward to another visit for a GREAT EXPERIENCE our next trip to Maryland!
Plenty of pastries as well.
