      My new No. 1

      I like a Flat White which I prefer with oat milk and a spoon of soft brown sugar. Made using my Rancilio Silva. Brazilian Santos (still excellent) has been relegated to No.2 for my taste.
      The Zombo is bright and quite unique. Its’ acidity IMHO lend themselves well to a milky coffee however and I do also enjoy the odd long-black and again the Zombo shines. Perhaps there is another coffee out there which will buy for the position of number one but until then I’ll keep enjoying this and do hardly recommend it. The wife and I (but mostly me) go through about 2 kg per month so I usually take about 1.5 kg of this and 500 g of the Brazilian Santos

      As an espresso - too much acidity for my taste

      I experimented with grind size and water temperature. I got great texture and mouth feel but the taste was too acidic for me at every stage of the dial in process. I accept that it is easier to get good espresso with darker roasts so I will update this review once I have tried moka pot and Aeropress

      Not for me

      I used this in a DeLonghi bean to cup machine and found the output to be burnt, tart and lacking complexity. Another person, who uses an Aero Press tells me that he finds it quite the reverse.
