Review: Whittard Ethiopia Yirgacheffe - ground as espresso.
Very light roast. Slightly too coarse grind as is typical with a light roast but can work around by using a big dose in the Classic. Light flavour with a bit of muscovado but no excessive acid. No lingering aftertaste. Pleasant background bitterness. Small milk drink needed. Not good as espresso, may have needed a bit of water added to reveal the flavour. May have benefited from a longer extraction as James Hoffmann has commented on in the past with lighter roasts.
Overall: would recommend. It’s an approachable light roast and after a couple of cups into the bag I’m not feeling like I’ve got to move on like I do with some light roasts.
