Eisode 11 of Blend Friends! Two roasteries share tasting notes, and blend two interesting coffees into something neither could make alone. The final recipe is then produced in a very limited batch for coffee fans following the project. Colombia Las Flores Caturra Chiroso, washed anaerobic, brings punchy fermented funk and bright acidity. A natural Honduras rounds it out with ripe, syrupy sweetness and body. Together they make a cup that's complex and a little wild, funky up front with a smooth, fruit forward finish.
OddKin are small independent roastery based in Bristol with one simple mission: make exceptional coffee for everyone and anyone.
They source high-quality speciality coffee through direct trade relationships wherever possible, working with people who care just as much about the coffee as they do. They believe incredible coffee starts with incredible producers, and that great sourcing, fair relationships and transparency should be the standard.

Dialing in Espresso
What you'll need:
18g Coffee (Fine Grind)
Espresso Machine
Digital Scales
Coffee Grinder
The Golden Ratio:
For espresso, you'll normally see a 1:2 ratio. A double shot of espresso will commonly require 18g of finely-ground coffee, giving you 36g of espresso. The total shot time should be between 25-30 seconds.
Top Tips:
- Evenly distribute your ground coffee when it's in your portafilter.
- When you tamping your coffee, ensure your press hard and flat.
Dialing in:
If your espresso is running through too fast (under 25 seconds) then adjust your grind size to finer. If it's running through too slowly, make your grinds coarser, allowing the water to run through faster.
