Taste is subjective, but there is in most people’s minds a quality to coffee that can be agreed upon. Strength might be quantified on supermarket packets, but that only tells half the story. Flavour is key. Flavour without strength is disappointing, whereas strength without flavour does not tick the essential box for drinkability.
The smooth flavour has been achieved with my new coffee maker, but the espresso lacks the intensity of strength that I crave as a hardened caffeine addict. I will try just using M&S Italian Roast when I next have to refill the grinder.
Don’t get me wrong, I am drinking at least two cups at home these days before I head off to work. The lack of kick might be sensible if I want to remain calm on the highway, but I will not rest easy until the results are optimised…there is a perfect espresso within my grasp and I’ve got to have it!
