Ozone Paramount BlendBlendCoffees from multiple origins roasted or mixed together for a consistent, balanced profile year-round — the traditional backbone of espresso menus. Paramount is our carefully developed answer to a darker roasting profile – rich, smooth, and full of character. It shines as espresso with a depth of flavour that holds its own in milk-based drinks, but don't overlook it as a filter brew either. For those who enjoy something with a bit more weight and depth in the cup, it delivers. 80% Brazil: Selvatech, PeaberryPeaberryA cherry that grows one round seed instead of the usual two flat-sided ones. Sorted and sold separately; some claim it cups brighter and more concentrated., NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. 20% Costa Rica: Atenas, WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. The dark sweetness of toffee and a dusting of cacao nibs up front, finishing long on dark chocolate .

Brew Recipe Recommended Brew Recipe Dose: 17g Time: 25 – 30 secs Yield: 34g (we recommend this as a starting point that we enjoy, tweak to personal taste) RestingRoast date / restingSpecialty bags carry the roast date, not a best-before. Coffee needs days to degas CO₂ after roasting ('resting') and is typically best within weeks, not months. Recommendation We recommend a minimum 7-day rest after the date of roasting before brewing this coffee as espresso, but there's a lot of personal preference in that. So, by all means, please brew whenever you like!
