The Beans

The Brew 
V60 
18g of Coffee
250ml of Water
3 Minute 30 Seconds Total Brew Time
30ml bloom for 30 seconds, minor agitation 



This brew came out super fruity, think more citrus and berries more than sour, fresh fruits. It was incredibly delicious with every sip. It had some really gorgeous subtle floral notes, which really rounded the coffee together. The taste notes for this coffee are pretty spot on, like a few of Kiss The Hippos coffees I've tried, they really do produce some incredibly roasted coffees.

Machina Coffee

"We are an Edinburgh based specialist coffee roastery and equipment business, started through a love of great coffee and a fascination with quality kit.
The creation of Machina was inspired by Edinburgh's artisan coffee scene, which has exploded in the last 10 years along with inspiring visits to San Francisco, LA, Washington, Tokyo and London.

Since 2016 we have been roasting coffee in South Edinburgh. We take a innovative and creative approach to our roasting. Coaxing complex and unique flavours from coffees from the best microlots in the world. The bold and unusual tasting notes on our coffee bags reflect this, along with the amazing diversity of sensory experience that great coffees can deliver."

This coffee was incredibly crisp and bright. Super smooth with next to no acidity, super chocolatey and when it cools you get more crisp fruit notes with some subtle acidity.
This coffee was super delicious every way that it was brewed, I loved how like Kiss The Hippo the taste notes were spot on.
