Two months in a row? Yes. Another five-star coffee from Verve.

| Brew Method | Grind Setting |
|---|---|
| Espresso | #7 (too watery) |
| Pour Over | #18-19 (22g dose) |
Roasted April 15. Green apples, plum, butterscotch. Golden plum. Roast 2-4.
Still waiting for right grind size. Espresso at 7 was too watery. But still very good.
Pour over 22g at 18-19 turned out well. Total pour time was just under the four minute mark.
Five stars. Even when the espresso ran a little thin, the flavor was there—bright fruit, butterscotch sweetness, clean finish. The pour overs were outstanding. This might be my favorite Verve coffee so far.
Next up: May 2025—an East African that made some of the best cold brew I've ever had at home.
