Eiland Coffee: A New Favorite
I recently discovered a coffee shop called Eiland that roasts its own beans, and I was impressed by the quality of their espresso. While it had a bit of bitterness, I found it to be significantly better than many other shops I've tried in Dallas.
Tasting Notes
- Espresso Quality: The espresso's bitterness indicates potential over-extraction, which could be due to several factors:
- Grind Size: If the beans are too finely ground, it can lead to over-extraction.
- Water Volume: Using too much water can dilute the flavor, affecting the overall taste.
- Water Temperature: If the water is too hot, it can extract undesirable flavors.
- Extraction Time: A pour time of 45 seconds is on the longer side and may contribute to the bitterness.
Despite the slight bitterness, Eiland's espresso stands out for its overall flavor profile. I'm excited to explore more of their offerings and see how they stack up against other local coffee spots!
