Peaberry espresso — the crema alone justifies the price
I was hesitant about the peaberry premium. After pulling my first shot I understood completely. The crema is thick, tiger-striped, and lasts in the cup. The espresso itself has a sweetness that my standard lots cannot match — a round, almost nutty richness. At this quality level the price difference from commodity espresso is not a premium; it is a bargain.
