A word from one of our Waaqa Experts
Flavien
The Donna Espresso Blend is a perfect choice if you like a more traditional coffee flavour of a typical Italian style espresso. This coffee tastes robust and strong with characteristics of deep chocolate, with low acidity and lots of body. But still allowing the unique characteristics of our seasonal coffees to shine through with hints of roasted nuts & smokiness. It goes perfecty with milk and particularly shines brewed as espresso using a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:2 for a full bodied cup.
