Pivot

Pivot is sourced with experimentation in mind. Fruit forward and always exciting, Pivot is single-origin espresso as it should be. It’s also perfect for pivoting between different brew methods - fantastic as an adventurous espresso, but just as great as pour over or in a cafetière.

This year’s first iteration of Pivot is from the Lalesa site, part of Ephtah Specialty Coffee. The coffee is naturally grown under shade trees, primarily Ensete (false banana tree) and the best cherries are bought from nearby farmers. Ethiopian coffee production is heavily influenced by the country's three main seasons. By the end of September, the rains cease abruptly, allowing the coffee fruits to ripen, leading to a bustling harvest period by November. 

Expect tasting notes of mango, citrus fruit, chocolate

Recommended brew methods:
Espresso, Aeropress, stovetop, cold brew, cafetière, filter (V60, Kalita, etc)
