Surprisingly good for a pressurised basket. I think a grind size of 35 clicks on the Kingrinder worked really well. It produced a rich, chocolatey, nutty flavour with almost no acidity and a solid body. It was very pleasant overall and exactly the kind of profile I enjoy. This was the last 9 grams from the bag, and I’m glad I finally brewed it. I probably wouldn’t have tried the pressurised basket if it hadn’t been for the little coffee left, and I’m happy I did.
