Here's how we brewed this bright and fruit-forward light-medium roast from one of San Francisco’s most beloved roasters, Andytown Coffee.
A natural-processed Indonesian coffee that delivers a complex brew with tropical notes of strawberry, rambutan, and red dragonfruit. Pulled through Espresso Series 1, its jammy, juicy flavor opens up beautifully with milk.
Check the brew guide below for the recipe to Andytown’s famous specialty drink Snowy Plover, named after the little coastal bird that nests on the sands of Ocean Beach, San Francisco.

Grind Guidance
Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
