Fellow's Take on Mulu by Prodigal

A punchy combo of washed and natural Ethiopian coffees that pairs the elegance and florality of classic washed coffees with the zippy, ripe fruit we love from naturals.

Prodigal is an ultra-premium micro-roastery based in Colorado, founded by industry heavyweights Scott Rao and Mark Benedetto. They focus exclusively on exceptionally high-scoring green coffees to craft unapologetically light, vibrant, and juicy flavor profiles.

We tasted notes of orange, cran-apple, and cherry.

Note: Let it rest! This coffee should peak at 3 - 4 weeks off of roast.

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!

Tips

Adjust grind size if your shot pulls too fast (grind finer) or too slow (grind coarser)
Clean your Series 1 regularly for optimal performance
