I should have written this review before. Everything about Zoka is 5 stars. If you haven't tried the Espresso Paladino, do. With our set up, in the first few days we pull shots with some almost blueberry fruity notes and into the second week post roast it takes on a lovely nutty rich flavor, always with a great mouth feel.
More than that, as much as I love to buy local, I wasted a lot of time checking back into my local roaster day after day waiting for espresso, and in the meantime, no coffee at my house! Zoka's subscription service is unmatched. Our coffee arrives every two weeks, Zoka checks in to make sure we want the new shipment before it ships, and if we're going out of town we just hit pause until we are coming home. They communicate via text and email which I love because let's be honest, emails are easy to overlook these days. Other subscriptions seem to rely on you forgetting you've subscribed and charging you anyway. Not Zoka, their communication is perfect.
If you haven't tried their espresso do. I served it as a barista for 3 years, and now I drink it every day in my home. It is excellent.
Thanks for all you do!
