UPDATE:
Due to the Monday Bank Holiday and a recent postal strike in our area (We’re not loving Royal Mail at the moment…) Some of you will experience delays in receiving Juice (and probably also September’s subscription coffee.) Given that Juice will benefit from a weeks rest before it’s brewed as espresso, the delay should hopefully not interfere with the quality of the shots, so we apologize for the wait, and hope you’ll enjoy it once it finally reaches you!
We’ve put some brewing instructions on the bag for everyone who bought some of the Juice Espresso blend. However we wanted a central place where people could discuss the coffee, and perhaps share their experiences and brew recipes. We can’t anticipate every combination of machine and grinder, and only really share what worked well for us.
So ask any questions, tell us what you think, and hopefully just plain enjoy the blend!

[...] year we created a fun espresso blend called Juice. This year we’re doing a one-off roast of a blend we are calling Sweet [...]
Square Mile Coffee Blog » Limited Edition Espresso: Sweet Shop added these pithy words on Aug 19 10 at 4:09 pmUsing a mahlkoenig grind on demand and a Lamazzocco we got some good blackcurrant jam notes with molasses. Sweet, sweet coffee. we tried it as a cappuccino just as an experiment, but there was just too much of a contrast. beautiful espresso though. Tasted best as it cooled slightly. Yummity yum.
1st pull was off but second deliveed 48ml in 28sec and was really special – got real hot orange juice and lots of pleasure – why does this have to be one off?
Really quite surprised at postal service and customs, nine days off the roast from London to Australia, wow. Juice featured at our cafes first barista “spro-down” most agreed with yellow grapefruit in the cup. Cheers
Using French Press I got some great strawberry jam notes, but as an espresso belnd, a bit too dark for cafetiere. By using new flashy Mazzer Robur grinder and LaMarzocco I managed to pull a few great shots. Juicy, sweet, complex, maybe even a bit of spices. Great espresso, just something I love. Thank you. Hope you keep doing these one-offs!
