Cracked open the 'Supremo' today, it's a touch too soon after roast, but meh- who can wait.... A touch 'bright'.... But A very satisfying cuppa, all the same. I'm really looking forward to getting amongst these blends.... I've got no hope of trying to 'describe' the flavours, I like. I get the big ones like 'Caramels', but picking fruit flavours- no hope! I try the coffee, first, then read the flavour description and if the description matches my experience, well I'm happy with that and figure I must be getting at least 'in the ballpark', of getting the brew right..... I'm loving the Rossa experience, there is just so much tactile feedback from the device. It can be really simple- which is nice. OTOH, there is so much scope for adjusting variables such as extraction temperature, extraction profile, dose, pre-infusion, length of extraction, volume of extraction, etc, etc, etc...... I'm not suggesting for one second I have a handle on all of this. In fact I'm quite sure one would never truly 'master' the Rossa, more like a concert pianist who spends a lifetime practicing their craft. It's an astonishing device. Incredibly underrated IMHO. In the piano analogy, I have progressed to playing 'chopsticks', but loving every second of it.
