Update: due to toiletries training the young bloke before heading back to work I haven't had time to roast. So it was with great trepidation that I opened the P& R Raineri. As I did a great waft of aroma washed out of the bag, giving me hope that it wouldn't be a complete washout. The beans ground a little lighter and fluffier than I was expecting, making for a slight up-dosing on the VST basket. As KK has pointed out before, the Bezzera's are a bit sensitive to dose and you generally need to go lower rather than risk overdosing. As it turned out this is the bean that you can't stuff up. Every shot from the very first has resulted in tight, thick ristrettos with a medium body and nice overall balance and the right amount of brightness for me. I'd have no problems getting more of these.
