Hi Hiphip, re clearance, probably a bit of both - that particular glass does sit up reasonably high too. I left most of the good little ceramic espresso cups I had behind in Aust - will have to get some more next time from Chef's hat when I can get back to Melbourne. Re the pour, yes, that bean was a little unusual for how I remembered Sidamo, and not at all what I was expecting. For a medium roast it was clean / fresh, uncharacteristically quite citrussy with plenty of acidity, and was nice as an espresso but not really suited for milk. I was wondering whether the small bag may have been mis-labeled, as I bought it locally at the same time with some Yirg... Anyway, due for another roast today and I might try some Brasil yellow bourbon or organic. cheers.
