those dancing goats. . .

the always-wonderful mr. right bicycled over to the victory for me and picked up a pound of batdorf's signature dancing goats espresso blend. when he asked for the pound, the proprietress opened a fresh 10 lb. bag of beans for him and noted that she had received this bag just that afternoon. ah -- very fresh coffee, not three days old!

frankly, it takes me a while to go through a whole pound of espresso, so i carefully packaged up most of it all nice and airtight and popped it in the freezer. spare me your emails please -- while i know freezing the coffee isn't ideal, it's often the best method of preservation available to us at home. if only she would sell in 1/2 pound lots. . .

but the effort was certainly worthwhile -- ground at 4 notches to the left the arrow decal on the mazzer mini, and prepared in silvia, the dancing goats delivered a luscious 2 oz. of espresso with a 1/2-inch of pompeii-red crema. almost too nice to pop into the morning cappucino. but we must make sacrifices sometimes, hmm?

the dancing goats blend is delicious in milk, and as a straight espresso. highly recommended.
