Espresso with sugar in Sitget

Afbeelding
This weekend I was in Sitget on the coast near Barcelona in Spain and since NO2 capsules cannot be taken aboard airplanes I was unable to bring a Mypressi with me so I had to resort to what was available in the local bars and restaurants for espresso. All of them have excellent grinders and espresso machines but none makes espresso that's drinkable without sugar. An agressively bitter brew, no exceptions. Luckily, a full dose of sugar turns the thick beverage into a sweet and stimulating potion. On 3-4 espressos one can go on all day.

Update 16 March 2022: 1260g in -> 1062g out 1.1 kWh  10 minute roast Doing multiple roasts back-to-back would save much energy since little warmup is needed for batches after the first. In my work flow it's convenient to have just 1-2 boxes with 1kg beans ready, preferably not from the same roast day. So a series of roast batches in one roastign session is not what I need.    ---
