el carmen is a washed colombian espresso roasted by machina coffee for their marchmont cafe. the washed process removes the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner cup with well-defined acidity and clarity in the flavour profile. roasted for espresso, it suits a traditional shot pulled on a machine or a stovetop moka pot. if you prefer filter, expect it to behave a little differently, brewing it as espresso first will give you the most accurate read on what the roaster intended.
