SWASLU
... Inexorable Espresso Evolution ...
Flavor, not labor, from our espresso cellar!
aka
Swamp Slurry,


pressurized
almost boiling
hot water
manually forced
thru espresso roasted coffee grinds.

That in and of itself is not special,
... unless attention to detail is off the charts. ...
Swaslu re-examined some long held urban legends about espresso & applied as much scientific rigor as one person can stand.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

20 years of being involved in
a Brooklyn coffee shop/theater,
a blackout (2003) and
a hurricane (2012)
got us hooked on
doing espresso manually,

untethered
by an expensive and
often unruly
espresso machine beast.
Along the way we learned to honor the progression of roasting flavor profiles … Flower, Fruit, Nut, Wood, Charcoal, Ash, Burnt Oil.

Espresso is string theory level complicated.

As such we eventually honed in on a process that makes simplifying decisions in our n-dimensional space that do not negatively impact the quality of the final product in seeking to revolve around a documentable process to get excellent taste and to investigate urban espresso legends along the way.
Our research.... is your espresso cellar gain.
