Ripe red cherries are carefully handpicked and sun-dried, thereby ensuring that only the best coffee beans get sent to the Julius Meinl roasting plant. Gentle roasting develops exquisite and rich flavors. Ser ved black or with cream, this coffee has a fine aroma and full body. www.meinlus.com THE ESSENTIAL GRINDER Compak welcomes the newest addition to the Essential line family: the E5. Don't let its diminutive size fool you—this truly commercial- grade model can blast through 7 grams of coffee in 2.5 seconds. With an emphasis on quality and durability, the E5's cast-aluminum body, polished chrome accents, and robust contact points leave plastic- covered competitors in the dust. The E5 is ideal for multiroaster bars, lower-volume usage, and grinding for pourovers. www.compakgrinders.com & www.compak.es 41 www.baristamagazine.com
