I make only espresso, so fresh coffee beans are important to me. I'd heard of Nossa Familia because a local bakery served Full Cycle. I was looking for options at New Seasons and saw that they had it with an acceptable roast date. At Christmas, I sent Nossa Familia to various relatives, noticing that I got free shipping with 2 bags. So I started ordering my own. Since it comes very fresh, 2 at a time is acceptable (I go through a bag in 6 days). But now the free shipping threshold has gone up to $40 and I don't want to buy 3 bags at once. So considering options, such as driving out to the roastery. Picked up my last bag at the cafe at NW Lovejoy & 13th and got to sample their espresso. Full Cycle makes great espresso. Ideal balance brightness vs bitterness for my taste. And I find I don't have to modify the grind as much over the 6 days as with some other coffees I've used, to maintain my desired extraction time of 25-30 sec for 30g brewed coffee from 20g ground.
