I’ve been in the coffee industry for over a decade, and this Dunn Bros needs to up their training protocol in a real way. Here’s my feedback as an experienced roaster/barista:
My espresso was astringent, suggesting the beans were under-developed during roasting. The smell of the roasting coffee was that of burnt toast, which makes me think they are way over-filling their roaster with raw beans, which would explain the under-developed espresso beans.
The brewed espresso had a thin mouthfeel and a sour taste, suggesting under-extraction during the brewing process. If the espresso brews quickly and has a watery consistency, throw it out, do not serve, that’s a major sign of a low-quality shot. Shot should take no less than 25 seconds to brew, with at least 5 seconds between starting the pull and the shot coming out of the portafilter. There was no crema on top, either, which also suggests under-extraction. I recommend a thinner grind or a harder tamping, or both.
I recommend dialing in the espresso at least weekly, it’s worth the extra time for the higher quality. I would also highly suggest hanging up a flavor wheel and a brewing compass for easy reference.
Finally, this might just be a culture shock thing, but every employee I interacted with was really unfriendly. I’m a Minnesotan, and we’re known for being extremely friendly, especially to patrons of our businesses, so as stated, this could just be a culture shock issue, but it did make for a less-than-pleasant visit.
On my next trip to Hudson, I think I’m going to try to find another coffee shop to visit.
