Blind Assessment: Sweet, round, complexly and delicately chocolaty. Milk chocolate, honey, floral-toned vanilla, almond in aroma and cup. Soft, backgrounded acidity; very lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates but persists in a long, resonant finish.

Notes: Gamut is Chromatic Coffee’s flagship espresso. It is reviewed here for brewed or non-espresso applications, however. Chromatic prides itself in doing everything in-house and meticulously, from printing its attractive bags to modifying equipment to sourcing and roasting its fine coffees.

Who Should Drink It: Those many coffee drinkers who enjoy a round, gently complex, sweetly chocolaty cup.
