The cup exhibits - good body and a rich base with some sweet nuttiness - underlying fruity acidity and a lovely true rounded finish.
Gone for Lunch is a twist on an old blend.
We’ve widened out the base (Sumatra Aceh Tengah Organic) 45% to give a little more body / richness to the blend, kept the Brazilian (Fazenda Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Organic) at 25%, still bringing in some background nuttiness, moved the Guatemala (Guatemala - Pasajquim Organic) up by 5% to increase the bright/sharp sweetness. Nice true rounded finish.
Brewing Notes: the espresso brewing system used, the number brewing parameters and methods employed pulling an espresso shot will have an influence on the coffee's flavour and mouthfeel.
We provide brewing benchmarks or brewing range indicators to all of our espresso blends to provide as much data as possible to gain the highest degree of consistency from the roastrey cupped shot to the baristas shot. These benchmarks and/or brewing range indicators are just that – all they do is suggest what to be looking for to get near to the roastery cupping shot as possible.
Where a brewing temperature and/or a shot time is not indicated in the notes it will be our standard set-up: - we use La Marzocco GB5 set at a temperture of 93.33C (200f) with a shot time of 23-26 seconds as from the first drop appearing from the portafilter. We dose our portafilters by levelling which is usually 18-19g of coffee per double shot.
Roasting Information:
We place espresso quality way before convenience - our espresso blends are never pre-blended before roasting thus ensuring the ideal roast profile is reached for each varietal used in a blend.

Kate Wicken | 07/12/2011Gary - it was nice to meet with you and team last week. I guess we were doing it all wrong, thanks for sorting out our espresso machine, oh by the way, love the coffee.
Robin Prior | 01/12/2011I had this blend in Urban Kitchen last week and bought some to take home - no matter how I throw this blend through my machine it never pulls a bad shot of espresso. I have sampled a lot of others, but will defiantly buy this one again. For a well rounded but complex espresso you can’t go wrong with this baby.
Sarah Beanny | 23/11/2011Have bean drinking your 6am and had to try GFL upon reading other customer comments. Very different to 6am, but I'm loving it. And thanks for your help re grind.
Kitty Davids | 29/09/2011Gary and the team - thanks for the coffee tasting the other evening - we all enjoyed it, espresso to die for - just FAB. New grinder arrived yesterday, many thanks....
