Works well with bambino plus

Read about lighter espresso blends not working so well in sage machines so have stuck with the Nova until recently. Gave workhorse a go and it came out really well, think this will be my new go to

Workhorse & Decaf Beans

I discovered both of these during lockdown from the only local cafe that remained open at this time. I love both and now order these directly via subscription and the service and flexibility is great. In my opinion these are the best beans you can get!
