How to Brew It
-
Espresso: The flagship use case. Start at 1:2 ratio (18g in, 36g out) in 28–32 seconds. Builds a thick, persistent crema. Especially well-suited to cappuccinos and lattes — the almond and chocolate sing in milk.
-
Drip / pourover: Brews cleanly with classic Italian-roast character. Try a 1:16 ratio. Pairs well with cream.
-
French press / cold brew: Excellent body. 1:15 hot, 1:8 concentrate for cold brew.

Why we carry Zolo
We've been working with Dave and Nick at Zolo Coffee since early 2020 — neighbors who supported each other through the pandemic and have been collaborating on machines and customers ever since. They roast a few blocks from our shop, and we share the same priorities: coffee worth drinking, machines that run right, and treating people well.
