UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION

Since the beginning our purpose has been to rapidly distribute the espresso bed with vibrations which revealed themselves to be exceptional, delicious, even, repeatable, effortless, delectible. We quickly discovered no other steps are necessary with this kind of preparation.

​
TAMP AND DISTRIBUTE

Initially distribution was the goal, but eventually we discovered that you could tamp while distributing and the results have just been phenomenal and we've been Tamping on Squid ever since.

​

LAYERED SHOTS

The reason we discovered these "good vibrations" is because we're obsessed with layered shots of espresso and they require extra care and attention to find the best formulas. Squid has enabled us to enjoy layered shots of espresso by tamping and distributing uniquely roasted flavor layers of coffee.

​

LAYERED SHOT PREP

Everyday we grab our favorite Light Roast and grind it extra fine and we grab our favorite medium to dark Espresso and grind at it's optimal espresso settings. This method concentrates the flavors and opens up new pathways to enjoy fruity and floral lighter roast coffees as less pungent espressos tasting more like single origin liquid chocolate.

​

CREMA MAGNIFICA

One side effect of mixing conecntrated roasted coffee layers is this idea of the most magnificent crema you've ever seen in your life. It's something we see everyday with Squid and it tastes amazing. The espresso gods aren't happy because we don't even stir the crema anymore. Save your spoons!
