Our Take
As espresso, this coffee had a nice balance of brightness, fruit, and depth, with a naturally creamy texture.
We recommend this as a straight espresso, or with milk if you enjoy the mild balance of Honduran coffees with a rich body, and fresh fruit complexity.
Dune holds some sentimental values for us, which you can read more about in our Dune Coffee Roasters Review.
