### A Closer Look

Opascope’s effervescent and bright tropical fruit flavors are a refreshing contrast to our deeper, more chocolatey espressos. Inspired by its namesake — a quaint tool used for magnifying finely rendered artwork — we drew out minute flavors and amplified them for everyone to enjoy in this espresso blend.

This blend was originally crafted exclusively for the Bay Area, roasted, tasted, and perfected by a small team in our Oakland roastery who wanted to create an espresso as illuminated and boisterous as the community we found in our hometown.

#### Roast Story

Lightly roasted to showcase the producers’ artistry, it yields an effervescent shot brimming with tropical notes, providing a bright counterpoint to richer, chocolatey espressos.

#### Blend Inspiration

A more modern style of espresso than its predecessors, a freshly pulled shot of Opascope brings to mind notes of apricot, lemon zest, and warm peach shrub.

## Signature Blends Brew Guide

1.  **Heat Your Water**

Heat at least 350 g water to 195–205ºF. Darker roasts brew best at the cooler side of the spectrum, while lighter roasts take hotter water.

2.  **Grind Your Coffee**

Grind your coffee to a medium grind.

3.  **Bloom the Grounds**

Add your coffee to the filter sitting inside your dripper. Shake gently until level.

Start your timer and scale at zero. Beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: three laps out then three laps in, until you reach 50 g on the scale.

You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.

4.  **Begin Your First Pour**

At 40 seconds, beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: five laps out then five laps in, until you reach 150 g on the scale.

You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.

5.  **Begin Your Second Pour**

At 1:10 minutes, beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: five laps out then five laps in, until you reach 250 g on the scale.

You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.

6.  **Begin Your Final Pour**

At 1:40 minutes, beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: five laps out then five laps in, until you reach 350 g on the scale.

You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.

7.  **Wait for the Finished Cup**

Allow all the water to pass through the dripper into the carafe. Total brew time — depending on coffee, roast level, and grind — can take anywhere from 2:30 to 3:30 minutes.

8.  **Enjoy**

Pour the coffee into your favorite mug and enjoy. If you brewed into a mug, give it a stir before drinking.
