Ristretto (Italian for “restricted,” and a term used for the first sweet burst of espresso) Roasters founder and coffee roaster Din Johnson handcrafts every batch of beans, roasting them on-site in a vintage Probat roaster.
While consumers often associate fl, glossy beans with richness and flavor, these beans have essentially had the flavors roasted out of them, the oils on the exterior of the bean ensuring only that it with spoil faster.
All Ristretto Roasters coffees are medium-roasted, allowing the consumer to experience the flavors of the coffee (rather than merely the roast).
A normal (double) espresso shot is a 60 ml (2 fl oz), while a (double) ristretto is a 30-45 ml (1–1.5 fl oz).
One method of pulling a ristretto shot is to grind the coffee finer than that used for normal espresso, and pull the shot for the same amount of time as a normal shot.
Therefore, a ristretto is not simply twice as "strong" as a regular shot, nor is a lungo simply twice as weak.
