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.

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).
