⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️

A Matter of Concrete (A.M.O.C.) is a forward thinking and seriously good, roaster based in Rotterdam, Netherlands - the brainchild of former Coffee Masters Champion Rob Clarijs .cc 🏆

Moonstruck has been a part of a special event where A.M.O.C. released a rosado washed x rosado thermal shock blend for espresso, cafes around the works have been serving this all month.

Expect a fruit bomb of raspberry and rhubarb with a delicious praline chocolate richness ☕️✨

We’ve had great feedback all month in the cafe having this as a house espresso option, but now it’s time to go all in! A.M.O.C. rosado is in the hopper and will be served with all drinks this weekend!

We’re excited to have coffee from Substance Cafe (Paris) and The Picky Chemist (Belgium), on the bar at Moonstruck Cafe.

Both roasteries excel at selecting incredible lots which are artfully roasted, very much on the lighter end of the spectrum. This maintains and highlights the beautifully delicate characteristics of these amazing coffees.

All available on the bar as pourovers in limited quantities.

From Stéphane at The Picky Chemist:

+ Hacienda La Esmeralda El Velo - Panama Gesha
+ Inoi Ndimi AA - Kenya SLs
+ Gesha Village Lot 25 - Ethiopia Gesha

From Joachim at Substance Cafe:

At Moonstruck we like to create a relaxed, friendly environment to enjoy a coffee and good company. It’s a space where you can slow down and take a moment.

Photographer David Wilman visited the cafe recently, and captured these beautiful shots on a Hasselblad with Tri-X 400 film.

David: “Analogue photography represents a slower pace, taking a moment to think about what it is you wish to capture. It’s about intention, reflection and the non-instant gratification once you press the button.”

Announcing the Moonstruck House Espresso! 🎉 Selected by us, roasted by the wonderful people at PLOT – this is a super juicy Kenyan coffee from the Muthuaini washing station 🇰🇪 (swipe left to see the location from above) 🌍

A key concept of Moonstruck Cafe is having world-class coffee as our house espresso, meaning you can order your regular drink and get something special ✨ This washed Kenyan coffee is juicy and vibrant with tasting notes of redcurrant and cranberry.

Careful curation of the espresso recipe, our meticulous preparation of every shot, along with us utilising turbo shots results in a smooth, balanced espresso which is a delight as a straight espresso, and deliciously fruity with milk.

See you soon at the cafe to try this amazing Kenyan coffee, it will be one of the most delicious house espressos you’ve tasted. ☕️✌🏻

🤓 A few other nerdy facts about our Kenyan house espresso:

+ Our turbo shots with this coffee are currently running at 17 seconds, this includes a 5 second pre-wet of the puck

+ Great coffee like this can benefit from a longer ratio to extract all the delicious flavours, we are currently using a 17g coffee dose to a 44g espresso yield

+ We use the Barista Hustle AutoComb to prepare every shot for even extraction and reduce the chance of channeling, particularly important when running turbo shots

+ PLOT roast on the lighter side and on a Loring so we rest our house espresso at least 6 weeks to ensure it’s fully degassed, at peak flavour, with stable extractions
