## What the Brand Says

> Is this coffee your favorite? We also offer Amor Prohibido Subscriptions! Recommended Brew Ratios: Espresso: 1:2 - 1:2.1 (17.5-18g in, 35-38 out, 30-32 seconds) Filter: 1:16.0 Batch Brew: 1:16.0 Here at Little Waves, we jokingly call Amor Prohibido 'the Cocoa favorite' in a nod to our Cocoa Cinnamon cafes and the coffee's sweet, chocolatey profile. Notes of toffee and candied orange balance this blend out to make a sweet, full-bodied cup. Amor also works perfectly in milk-based beverages, which help to bring out its big, candy-sweet notes. Amor Prohibido is a blend of American coffees that rotate seasonally but always to match this profile. *If you would like this coffee ground, please specify brew method in comments.
