Ristretto is espresso made by firmly packing enough espresso beans for a double shot, and only pulling a single, while cutting the process before it turns blonde (before the cream comes out). It is hailed as the most delicious part of the espresso because it avoids the burnt taste that happens when the beans have more water pushed through them. Also, that first bit of coffee has most of the of oils from the beans in it, and the oils are where most of the aromas are found; ergo, you capture the essence of the espresso in the ristretto more than you would in a normal shot.

Important Notes
You will be travelling on backcountry forest service roads. For your safety, please watch your speed, other road users and wildlife. Logging trucks and BC Hydro trucks may be encountered along this road. Cell phone service is virtually nonexistent. Please practice safe caching, and Be Prepared. The road is gravel with some pot holes. There were a few water bars when the caches were hidden in October 2018. In March 2019, when I revisited to double check coordinates, many new water bars had been dug, some fairly deep. You will want a higher clearance vehicle to navigate them. The roads may not be passable during snowy conditions.
These caches are not meant to be a power trail. Power trail logging practices are not acceptable. This includes throwing down replacement caches or swapping containers. If you can not find the cache, log a DNF. If a log sheet is damp and you have supplies feel free to replace the log sheet or write a needs maintenance log.
