so, i did more looking at the supermarket and discovered what looked like what i wanted - mild type meant for small shots, what they call "bica" here in #madeira but in italian it's called "ristretto" and part of the trick to them is restricting how long you extract for
first time with it, i probably overfilled the cup a little, but now i understand it next time it will be shorter
the stuff that extracts through first is more tasty, and as it goes longer the bitter/sour flavors start to predominate
and yeah, bica is probably shortened from arabica, the robusta is stronger and darker, and i don't think i like it at all, in fact i think it makes my teeth sensitive
anyhow, so now i know what ristretto means... it's also a algorithm for ... well... i simply saw it being used in khatru and when i search for "ristretto algorithm" this is in the top hits:
