Espresso Milano is our first new espresso blend since our company's inception in 1985. This northern Italian style blend is sweet and viscous with just the right amount of background bite. All of the components are roasted lightly, to a Full City roast, so you can taste the inherent natural sugar and feel the mouth coating texture. |
Our coffees have received a number of terrific reviews
lately. Six of our current coffees have received high ratings on Coffee
Review, one of the foremost authorities about coffee
on the web and originaters of the 100 point rating system
for coffee.

Feb. 2008, Coffee Review just gave a 93 rating to our Colombia Huila La Argentina. Coffee Review:" impressive balance and structure: lushly sweet but crisply acidy with a lightly syrupy mouthfeel". This lovely micro-lot of coffee was produced in very small quantity; there is not a sufficient amount to segregate the "supremo". This is top-quality Colombia coffee. Read
review... This coffee has now sold out and has been replaced with Colombia Supremo La Argelia - an extremely small farm with which we have a direct relationship. |
