Caffé Vincente Espresso Blend
In August I posted an entry on Boing Boing about my new espresso machine and the trouble I was having getting it to make crema, that delicious light colored foam on the top of a well-shot cup of espresso.
The fine folks at Caffé Pronto felt sorry for me, and sent me a bag of Caffé Vincente Espresso Blend, advertised to have "rich crema, and a long smooth finish."
Doubtful, I ground some up and turned on the machine. My mouth watered at the sight of the tawny crema emanating from the portafilter. And it's delicious to boot. I like the kind of espresso that numbs my tongue, and Caffé Vincente is loaded with whatever alkaloid does that. Time to buy more. Link /
