I promised myself that if ever I had some money that I would savor a cigar each day after lunch and dinner. This is the only resolution of my youth that I have kept, and the only realized ambition which has not brought disillusion.— Somerset Maugham

QuoteWaffles - 1/25/2012 9:03 AMMost america espresso beans are crap(in my opinion), it just tastes like strong coffee(It is kind of like buying a machine rolled cigar to coffee geeks). Here is one of the few quality brands i have been able to find local(http://www.lavazza.com/corporate/en/).I am going to hold back ranting about what is called espresso in the US as it would make me look like a HUGE shob.

You mean you don't like Starbucks? What makes you thing that?? Oddly they make a mean Chai Tea Latte and the new blonde roast is a damn fine drip coffee.
Quoteewu - 1/18/2012 12:58 AMThis coffee is meticulously sourced (think Ethiopian varietals) and then artisan roasted by a father and son team. Incredible stuff and definitely worth a try if you're looking to treat yourself. I don't have an espresso rig but I use their beans to make pourover coffee in a Chemex and it is awesome.http://www.novocoffee.com/coffee/espresso
