I just had one of the tastiest doubles as far as I can remember, earlier this afternoon at Intelligentsia’s downtown store.  It was so fluffy, and crema all the way before I took my last sip.  And “NO”, it was not pulled from a bottomless PF.  Great job, guy…

Been on an espresso hiatus, and ran out of Yergachaffe from
Intelligentsia. So I made a double shot of espresso, and then
decided I just wanted some press pot again. So I tried my
Black Cat, dialed in a 40 on my Rocky and made some up.

Outstanding! I knew this was my favorite espresso blend, but
it's just as good in my press.

It doesn't have to be robusta to taste bad.  Most arabica beans are of poor quality as well.

True, but I remember reading somewhere that they bought a lot of robusta.
