Video of the Day: Behind the Scenes of Intelligentsia

From Boing Boing. Nice video. I could live without the pop-up video sound effects though.

You tried an "americano" and came to the conclusion that it is the best "espresso."

The effect of adding water to an espresso is different for all coffees.  It does not mean that it is a good espresso.

I don't even work or live near any of these coffeehouses, but felt the need to point out the absurd comments and comparisons.

There is a similar recent thread on Home-barista.com, started by someone who only drinks cappucinos, who explains how to make a "godshot."

Are they opening up a location in Malibu? And did you see the link on portafilter.net showing that Vanessa Hudgens was modeling for Intelligentsia? Good stuff

FWIW, best espresso I've had in LA has been at Intelligentsia . . . .
