Anyone a Espresso or Capuccino nut like me? Have you tried Bristot? Very simular to Illy, but a little nuttier.

I havent seen that one in the pittsburgh area, how ever I do enjoy the Illy when I get it, I have been drinking a lot of espresso from the coffee shop across the street from the cigar shop, I am not sure what brand they use, Kava is there big go to brand for some of there coffees. Enjoy, Vince

I love a good expresso. I never get it from a coffee shop. They sell the stuff out of a drip machine. I'm talking about the real stuff, mad form a stove top percolator. The old fashioned way. I like it with a lemon twist (sicilian style) and a spoon of sugar. Yummy.

As for brands; I like Lily. It is preground but really good.

Crapucino always toys with my stomach. I don't know if it has anything to do with lactose intolerance...lol I do like a good espresso, I have a machine at work and at the house. Hold the frothy milk please!!

I've never tried Bristot. I'll see if I can find it. I prefer Breves (Espresso with steamed 1/2 & 1/2.) Okay, I don't always make those but, espresso with a bit of sugar in the grind is nice.

No milk steamed or otherwise, no sugar , no nothing, wellllll maybe a little whisky in the coffee or espresso, , & a twist of lemon is ok , it adds a "Brightness" to the coffee . I am working on a 20 ounce mug of espresso right now, its a wonder I can hit the keys on the computer with out breaking the table hahahaha Enjoy , Vince

LOL. Do you have any problems with that much espresso? :flush:

I am right in the middle of remodeling the house. Since I own a paint contracting business, (on the side of my Fire Fighting) it has been fun to finally paint and remodel MY house. Trouble is, I am having a hard time cutting the ceiling lines in after drinking a whole pot of Tarrazu!!! I am shakey!!!
