    Finding good coffee in the center of the Las Vegas Strip can be a challenge. However, the Looking Glass espresso from Cool Kids Coffee, available at District Donuts in The Cosmopolitan, stands out.

    This espresso offers a rich and complex flavor profile. The initial notes of dark cherry and plum are complemented by a deep chocolate undertone. The finish features hints of spices and blackberry, adding depth and complexity. Subtle floral overtones provide a balanced touch. Lush and persistent crema. The depth of the flavors and mouthfeel are notably excellent.

    In addition to the outstanding espresso, the cold brew made with a Cool Kids blend is also very good. It's smooth, refreshing, and showcases the same attention to quality and flavor.

    Looking Glass espresso demonstrates the expertise of Cool Kids Coffee in creating a multifaceted and enjoyable coffee experience. It is highly recommended for those seeking a well-crafted espresso on the Strip.

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
Bean Source Country: International Blend
International blend coffee refers to a blend of coffee beans sourced from different regions or countries worldwide. International blends combine beans with distinct flavor profiles and characteristics, resulting in a harmonious and complex cup of coffee. The quality of an international blend depends on the expertise of the coffee roaster, who carefully selects and combines beans to achieve a specific flavor and balance. Roasters who excel in crafting international blends have a deep understanding of the different growing regions, varietals, and processing methods.
Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure. It is characterized by its rich flavor and distinctive crema—the creamy layer that forms on top of the extracted process. When evaluating espresso, coffee experts often focus on key tasting characteristics such as aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste. Aroma refers to the fragrant smells released during brewing, while flavor encompasses the coffee's overall taste profile, including notes of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and richness. Body refers to the coffee's texture or mouthfeel, with descriptors like full-bodied, medium-bodied, or light-bodied. Aftertaste, or the finish, pertains to the lingering flavors and sensations experienced after swallowing the coffee. A well-prepared espresso is prized for its balance and complexity, combining these sensory attributes into a harmonious whole.
