    Espresso with really good flavor and slightly deceptive name. When I hear North Italian I think darker. This is a medium espresso in a style I like - that is, I think there are light beans that impart a strong blackberry acidity, as well as darker roasted beans that impart smoke and spice. Nice crema and body. Could argue it will be a bit acidic for some, especially those expecting a traditional dark roast.

    Cupping Method:Double espresso at Spirit Cafe in Waterbury, CT. This cafe was not a very professional operational barista wise, but they did have a Marzocco that did the job.
